Joe Allen: 'Such a cruel way to end a game'
Such a cruel way to end a game, so sad for Dan James.It's disappointing not to go to Germany but I'm so proud of the boys in what they've done over the last two years.
The future is a bright one for Wales, after this summer focus will turn to the World Cup campaign.

England 1-2 Belgium
This is the Belgium version of Romelu Lukaku that we are seeing here, rather than the one who ultimately flattered to deceive in the Premier League with Manchester United and Chelsea.
Lukaku is 30 now but always looks about five years younger, quicker and more alert when he plays for his country. Lukaku has been impressive from the start here.

'Lewis Dunk is struggling at this level'
A breathless first half had so much to admire from both sides going forward but a lot for England to fret about at the back. There is some evidence to suggest that Lewis Dunk is struggling at this level and he was at fault for Belgium's second goal when he did not have the strength or the conviction to prevent the ball reaching Romelu Lukaku.
Those who condemn Southgate for caution when he shields England's defence with two holding midfielders may be starting to realise why he does it.

'It feels like Anthony Gordon and Jarrod Bowen are playing for one place'
It feels like Anthony Gordon and Jarrod Bowen are playing for one place in the squad. The former did very well against Brazil on Saturday but Bowen also impressed when he came on. It is the turn of the West Ham winger to shine tonight.
I think this call is 60-40 in Gordon's favour at present, as much because of his defensive work - and England have a potential weakness at left back. But a goal for Bowen here might just swing things in his favour.

'Neither Cardiff nor Swansea represented in Rob Page’s side'
Four Leeds players, two from Tottenham, yet not a single one in the Wales starting XI from either of the country’s two biggest clubs.
With Aaron Ramsey on the bench, neither Cardiff nor Swansea are represented in Rob Page’s side for their most significant fixture since the 2022 World Cup.This says less about the big two in Wales than it does about the strength now available to Page.

'Interesting to see how Toney leads the line'
The England starting XI is out and it’s as predicted by Mail Online last night and the Daily Mail this morning. That means full debuts for Ivan Toney, Kobbie Mainoo and Ezri Konsa.
What an opportunity for the trio to gatecrash the Euro 2024 squad. Particularly interesting to see how Toney leads the line. A good performance tonight and surely he’s on the plane.

'This feels like a make-or-break night for Ivan Toney's Euros hopes'
This feels like a make-or-break night for Ivan Toney's hopes of being included in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024. The consensus is that only one of Toney and Ollie Watkins will go to Germany, effectively as Harry Kane's understudy.
After Watkins struggled to make an impression in a flat team performance against Brazil, this is Toney's big opportunity.

Declan Rice set to captain England for 50th Cap
On my 50th cap, to walk out at Wembley in front of my family and friends, it is a great honour - I'm a bit speechless.
It is a pinch-me moment, it will be an honour. I was absolutely lost for words when [Gareth Southgate] said to me I was going to be captain.
