Do Cymru have the most talented actor out there to not win an Oscar? Seriously, get this guy in the dressing room before the USA match. The players, country and a good deal of people from around the world are rightfully lapping this up.
Apologies as I know this has been posted elsewhere, but felt it deserved its own thread.

Sensational. Some of the hype packages that will be put together in the run up to the world cup with his soundbites will be incredible. Need to get him over to Qatar.

It's popping up with famous American celebrities commenting on it too, seems to have caught on worldwide with 171k likes. This combined with the exposure of the Wrecsam documentary and us qualifying for the World Cup AND being in a group with the USA/England, it's a branding dream for Mooney and co in terms of raising the profile of Wales. Hopefully that makes a difference in terms of funding

Gwych!

Tear in the eye, lump in the throat.
Never thought would see such a global, magnificent, and deserved, Welsh phenomenon in my lifetime.
To quote Morg from another thread
YMA O HYD, YOU SONS OF SPEED
There's a movie in there somewhere. let alone a T shirt.

He is one of those people that make you think 'Blydi hell I'm from the same country as him'.
He's a rare talent but as in most things we really do punch above our weight in producing talents like him. Best thing about him though is that in spite of his international success, he fuckin adores his country and promotes it in such a positive way that he engenders such interest in his message. He's alright is our Michael.

I appear to be becoming the odd one out on this forum both in regards to Robert Page and now this.
I actually found it cringe worthy and quite embarrassing.

No way was that off the cuff.
Mind you, I've always had what is probably an irrational dislike of Michael Sheen and we can probably put it down to jealousy, Kate Beckinsale and Rachel McAdams being among his ex-partners.

Tbh I haven't listened to Sheen's speech, did he mention other managers/players etc? |

I just feel it does a disservice to Coleman etc when people go on crediting Speed all the time for our good fortunes. |

Tbh I haven't listened to Sheen's speech, did he mention other managers/players etc? It's not meant to be a serious speech really He was asked by the presenter (bearing in mind it's a comedy panel show), to provide a rousing Welsh speech as if he was sending the Wales boys off to play against England at the World Cup. It caught on in the twitter-sphere because it was dramatic, rousing, and surprisingly good for how spontaneous it was Worth a watch for a bit of light hearted fun if you haven't seen it already |

He might as well have turned up in his Speedos and sung Club Tropicana. Everything was building up so much for this World Cup that even after the US game, down to the way we finished, I believed we were going to give it everything and go home proud, I bought into it all like a mug! I'd like us to pipe down and be strictly business for a while rather than have this feel about us that we're almost a marketing tool.
