Maybe so, but on the basis they’re ranked 140 and England are at #4, I’d still expect a bigger win, but maybe next time?

What was destined to be a bore-draw in the Wales match, lit up with a 91st minute goal for N.Macedonia. Looked to have won the game only for Wales to bag a 96th minute equaliser! A good point away from home in the end for Wales.

Good job we weren't playing the whole of Macedonia... :(

They can be tricky team to be fair. Famously dumped the Italians out of the world cup. Held us to a 1-1 draw in the Euro qualifying (though we did beat them 7 - 0 in the previous fixture :D)

I've decided to watch my first game of this campaign, in what should be a goal fest against a mighty Andorra.

Good to see Captain Harry is as good as ever. I'm sure he'll notch one or 2 up against a very poor Andorra, but he's making hard work of it already.

I lost interest in this game as soon as I saw Henderson starting in big 2025. Was tempted to stick a tenner on Andorra at 100+ to 1 odds. :wink:

Big game for you tonight against Belgium, Pharvey! Sitting pretty in second at the mo with a game in hand over 1st placed N. Macedonia. But Belgium have two games in hand over you, a win for them and it's all in the balance. A win for Wales and ya flying!

3-1! There is hope. Our Brennan Johnson will bag a brace in the second if he isn't substituted. :D
