Euro 2016 - Group B - Russia vs Slovakia, 2pm, RTE & BBC

Mr.Nice Guy

Russia vs Slovakia

2:00pm Wednesday 15th June
Stade Pierre-Mauroy

Teams (via The Guardian):

Russia (4-2-3-1) Akinfeev; Smolnikov, V Berezutski, Ignashevich, Schennikov; Golovin, Neustadter; Kolkorin, Shatov, Smolov; Dzyuba.

Slovakia (4-3-3) Kozaczik; Pekarik, Skrtel, Durica, Hubocan; Kucka, Pecovsky, Hamsik; Mak, Duda, Weiss.


Both sides are searching for their first win. Let's hope it's the action on the pitch that grabs the headlines this time.

I'll go for a 2-0 Russia win.

BoJack Horseman

Yeah I'm going with Russia too.

While Slovakia were competitive against Wales, they are more or less a 1-man team.
Russia bent, but did not break against England.... they are unlikely to be as bad again.

- 1-0 to Ivan.
- Skittles to be sent off.
- The 'suspendedidly disqualified' side to progress to the next round.

Chardee MacDennis

reckon Slovakia could nick this. 2-1

A nice surprise. Until I saw this post I thought all the 2pm kick-offs were over and there were only 2 games a day from now on

Superhorse

Skittles to be sent off. The guys a liability.

Harry Palmr

Fancy Slovakia here - Hamsik and Skrtel to score and 50p head to get sent off!

pajor

4 yellow cards for Slovakia, with another on the bench. They'll need to be careful.

Brian Kerr on a Wednesday afternoon. I approve.

BoJack Horseman

F*cking hate short corners.

no one knows what to do with them.

Slovakia much the better side from their respective opening games. They should win, though a draw/Russia win is a better result for England..

Sad that he's stuck doing these while Ronnie Whelan gets the big games.

I think BBC 5 Live have it. Not sure about Irish radio. You may need to install 'hola' which is an extension for Chrome.

a round of group games takes four days with three games a day. There was only one game on the first day, so two yesterday completed it.

Thanks chief will look into that now.

Mr.Nice Guy

Anyone else miss Pavlyuchenko?

irishguitarlad

Awful game.

El Reich

You'd have to think things are looking bright for Wales.

Neither team up to much so far.

Agent Coulson

I wish some of those Russian hooligans would punch Mark Lawrenson in the face to shut him up!

Bobby Baccala

Who are the commentators on 5 live? They're very good imo. Being able to switch audio on BBC is handy.

Mark Lawrenson is an unbearably miserable git. I'm pretty sure he actually hates football.

Nerdlingr

Draw would be a good result for us - think Slovakia might sneak this though.

Harry Palmr

Slovakia score.

Bobby Baccala

Great finish

irishguitarlad

Just a pity it's only possible on the SD stream.

vicwatson

Oh yes

That_Guy

They didn't Weiss up to him at all there.....

Mars Bar

Excellent!

Agent Coulson

HalloweenJack

Hamsik and Weiss were just brilliant there.

dastardly00

Great ball through and super control and finish from Weiss.
Terrible defending from the Russian defenders though.

Russia's coach seems on the edge of a breakdown.

Couldn't get it to work via Hola

Any other links lads? No worries if not

Peist2007

Russia are crap.

That_Guy

I'm not that surprised that Russia are behind. They only seem to know how to attack.....

mansize

He was rocking forward and back and had an awful look on his face, even before the game started. I'd swear he was about to have a heart attack.

Now I think it's just a matter of time..

LuckyGent88

Classy strike

mansize

That's 2!!! Oh happy days
