It’s the National press though… not the english press. I’m not arsed about It, I don’t read the papers, I’m just stating the facts.

Tbf the media here are part of the problem with many when it comes to England, it’s them that overhype the squads and then fight over themselves to tear them down when it goes tits up

There were 12 pages all about Wales today.

And you cant deny it, cos you dont read the papers.

Definitely

All they’d need to do is just dial it back, call a spade a spade and temper hopes and people would get more behind the squad

Think Southgate might consider big changes now as will be happy to avoid topping the group and facing Germany

England’s problem is the fact they think they are one of the best teams around. Once they accept they are not the team they and the media talk them up to be then they will be able to play with less pressure and more freedom.

Oft repeated welsh/Irish/Scottish sentiment but a fallacy. Nobody, not the players, media or fans seriously believe we are one of the best teams. It’s just something people say whenever we celebrate winning a few games or try to enjoy or be excited about a run in a tournament.

We're havent believed we've a good side since the last time we beat England.

At this point the idea that ‘it’s coming home’ is just as hilarious to us as it is to everyone else!

No sorry I just meant that our neighbors believe that we believe we have a great team when we know that we don’t. I know Irish people don’t believe that they have a great team! Such a delusional maniac would clearly need sectioning under the mental health act!

Except people in wales and Scotland are also in the competition and we pay the same tv license… we don’t get a tenth of the coverage england do .

You are right, Wales population 3.1M, England population 56M...never mind 10% of the coverage you should only get 5.5%.......England are being short changed here.....

Theres more sheep in Wales and Scotland than people.

Your inferiority complex to the English amuses me deeply.

Drawing with a country that’s 10 times the size of mine in terms of population…

to a man, we’re not the inferior ones.

If population mattered China would win it every year.

Some countries are just not made for football.

England, yes, Wales, no, Scotland, no, Ireland, LOL.

England's problem has forever been getting the squad playing well as a team. In terms of talent and quality there's very little to doubt. Never had a manager as good as the players.
