The Welsh Revolution

Albanians banished.

​

2 - 4

ALBANIA 2-4 WALES
SALIHI 17 pen.,DALLKU 51 | BALE 6, MORRISON 42, VAUGHAN 77, COLLISON 85

M.O.T: Gareth Bale-1 Goal, 1 Assist and an 8.3 match rating

What a game- we left it not too late but made sure of victory. Morrison has scored 5 in the last 3- 6 in 7 games under me- but I'm most impressed with Neil Taylor's 5 assists.

TOP 25

We broke into the top 25 ranked teams in the world-at 25th. Oh well, it counts.

 

[ZeusThunder]

Were 24th now- next game against Egypt, then we have 2 home games against Belgium and Croatia.

 

[ZeusThunder]

0 - 4

EGYPT 0-4 WALES

MORRISON 9, 45+1, 70, 76

Wow. Morrison can't stop scoring- good result, considering we didn't have Bale, Ledley or Bellamy. Also the first time we've scored 4 on the road and not conceded.

 

[ZeusThunder]

World Cup Here we come?

We moved up to 22nd in the world rankings, and what a way to celebrate:

3 - 2

WALES 3 -2 BELGIUM

J.COLLINS 10 PEN HAZARD 36
TAYLOR 33 WITSEL 55 PEN
MORISON 58

What a game- slightly worried when they equalised because it was a dodgy penalty- but Morison (I've been calling him wrong) has scored 11 in 9- 5 goals in 2013, so I knew he had to score.

2012 REVIEW

As were well into 2013, I've decided to review the past 12 months:

Wales 2-0 San Marino

Wales 2-0 South Africa

Croatia 1-2 Wales

Wales 2-0 Scotland

Serbia 1-1 Wales

FYR Macedonia 1-4 Wales

Albania 2-4 Wales

8 games, 7 won and 1 draw, That's impressive. We were supposed underdogs in all these games, (Except against Macedonia and San Marino) and we shot into 1st place in our group with 10 points.

Things to look forward to in 2013:

Four Associations Cup:

Finding out if we qualify for the world cup:

TOP 20

We've broken into the top 18- Hopefully by the 2016 Euros we break into the top 10- but this is brilliant!

16th best team in the world

Were now the 16th best team in the world, but a good week carried on by these results:

​​

2 - 1

WALES 2-1 CROATIA

MORISSON 41 |TAYLOR 85 O.G
VOKES 47

Yes cracking result- bit of a shame about the own goal but hey it's football.

 

[ZeusThunder]

Slovenia

1 - 2

SLOVENIA 1-2 WALES
MATAVZ 39 | MORISSON 28,45+1

Really Happy with this result- 11 successive games without losing. Steve Morison- 14 goals in 11 appearances.
I'm gonna hate it when he retires.

 

[ZeusThunder]

TOP 10

Wow. Were 10th in the world- that's 47 places we've moved up from 57th. That's what happens when you go on a 11 unbeaten streak in international football, I guess, so if we have a good world cup campaign we should go higher.

 

[ZeusThunder]

8th In the world- still concede against San Marino

2 - 5

SAN MARINO 2-5 WALES
BINDI 32 MONTANARI 84| MORISON 14,30,47 ROBSON-KANU 36 ALLEN 73

Were 8th in the world- so I guess the rest of the world is dead. Uruguay are 1st, so that supports my claim. Any way my first game was against San Marino, and to see how much we've improved from a 2-0 win is..... quite a bit.

GIGGSY FOR WALES?

Ryan Giggs has accepted the offer of a full team coach.

 

[ZeusThunder]

0 - 1

SCOTLAND 0-1 WALES
DIXON 71 RC | LEDLEY 78

It's always satisfying to do the double over your rivals, and we did that here.Now means were 2/3/4 points of securing top spot, but I think Ramsey is suspended.

 

[ZeusThunder]

Only 1 point away...

1 - 1

BELGIUM 1-1 WALES
FELLANI 81| LEDLEY 2

Wow. We've Qualified.For the second time in Wales' history, we have qualified for the world cup.We were unlucky- had a goal wrongly chalked off. Ledley has scored 2 in 2 now, and what an amazing start.

 

[ZeusThunder]

Serbia knocked for six!

6 - 1

WALES 6-1 SERBIA
BALE 6,53 KING 11,41 ROBSON-KANU 22 MORISON 83|TADIC 27

Wow. I wanted revenge against Serbia for being the team we first lost points against, but I wasn't expecting this. I was slightly worried because Morison hadn't scored.

4 - 2

WALES 4-2 FYR MACEDONIA

ROBSON KANU 26,43 MORISON 45+1 LEDLEY 69|PANDEV 4 (PEN) TRAJKOVSKI 25

Was slightly worried at the beginning because we wrongly gave a penalty away- then we went 2-0 down off an offside goal. Luckily we pulled it back and won 4-2.

 

[ZeusThunder]

0 - 1

ALGERIA 0-1 WALES
ROBSON-KANU 72

Bit of a dull game- we had the exact same formation so we clashed- but in the end we prevailed.

 

[ZeusThunder]

Oh forgot to mention we're now 7th in the world.
