England has sheep (the UK as a whole is the 8th most sheep populous country in the world) and it didn't do them much good. I think ewe is trying to ram in a bit of wooly thinking there.
The reason for Wales' success is much simpler. They've hit upon this weird and exotic tactic of scoring goals - too old school for all those modern coaches in other countries but there you go! Highest scorers in the tournament and the only team averaging 2 per game.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

You don't mean...
...no, it can't be that simple...
...more goals equals you win the game? 
Why did nobody tell the England manager that years ago? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There's not a whole lot of "U" in "UK" either right at the moment...

Are you saying that the game is not all about complaining? Are you sure? There are any sources to support your theory?

All those skills drive me away from watching football - however I may check the next Wales performance...

So another thing[^] they have in common with the Icelanders.
Oh, BTW, the link is about Svið, so it might not be SFW if you have people with delicate stomachs around.

If it will be Wales vs Iceland a the final I will put up a big screen and server an all sheep dinner for all who come (a barbeque probably)...

Iceland basically does not have any trees, so I'll assume BBQs doesn't come that naturally for them.

Who needs tree when you've got volcanoes[^]?

Not too long ago, I returned from Bangladesh. There I worked with many people from around the world, even with many people from Italy.
I'm sad.

A sad event indeed.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

When are we going to get tough & smart and call this what it is - ISLAMIC terrorism. SAD!
|
|
|
|
|
And when the IRA was in full swing was that considered Catholic Terrorism?
And when Isreal bombs Gaza - is that referred to Jewish Terrorism?
Too often criminals and terrorists are branded by their religion - when in fact - they are simply "terrorists".

You are so very right!

No, it is the Jewish people refusing to bow down to ISLAMIC terrorists and standing up for their country and border - Something we as Americans should do!

And guess what, we executed Timothy McVeigh, so what's your point?
|
|
|
|
|
Along that line of reasoning, one would think that Jonathan Pollard should have been executed for putting the middle east at risk of much worse evaporation.

Careful, your ignorance is showing.
I suggest you Google for "living conditions in Gaza" and start reading before you spew another ignorant talking point.
You have no idea what the Gaza Strip really is and what Israel has done to it. It's now nothing more than a bombed out and nearly uninhabitable prison for almost two million people with nothing left to lose.

Careful, your Anti-semitism is showing.
