He sends them to sleep then pounces late on. Well past his best but no doubting his commitment to Wales.

US controlling proceedings and Roberts hasn't had a chance to show what he can do going forwards, mind you neither have any other Welsh players.

Great pass by Pulisic and finish by Weah (that's Timothy Weah for those of an older vintage not George.

How about we talk to Lille about Weah? JBG replacement. He also has a 17 year old cousin - Patrick

Wales giving the US acres of space in the center of the pitch. I’m not eve sure what their game plan is.

He'll have to change something because it's incessant pressure from the US.

Wales are being run over in midfield so the option to go long and win the 2nd balls may improve things.

100%, has to change it at half time or not bother coming out. Dan James is quick but that's it, stealing a living as a top flight footballer

This will be so disappointing for the Welsh. At this rate they’ll end up with red cards and be overrun. They’re better than this. Page needs to sort it out at half time. Play to strengths!
