The internet reacts to Wales’ historic qualification for Euro 2016 despite 2-0 defeat

Fairytale stuff...

Ben Kenyon

Wales is going absolutely crazy right now.

Chris Coleman’s men made history qualifying for their first ever European tournament – and indeed first major competition since 1958 – despite losing 2-0 to Bosnia Herzegovina.

The Welsh have played heroically during an inspired Euro 2016 qualifying campaign which has seen them lost just one game in nine.

Wales’ talisman Gareth Bale could not stop them slumping to their first defeat of the Euro 2016campaign, but it didn’t matter as Cyprus pulled off a shock 2-1 win over Israel, guaranteeing them automatic qualification next summer.

Some of the internet reaction was brilliant.

There was dancing…

There was bombast…

There was Chris Coleman going bonkers…

And the rest…
