Welsh football fans are unhappy with this Cardiff sportswear store’s Euro 2016 blunder

Anticipation is building in Wales.

In a matter of weeks, their national football team will take part in their first major tournament since God was a lad.

But as excitement grows, one proud Welshman was far from chuffed at what he discovered on the side of a Cardiff JD sports store.

Despite the WELSH capital city of Cardiff being very much in WALES, someone decided to stick up a few giant posters to promote the shirt that ENGLAND will be wearing at this summer’s tournament.

Rhydian Bowen Phillips shared the image on Twitter…

Within minutes, tweets from similarly outraged Welsh football fans were pouring in.

Having clocked up many a retweet, it appears that JD were prompted into some form of action.
