Diame got a huge stroke of luck as his attempt to flick the ball into the box flew into the net

Wales Euro 2016 dream documentary lights up the big screen and should be compulsory viewing for England’s under-achieving footballers.

A stunning film of Wales’ Euro 2016 heroics that opened this week should be compulsory viewing for England’s under-achieving footballers.
Don’t Take Me Home, which had its premiere in Leicester Square, graphically conveys the togetherness throughout the Welsh squad and backroom staff that was so utterly absent from England’s woeful performances in France.
Wales manager Chris Coleman, who was accompanied by a number of his players, introduced the film, by saying: ‘Talent is not enough, the icing on the cake is the mentality.’

The open-door attitude of the Welsh at their base in Brittany, embracing the Euro adventure as a unit and bonding with their fans, came across vividly in behind-the-scenes footage that included the squad’s delirious reaction to England’s humiliating defeat by Iceland.
The Welsh approach was a stark contrast to the permanent guards on the door at England’s hotel base in Chantilly and the unwelcome feeling epitomised by the snarling presence of assistant coach Gary Neville with his ‘don’t give them anything’ approach to the media — which the FA have promised to change.
