Shocking display, fair play. Needs a couple of changes. Ramsey and Mepham off. Moore and Johnson on
Hopefully it’s nerves and a slagging off at half time will knock it out of them
 
The reality of that 1st half is our boys have choked.
We need to stop staring into the headlights and get our own game on.
I can't think of any Wales player who stood out as having a strong half.

Bale has misplaced quite a lot of easy passes.
Ramsey anonymous.
James towards the end of the half had two occasions when 1v1 with the fullback and didn't try to take him on.
Wilson as a false nine has completely backfired.
 
I was worried that the USA would be a lot better than people seemed to think, but I wasn't expecting us to be that bad.

It's looking (albeit based on just 45 minutes) that this is a tournament too far for our stars of 2016. Allen injured, Bale and Ramsey look closer to 40 than their actual ages. Only Ben Davies is still at that level.

Brennan Johnson definitely needed, probably Moore too, although he's as likely to get sent off as score. I'm not sure Page has the tactical knowledge needed to turn this game around.
