Dragons v Lions in Arabia.

St George Patron Saint of England slayed the Dragon so legend has it. By George is an exclamation and by George one wonders whether the English can slay the Welsh in Qatar tonight.

Now known as the Lions can their mouths be kept shut by the Welsh. On paper Wales look the inferior team of course as the prima donnas from the Premier League grace the grass. During the Anthems we heard the boys from the Valleys sing their hearts out while the English certainly the majority mumbled ( probably not knowing God save the King ).

The game started and 20 minutes in Wales looked like they were waiting to lose. England meanwhile passed the ball around wonderfully in their own half moving sideways and backwards with great accuracy. The English engine looked like it had no forward gear. Rashford of School Dinner fame almost knocked out one of the Welsh dinner monitors with a ferocious ball to the head.

Watching on TV the famous Welsh striker Ian Rush has just made an incredible sage remark ‘ you need to score a goal to win the game ‘. . He may not have learnt much at school but he was good at football. Half time no goals yet and zero zero draw. In the other match the Yanks are beating Iran ( nothing new ). My half time view is that I’m convinced whoever goes through from this match to the next round will never win the World Cup. Football is not coming home but these two teams are sooner rather than later.

Gary Lineker of BBC fame wins every match of course as the highest paid character off the License fee. Back to the next 45 minutes and Bale has been Baled up and out which is great news that he can finally go back to his golf course. The Lionesses are much better to watch than the lions. Shirley Bassey and Charlotte Church much better to watch than the Welsh.

The school dinner boy opens the scoring as the Welsh goalkeeper fluffed and then another Manchester boy nailed the Dragons with a second goal. England are going for the jugular now and are out to punish everyone west of Bristol.

Kane is no longer Able and is substituted. Is he joining Bale in retirement? Ramsey who plays for Wales is no relation to Alf of 1966 fame has finally decided to stop walking around the pitch and almost broke the leg of an English man. He must have dyed his hair blond so as not to be recognized. 70 minutes in the Welsh are heading towards Doha Airport and the English off to meet and beat Senegal. The school dinner boy goes into desert , treacle pudding with custard as the third goal goes in. Goalkeeper Ward can let the ball go through legs and hands.

Wales are good at Rugby and singing at least which is the only takeaway from this game. The players are tiring in the Desert Heat and coming to an end game. Wales win a free kick which they’ll take anything for free. Alas no penetration. We can however share the fact we are two nations under one Brexit sharing the same law of England and Wales connected by the M4 and a single currency. No hard feelings guys George didn’t really slay a dragon and England could go on and win the World Cup or is that just myth.
