I would root for Wales in France, but they're a one man team.
Gareth Bale is an exceptional player but in Ramsey and Ashley Williams Wales do have other stellar players. Oh what I wouldn't give to have Ashley Williams play for Liverpool, the guy is an absolute rock in defence and vastly underrated. It's the sum of all the parts that make Wales tick though. All the players contribute. Robson Kanu runs himself into the ground each time which creates space for Bale and Ramsey to exploit. King, Ledley, Allen and Dave Edwards all protect the back four and in defence we have strength in depth at last, Williams, Chester, Dummett, Ben Davies, Collins, Taylor all premier league players.
The key thing for me though, and it's almost like a perfect storm of everything coming together and planets aligning and shit is the terrible treatment Bale has received at Madrid by player, press and fans and in particular that twat Ronaldo. Even when he plays well, scores a brace and creates another, his first thought is, I'm off to play withe the Welsh squad again soon, wahey! His sheer desire to succeed for, and with, a team of players that he has been playing with for many years (thanks to Toshacks policy of blooding youngsters) is bearing fruit for Wales and boy oh boy, it's a fucking exciting time!!
C'mon Cymru!!
