Can’t believe it, never thought I’d see this in a lifetime.
Awesome game, super tense.
Hate to knock out Ukraine, but WC baby!!
Well done Wales! Edge of the seat stuff, they just did enough.
Bet Vlad Putin’s pleased.
Well done Wales!
Gareth bale is just another kind of animal when it comes to internationals!
Congratulations to Wales. It was a brilliant end-to-end game.
Let’s hope they get out of the group stages now. I’d rather it was them than the US going through.

Don’t understand why the UK has 4 teams
You love to see it
That’s the problem with Ukraine, they always try to walk it in.
Enjoy it while you can, Welsh fans. Sir harry kane is sending you home
Well done at soccer! But why not let Ukraine win, won’t it be worth it?
As a Canadian I thought we had clear sailing through to hoisting the Cup. Now we actually have some worthy competition..
Wales seem to only qualify for the World Cup when international politics is involved.
In 1958, it looked like Israel (who were then part of the Asian Football Confederation) would qualify for the World Cup without playing a match, as several Muslim countries chose to forfeit rather than play them. FIFA hastily arranged a playoff between Israel and a randomly selected team from those who had finished second in their group- at the time, only group winners qualified.
Wales were chosen, and beat Israel 4-0 on aggregate over two legs.
It can be argued that the playoff possibly saved the life of Wales manager Jimmy Murphy- he was also Matt Busby’s assistant at Manchester United. If he hadn’t been busy managing Wales in the home leg he would have travelled to Belgrade with United, and been on their plane when it crashed in Munich.
