Look, we’re not saying Wales should be expelled from Euro 2016 for this, but they’re on thin ice.
For the first time in 58 years, the principality country will be competing in a major tournament, and with a group that features perennial underachievers England, the far from spectacular Russia and a Slovakia team that lost at home to Belarus in qualifying.
By all means, the Welsh have an excellent chance of (at the very least) progressing out of their group – especially now that the expansion of the tournament from 16 to 24 teams means that some third-placed teams will make it through to the knockout stages.
In fact, seeing Gareth Bale win his second Champions League medal for Real Madrid on Saturday inspired some Welsh fans to start dreaming of Euro 2016 glory.

Regardless of the outcome, this summer’s European Championships will live long in the memory of Welsh supporters and players alike.
The footage will no doubt be revisited time and time again, either as fans of the future look back at the golden generation’s first appearance at a major tournament or as a lament of what could have been.
So you might think that all the players would want to be looking their best as their images are immortalised in Welsh history, but you’d think wrong.
Gareth Bale’s manbun look is certainly not for everybody, but Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has done his international teammate a favour by making sure the Real Madrid forward no longer has the worst hair in the Welsh team.
In the wake of the confirmation of Wales’ 23-man squad for France this summer, Ramsey shared a first look at his new bleached hair. In case you hadn’t guessed by now, we’re not fans.

The reaction was…mixed.

Why does Aaron Ramsey look like he's about to unwittingly become a love interest for Pepe Le Pew? pic.twitter.com/FgTWwkFyvV

Ramsey took Nasri's no.8 and now he's taken his questionable hairstyle choice.

generally I'm open to anything a person wants to do with their hair but whoever told Aaron Ramsey to go blonde should be imprisoned
