    It's finally here! The Return of the China Cup

    After the thrills of last year's inaugural event featuring the hosts, Iceland, Chile and Croatia it's no surprise that the China Cup is back to thrill us all.

    Joining the People's Republic this time are Uruguay, Czech Republic and Gareth Bale's Ryan Giggs' Wales for the new manager's debut games.

    All the details in this link,
    keep it here for all your Red Hot China Cup Chat throughout the rest of the week.

      Well that's very misleading.

        Just imagine it perched on top of Chris Gunter's head, eh?

            If I was a Bodin, I wouldn't wear 13.

                0-2 - Bale again on 21 minutes.

                He's certainly living up to his billing there.

                  Should have been three as well, two unmarked headers from a corner off target just before.

                    That's pretty much a full strength side there. Ramsay and Prince Hal presumably injured.

                      Bale's performance reminding me of Brian Glover in 'Kes' so far.

                        Ramsey's having a "minor procedure" over the international break. There have been a few other pull outs - Taylor and Ledley being the most notable ones.

                          Bale apparently requires one more goal to topple Ian Rush as Wales' record scorer.

                            Nifty finish by Vokes for 0-3.

                              I'm not sure China are any good, you know.

                                You might have a point.

                                Good finish for debut/birthday-boy Wilson following further defensive howlers - 0-4 at h/t.

                                    BBC Wales, online and iPlayer.

                                      Giggs Out!

                                      Early days of course but I'll be delighted if Giggs proves me wrong.

                                        This was Steve Staunton's first game in charge

                                          It's weird to think that one of those scorers is dead.

                                            If Wales don't spend the second half trying to set up Chris Gunter then Giggs has to walk.

                                              I'm hoping that if we get a penalty, Bodin is specifically brought on to convert it as catharsis.

                                                A Vokes hat trick would be delicious.

                                                  0-5 - Vokes again. Doubt it'll go, but what's Wales' record victory?
