Slovakia v England and Russia v Wales 8 PM on ITV, ITV4, RTE 2, TV3 (phew)

I take it its best 3rd place that gets them through in even that they lose.

Russia are making Allen look like Maradona!

PeterTheEighth

Another goal and I'd say the Russians will pack it in altogether.

Clyne doing very well. Definitely think he's a better defender than Walker, and his attacking game came on for Liverpool at the end of the season, and he seems to be looking good going forward again tonight.

Henderson doing brightly, but lacking that extra bit of quality so far. Dier is such a quietly efficient player. Big fan of his. Would never have predicted him starting in midfield for England a year or so ago.

Think he allowed the advantage so couldn't go back.

Allen with a huge run straight through the middle too.

Mr.Nice Guy

This Wales/Russia game is great entertainment.

Not necessarily. Four points will probably be enough. On the other hand, if they win(and Wales stay in front) then four points will definitely be enough for us, if we pull off a minor miracle against Italy. All together now... Ingerland Ingerland Ingerland....":D

Edit - What are the odds on Dunphy comparing us to Wales at half time ? See what can be done ...etc, etc.

Just home and popped on the TV and watched the replay

Should have been Yellow for Bale

But holy-cow 2-0

Henderson good.
Clyne good.
Lallana good.

I'm not entirely sure what Wilshere offers in this team at all.

The Backwards Man

If some of them Russians were at Stalingrad we'd all be speaking German now.

The other match looks boring when I switch over to see the score.

Russian coach will be c!aiming asylum at the nearest western embassy.

They have 4 points at the moment....I believe it's expected that any 3rd placed team on 4 points will find themselves in the top 4 3rd placers, and will continue into the next round.

The LFC contingent playing quite well, esp Clyne who is much better than Walker, Wilshire is the weak link in the middle. Wales must be favourites to win Euro 2016

LFC for the PL title next season. You heard it here first!

Jordan Henderson should never be taking a teams corners.

England have four points. Surely that would be enough for a strong third place finish?

Switched over to the Wales game. Far more entertaining looking.

Sturridge looking much more confident and assured on the ball than he had been for us over the last wee while. Looks back to his old self...even looks quick again.

Bret Hart

England are awful to watch.

Good God Russia are rotten.

They'll be early hosts to go out next world cup. For such a massive country they have absolutely no youngsters. If only they go prepare for football tournaments as good as their thugs who meticulously prepared for battle credit where due

When you compare their population to Iceland it really puts them into perspective.

RobertKK

Something for the Russian authorities to listen to.

Lets hope that continues...

Jeez the England managers position really is a poison chalice unless your called Alf Ramsey and the year is 1966. Cant be always the managers fault.

Mr.Nice Guy

This is a nightmare for Russia. They need 3 goals to stay in the tournament and will have to push on, but that will leave them vulnerable at the back, and with 34 year old Berezutski and 36 year old ignashevich at centre-back, Bale is going to tear these guys to shreds.

rob316

Lost count the amount of times wilshere has lost the ball.

Skid X

Odd to see football on RTE2, TV3, ITV, ITV Wales, ITV2 and ITV4 at the same time.

ITV3 should show a split screen of the two games, for completeness.

BoJack Horseman

Wales sitting back now & letting Russia come onto them.

Russia hasn't got any real incision though.

The Welsh fans in fine voice...as you'd expect

I'd usually be the first to knock them but I think they have been as impressive as any other team in the tournament to date.

Any of us unfortunate enough to have seen him do the same for Liverpool regularly can attest to this.

I agree. Been excellent so far tonight. Worried that it is still 0-0. Slovakia will have a chance at some stage during the 90 mins.

So you can't count to ten .

I love Gareth Bale, will you please just leave Madrid for United...

Harry Palmr

I'd say Wilshire will be lucky to start the 2nd half with Rooney on the bench, Hamsik is playing more as a defender

Any manager can make a bad decision. Woy seems to do it repeatedly, especially on the big stage.

Welsh Megaman

Great first half performance from Ramsey.

Mr.Nice Guy

Half-time. Great performance by Wales so far.

They really are brilliant. Great to hear fans singing in grounds. Such a rare thing nowadays...


...but wait??? is it possible that most of these fans are not stuffed into bangor or TNS ground at the weekend or have never been at at a LOW match?? Boooooooo-urns - booooooo-urns :P :pac:

~Rebel~

There's such a strong narrative around Wilshire - "he doesn't lose the ball", "our most dynamic attacker", "best passer in the country"....is any of it even close to being true? He's a decent player, but to be honest he's awfully slow, and even just on the ball it looks like he can't quite get his legs to do what he wants them to. When there's a bit of chaos around him in the opposition half, he looks a bit lost.

I actually much prefer him in that deep playmaking role Roy has used him in in the past, where he has more time to look up and pick a pass, with the field in front of him.

Decent by England so far, should be a goal up on play.
