Large room, a small number of people, mostly spread out, no music... they made it more or less as hard as they could to generate any atmosphere and he still pulled it off. Took every ounce of energy he had though, I think. Still, huge respect.

[@cagedavid]

He pulls it off regularly

[@isabelskelton794]

He is a proud authentic Welshman, does he need atmosphere, no he does not.

i get why people dont like it, but football is like a billion different narratives clashing and working together, past and present, every player with their own stories, its so beautiful
