    Hopefully Wales win because the BBC brought out James Nesbitt for the start of their coverage and I can't stand the ****er and hope to not have to see or hear him again in the tournament.

    I expect a tight local derby with lots of huff and puff but short on quality. Wales by one.

    A brexit referee (English) refereeing a game between a Brexit country and an anti-Brexit country. :P

    Don't agree with Richie that this might go to penalties. I think Wales will win comfortably enough.

    NI now stands for Not In, even though they wanted to be.

    It will probably be the same for the game and the back of the net for them.
