Wales 2026 World Cup qualifying thread.

I'm sure Roberto Baggio and Salvatore Schillaci will be bricking it
As it happens their current manager, Genaro Gattusso played in the game when we beat them 2-1 in Cardiff in 2002. Along with Buffon, Del Piero, Pirlo, Nesta, Cannavaro etc
 
If we get to the final we will win I reckon...Bit of an if though...Italy are shit away from home...Don't get me wrong they are decent enough and competitive but nothing like they are at home...that would have been a very hard ask...this way we have a chance...The first game will be the hardest.
 
From an Italian point of view, Wales away is one of the worst finals they could have had.
Probably the worst for them if we get there...Shame it cant be played in the freezing cold in January one evening.

I assumed they'd be a really tough ask but sounds like their fans don't have much faith in their manager. By rights they should qualify with a procession like England, Germany and the frogs do as they have the population, the league and the passion for the game. Clearly struggling a bit so hopefully they'd feel the pressure away from home.

Missed the last 2 World Cups haven't they and England should really have battered them in those stupid Euros...I reckon England would have beaten them in that tournament if it was played in say Germany, France, Spain..it's only cause they had it so easy playing at home all the time without the whole tournament being played in Emgland and getting some momentum they were undercooked by the Final.
 
Atmosphere will be another level if it’s Wales Italy final

Off the scale

It genuinely did...consider those Euros alongside 96...the atmosphere and the the buzz built over a month up to them almost beating the Germans...You need a 1 country tournament...The World Cup will be shit split up over 3 countries...The World cup should strictly be awarded like this

Europe
South America
Europe
South America
And nobody fucking else

Euros like this

France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, England and maybe a Nordic country.

On repeat

And no fucker else

I think there's a place for giving new territories the occasional WC but not in the shamelessly corrupt way FIFA are doing now. The American games in particular feel like a shameless, joyless cash grab - didn't feel that way in 94

Also with the Euros I think put the biggest football countries in high rotation but share the off game around like they do in the egg amd occasionally give other countries a chance to host if they want to

How has the 100m sprint been watered down? Don't follow it enough to know. Seemed as good as it gets when Bolt was in his prime

The expansion of the tournaments is a double edge sword. Amazing to go to WC and Euros as a Wales fan but appreciate that would be less likely in a tighter format. However there are too many nonsense games with weak teams and that's before the new expansion with some bona fide garbage in it
