It's France not Mexico.

Yes. Better for those hunting third place if the team third in England's group have 3 points instead of 4.

Christ.

I'm not just talking about tonight, but in general I don't see what Henderson offers Liverpool that Allen does not.
But, if he moves on I'm sure Joe will do well enough.

He'd fit Leicester nicely if the lose Kante.

The game was played in northern France. Weather wasn't a factor.

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

The majority of fans definitely wanted him gone this season.

I hate this approach of throwing on all your strikers...England now with Rooney, Kane, and Vardy all up top. I just don't think it works...they get in each others way as much as anything.

Wales totally taking the p1ss out of Russia.

BoJack Horseman

Too easy for wales... knocking it about like a training session.
The Russians are moving at walking pace.

Bale comes off to acclaim.

Slovakia have just decided to park two buses and hope

England just gone into panic mode and have lost their composure. Just trying to shoot from any where.

Why is the match on ITV and itv2 - it seems to be the same broadcast?

ITV4 is nationwide and not region split and because England and Wales are playing they have England on ITV1 everywhere apart from Wales with the Wales game on ITV4.

So for Wales they put the England game on ITV2 so they can see both games there as well.

If ITV4 was region split then it would have been simple

Jesus I've never seen something like that, Wales taking the piss out of russia sauntering around with the ball, russian lads barely moving.

Welsh Megaman

Sterling performance from Bale tonight - the boyo done good.

Russia have been well and truly humbled tonight.

The Talking Bread

Rooney has had a good tournament, done what has been asked of him in the position. Love to see him back with that pace of 6/7 years ago.

No... just 30-odd consecutive passes to the usual cheers with Russians standing around like sweaty statues.

Just passing it around for a couple of minutes the Russians couldn't get near the ball.

Hey... try this.
Turn over to RTE2, watch it for five minutes, then quickly change to TV3.

I went running around looking for my glasses, and I dont wear glasses!! The beauty of HD.

I Gareth Bale.

Reckon it'll work though.When England are right around the box, they generally have 2 or 3 guys practically on top of each other...what happens if the ball finds one of them? he's got his own man to deal with, as well as a half dozen Slovakians. Shooting from outside the box, their own players are obstacles just as much as the defenders. Looks like any sort of a plan has gone out the window now.


<edit> looks like they're finally starting to give each other a little more space in there now.

Make you feel better about Ireland wouldn't it?! :pac:

The Talking Bread

Great to see Aaron Ramsey having a top tournament. Gets extremely unfair criticism and I imagine that has a huge impact on his confidence. Seems to love playing for his country.

Irish_rat

So who will Wales potentially play? Didnt buy the wallchart

We just have to beat Italy and get 4 points. That will finish in Top 4 of the Third place teams. No need to be always worrying about other results.

"we've all footballers out there at the moment..." well you wouldn't want ballet dancers now would you Glen...

Christ I love the Welsh anthem!!!

Oof, lovely bit of play from Hendo, deserved better from Kane.

Yea, I asked about. Most fans said he wasn't good enough. The Liverpool Echo also did a poll a few months ago - 63% of fans wanted him gone - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-allen-liverpool-should-keep-11136084

Yeah, they've brought so much to this tournament.

They certainly deserve a World Cup all of their own.

Yeah, I think Coleman takes off the shackles and lets him play. No pressure on him either when he plays for Wales, in comparison to the constant expectation of silverware at Arsenal.

I find the denizens of the echo a very cranky bunch, most of the would happily see FSG sell the club to China or the UAE

Mr.Nice Guy

Switching over to the England game to see if there's a late goal.

Could be the third place team in the NI group, if I remember correctly.

England doesn't seem to have a Game plan. Just hoping for some individual brilliance...

Welsh Megaman

Great performance from Wales tonight - they've done us proud

It is now standard for the cameras to focus on a blubbering Welsh fan.

Who actually cares in fairness. They are creating a magnificent atmosphere. Fans of the tournament so far.

This bitterness from folks going on about event junkies is worse.
