I understand that there is some sort of competition for footballists coming up soon.

I drew the team from Germany in our sweep at CAB. Do I have any chance of winning?

As I understand it, some people have to kick a ball into a net, or something, and the one who does it the most times wins the game.

Seems a bit pointless to me, but I thought I'd give it a go. Exciting these office draws, aren't they? Certainly more interesting than kicking a ball about.

Ian is see your team in your sweep stake lost in the other semi final, bit of a shock really as Germany are the current world champions.

I think there are prizes down to third place.......did they come third? Undecided

In the world cup the losing semi finalists normall play off for third + 4th place, not heard anything about eurochamps though so not sure

Only winners and runners-up, so you could say Germany and Wales are both joint third. A far bigger result for Wales than Germany.

Wow! Just watched BBC Wales' coverage of the welcome home to Cardiff for the team, fantastic. Just what would have been the response if we had won the competition. Diolch boys.

It seems that about 30,000 people had nothing better to do than traipse over to Cardiff stadium to cheer the welsh footballers.......can't be much to do in Wales?

Remind me again......didn't they lose......by playing badly?

Does this say a lot about the intelelect of football fans?

I read somewhere there were also 200,000 along the roads and more at the airport. But then they did exceed all expectations unlike our motley crew who definitely lived down to our expectations.

No but it does say a lot about national pride and togetherness, something sadly that seems to be missing the other side of Offa's dyke.

You have national pride in a team who lost......by playing badly, apparantly?

Sorry Nellie.....I must have mis-understood those posters who said that they played poorly and were knocked out by a better team.

I wouldn't know, because I didn't watch it. I once saw someone kick a football and I didn't find it particularly interesting.

So, because the fans don't throw chairs at each other, they are a credit to their country?
