    Wales squad want visit from Michael Sheen after seeing spine-tingling speech ► www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/13/wales-football-squad-michael-sheen-speech-a-league-of-their-own

    Large room, a small number of people, mostly spread out, no music... they made it more or less as hard as they could to generate any atmosphere and he still pulled it off. Took every ounce of energy he had though, I think. Still, huge respect.
