That was weird with russian captaincy. No one wanted it.

More sloppiness by Wales. They need to put these guys to bed before they fluke something

Henderson has his engine back, but his final ball has been rusty. Did better that time.

Seen better balls on Embarrassing Bodies.

Love that from Sturridge, after a bunch of pointless pissing about with their passing, he drops deep to just take the ball off the midfielder (not sure who, maybe Dier), turns towards goal and plays it straight into the danger area to feet.

That's what creates chances. The layoff afterwards didn't work on that occasion, but thats the approach to take. no passing back and forth around outside the box, instead just trust your teammates to control the ball under pressure at least 1 in 3 times and you'll create some real chances.

Bale deserved that goal

kevthegaff

Slovakia keeper looks drunk

BoJack Horseman

Ramsay... some ball...

Bale makes it 3-0

It should be treble that.

alchemist33

So deserved

Mr.Nice Guy

3-0.

Lovely goal.

~Rebel~

And Bale strikes again!

Russia are a disgrace. 3 million people and look at what they can do. Some of Wales football :O Best performance of the tournament by far.

Jesus, he's a machine today.

Bale given all the time in the world to put that away, Russia are septic.

mansize

Great lay off by Ramsey. At least on of Arsenal's midfielders turned up this eve

Billy86

Early days, but Bale for player of the tournament (so far)?

LuckyGent88

God Russia are pathetic

Kobe248

Russia are worse than us

The worst team in the competition

murpho999

Next World Cup hosts look like the worst team in the tournament.

Well done Wales.

Easily.

At last he scores, could have had 3 or 4 tonight

Bale really is a phenomenal player. Delighted to see himself and Wales having a relatively good tournament so far.

Payet Id say so far

He's had 3 great games

mansize

So unless ENG win Wales top this group yes?

Only 3 contenders for it imo so far - Bale, Modric, and Payet. Noone else touches those guys.

Nah, Iniesta for me.

murpho999

Wonder if that defeat against England was just a bad day at the office for Wales as they are playing very well.

No. Russia are so bad look at all that space. Modric and Iniesta have been top class too.

Btw I said bale was the best player in the tournament before it started and got mocked for it

Agent Coulson

Williams, Allen, Ramsey are all proof that Wales aren't just a Bale team.

They did everything wrong, the game was there for them but then just bypassed midfield with long punts the whole time, I think because they are used to playing English players they had an inferiority complex.

Berserker

Support from the England fans is immense tonight.

siblers

2 of Bale's goals were absolute gifts, he was totally anonymous against England.

Sorry, you are dead wrong on this.

DJIMI TRARORE

England are a very poor and average team,i honestly taught they had a chance of doing something in france,boy oh boy i was wrong

Mec27

Remember Arshavin was best player in 08 and he played like 3 games.

Payet, Iniesta, Xhaka, Modric, and even Allen, who was the MOTM in their first game, would suggest not quite so easily.

BoJack Horseman

Allen comes off.

Great performance.

Did I hear Liverpool were letting him leave this summer?

mansize

Allen comes off to a tremendous reception.

Mec27

Wales have tremendous balance, some random nobody players but with Ramsey, Bale and Williams they have an amazing spine.

derm0j073

Allen put in a really good shift, super through ball for the opener.

Skid X

Bit early to be choosing a player of the tournament, to be fair.

Yep, most of our fans want him gone, crazy.

No such thing as a one man team at this level.

Really? Odd...it's not exactly a particularly prescient thought, given that he's fairly unequivocally in the top 5 european players, and is the most expensive player in the world, is the fulcrum of his team, and is really really really good...

Vincent Vega

As much as I'd like to see them lose, should we be hoping for an England win,with regards to the best 4/6 3rd place teams?

I think playing in the middle of the day didn't help either, heat can play a big factor on some teams

No we don't, he's been great this calender year. It's what we think Klopp will do that's the issue. Who knows maybe this tournament will mean a reassessment

We won't beat Italy- probably draw
