Michael Sheen gave a passionate speech to the Wales national team before their Nations League fixtures.

The actor was asked by manager Rob Page to speak to the team after he received great acclaim for a performance of a similar speech on ‘A League of Their Own’. The room was full of applause and cheers as Sheen finished the monologue and he was then presented with a bottle of whisky and a signed Wales shirt by captain Gareth Bale.

Most of the Welsh team have English accents ๐
You can tell he's an actor!
COME ON ENGLAND!!!๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
AND……… then they lose ๐
Sounds like my history teacher yapping
Braveheart 2.0
Obviously the Farsi version was more inspiring!
Paaaaaaarp ๐จ๐ฉ
This aged well ๐
So many players not Welsh, single Welsh grandparent may make you eligible to play for Wales but does not make you Welsh.
that didn't age well!
Aged well this got pasted off England and Iran
How did go you melt
This is so cringeworthy.
The Welsh did not in fact bring any sugar to Qatar.
Someone should record Michael Sheen while this video is played back to him. It may then just hit home to him that thereโs acting, and then thereโs reality. Guaranteed it would have more views. 3-0.
Aaaand theyโre out 3 games in
Wales is such an L country. 3-0
All this to get slapped 3-0 by England you can't make it up..๐๐ต
This aged wellโฆโฆHas he got a speech for the trip home ๐๐๐. A country that relied on 2 has been players (Bale and Ramsey) who are picked when not playing. Wales is part of the UK because England allows it.
Ex army Paz loves this speech
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Embarrassing…
Cringe
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ what an embarrassment
What a joke
Why was Sheen addressing the Welsh team in the foul language of the English colonialist oppressors ?
not Welsh but this is the most rousing football speech ive heard ever.. has to be shown before any Welsh international now .. brilliant ..saw him do it on that programme on tv 1st and was absolutely gob smacked.
So how did that work out for you Whales? ๐ฅด
Nice of Bale to give him BAFTA at the end. โ You were tremendous darlingโ
Michael Sheen, hates the English and this is the most cringey thing I have ever seen, even the Welsh players look uncomfortable.
OMG this is sooo embarrassingโฆ. Didnโt work either did it? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
WHAT WAS THE SCORE AGAIN.๐๐๐
Worked
Epic cringe . Notice how he had to do all that in English otherwise the people in the room wouldโve been completely lost . Oh well I guess if they had gotten past the group stage it may of meant something.
Will they be listening to this on the way home?
The little welsh man, stop talking and start doing. "Are you gonna bark all day little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?"
"Now you listen here, he is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy, now go away!"
Sons off speed ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ lost too Iran
this went well ๐คฃ
Oops, thought I was watching rise of the lycans, my bad, I'm off again
They should of subbed Sheen on for a game might of scored through open play
The damage limitation speech certainly worked. They only got beat by three.
