The Football Association of Wales publicly called out BBC Radio Wales with a cutting response to a tweet that sparked anger among some Welsh football supporters.

The Welsh station asked listeners "Are we all English now?" on Wednesday morning after England advanced to the World Cup quarter-finals with a dramatic penalty shootout win over Colombia on Tuesday night. It means Gareth Southgate's side will next come up against Sweden in Saturday's quarter final in Russia.

The tweet was promoting a phone-in on the subject, and prompted plenty of negative reaction on social media.

And the FAW also took issue, posting a series of face palm emojis before highlighting the fact Wales Women actually play England next month for a place at the World Cup and simply stating: "We're still Welsh, are you?"

It's safe to say the FAW stance has been well received.

It prompted BBC Radio Wales to remove the tweet and issue an apology to listeners, saying: "Hands up - we got the World Cup tweet wrong. We've now deleted it."

Wales Women face the Lionesses at Newport's Rodney Parade on Friday, August 31.

If Wales beat England at home that night, then they are in the World Cup finals in France next year.

Tickets for the match (kick-off 7.45pm) go on sale at 10am on July 12.
