Fair enough,just think they were there for the taking last night,especially after going 1-0 up. Would have taken 3-3 obviously,but soft & silly goals is a new & unfortunate habit. Defensively,Belgium not all that. KDB & Doku were class offensively. Play-offs it is 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️

Not giving up on Pêllamy.But Craig needs to learn & adapt.Acknowledge the players he has might not be able to play to his style+system.Page was accused of being conservative,defensive & unambitious.Bellamy could be accused of being the opposite: open,overambitious & naïve.A painful night. Nos da 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️🇧🇪

Blew it tonight.What a chance to beat 🇧🇪.But we keep giving stupid goals away.Pêllamy was all the range in ‘24,but we’ve seen a regression in ‘25. Quality teams will score against us. You can win 6-5,but it requires elite forwards.Which we don’t have.Harris over Kieffer?Baffling.Frustrating night 🤯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️

Ireland had managed to keep Portugal out for 90 minutes, but in the first minute of added time, Ruben Neves heads home from Francisco Trincao's cross to win it for Roberto Martinez's side.

You can't say the hosts didn't deserve it.

Amdani. Deall y rhwystredigaeth gyda Llafur,ond bydd Reform Farage byth yr ateb. Amser am blaid sy’n rhoi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 yn 1af a gwrthsefyll y dde eithafol / Let’s go. Get the frustration with Labour,but Farage’s Reform is never the answer. Time for a party that puts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 1st & opposes the extreme right #VotePlaid

Plaid Cymru @plaidcymru.bsky.social · 6d

People across #Wales are ready for change - not the anger and division of Reform, but real leadership that stands up for our nation 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fairness. Ambition. Real plans for a better future.

It's time for new leadership for Wales. It's time for Plaid Cymru ✊

Yes. Poor. Tuchel wants a world class team,they don’t have world class fans. We sang “Is this a library?” & rightly so. 3-0 up and they left in their hundreds from 70 mins. Obviously they have some loud & proud fans but Wembley wasn’t a cauldron of English passion…👀⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Aros yn bositif/Staying positive.However:

*Need Neco on Doku 13/10. Best bet of containing him.So need another fullback fluid at LB/RB (big ask of Dasilva/Kpakio)
*Cullen can’t play in a two.Need JJ with Ampadu
*Need more from Brennan.Body language & more
*Set piece basics.KDB will notice

Noson anodd. Methu rhoi gols hawdd i tîm fel 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Ond well 2il hanner,a egni cefnogwyr Y Wal Goch yn anhygoel. Ymlaen i 🇧🇪 13/10

Difficult night. Can’t give easy goals to a team like 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. But better 2nd half,& energy of Red Wall supporters was incredible,Wembley quiet otherwise…Onwards to 🇧🇪 13/10

Match day! Focus has to be on 🇧🇪 13/10…but a result tonight v dear neighbours would be great!😀

Sure that Leighton James (scored a winning penalty in Wembley ‘77) & Joey Jones (beat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 3 times) are backing us somewhere❤️

Tough game but the challenge that Bellamy welcomes.Good Luck boys👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #CmonCymru

Jenrick fancies himself as part Bruce Wayne,part Judge Dredd,part Trump. Trying desperately to import the MAGA playbook for popular points. By Christmas he’ll either be Tory leader or jumped onto the bad ship Reform as another Farage foot soldier 🥴👀

What is it with right backs going full Serpico?? First Hector Bellerin,then
Connor Roberts 😂👏

Bellerin’s not your average footballer. Not afraid to share his views on the environment & sustainability,the genocide in Gaza and his passion for books & fashion is evident. Smart guy 👏⚽️🇪🇸
