The Size of Cymru

VAR, the DDR and The Curse of Split

Listen Later

The Size of Cymru panel goes back to Split to discuss the Croatian curtain raiser with Daniela Rogulj and ask whether we played with our hearts or just our broad head. We look back on the Latvia match, go back to the DDR to hear about the only time a club from Wales played in the German Democratic Republic, and we also speak to Angharad Davies in Madrid about the inner workings of VAR.
