I don't like the showy nationalism - a tattoo, wrapping yourself in a flag - that doesn't matter to me. The way to show your patriotism and commitment is to go and support or play for your team.
A lot of people still disregard something like yoga. I would have as a young player. I would have been too busy playing golf or something.
Goal scoring is a recurring theme. If you aren't scoring then you aren't going to win games. That's obvious.
I think it's unfair to criticise someone for not being Welsh, but the smaller the nation, the more patriotic you seem to be.
Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper.
