Welsh National Football Team
 Welsh National Football Team ... international men's football. Controlled by the Football Association of Wales, the governing body for football in Wales, they are one of the oldest national teams in the world. Although not a major force in world football, Wales constantly punches above its weight and has regularly beaten some of the best teams in the world. Following a disappointing start to the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign Hughes left his role with the national team to take over as manager of Blackburn Rovers of the English Premiership. John Toshack was appointed manager for the second time on 12 November 2004. In the qualification for Euro 2008, Wales has been drawn in Group D alongside Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Republic of Ireland, Cyprus and San Marino.Newest Review: ... the late Michael Bates who stole the part of bearer to the British Army in the series - he was the epitome of all that was Victorian colonial. With exaggerated accent, he would express his continuous gratitude to the Army being present in his country. He spoke as being one of them and would finalise each episode with a fable which would start off as , ‘..there is an old saying in Hindu…’ or ... more ... words to that effect…
Although the programme was shot around the fumblings of a concert party, simply there to entertain the troops, it showed the strengths and the weaknesses of these men who preferred to drag up as women instead of go into the jungl...more |

Some would argue that the best material comes from within. It can’t be read, or over heard, but it can experienced, so where could growing script legends Jimmy Perry and David Croft go for situation comedy genius? After existing careers had since flourished both behind and in front of the camera from their own memories of National Service and the Home Guard, what more could be tempt the BBC into script writing submission? A Royal Artillery Concert Party. Since the acclaimed success of the original series in 1968 of ‘Dad’s Army,’ the BBC’s most successful partnerships decided to create a follow up but on a different slant. Since the highly regarded ...

With players like Giggs and Hartson, why is it that Wales are ranked below Vietnam in the FIFA World Rankings? On paper the side doesn't look great - but it doesn't look worse than a team of amateurs from Congo. I'll run through some of the players in the current Wales Squad: Paul Jones, Goalkeeper, Southampton. Ryan Giggs, Midfield, Man Utd. John Hartson, Striker, Coventry. Craig Bellamy, Midfield, Coventry. Mark Delaney, Defence, Aston Villa. With players like this why are we so bad. Is it the manager,Mark Hughes? Probably not. After losing to Belarus and failing to beat Armenia, once again the familar story is being ...

I do actually feel sorry for the Wales supporter they haven’t won a match since beating San Marino in 1996 an to be honest they don’t look like doing so. They should be doing better.

They should have gone for some experience and maybe Hughes as his number two. But, the manager the first mistake. And maybe they should believe in themselves a bit more, teams like Armenia should be a walk over, nothing to be frightened of and they ...
