Wales vs Slovakia

[61dicksey]

Wtf was Ramsey doing!! Bale set it up on a plate to seal the deal and he ****'s around.

Typical Arsenal player trying to walk it into the net.

[pharaoh]

Maybe it's my hatred of Arsenal. But in my mind Ramsey thinks he's better than he is because he's an Arsenal player.

As for Skirtel, typical bin dipping slag.

Well done Wales - glad you won.

Happy Wales won but not impressed by Ramsey, Skrtel looks finished, I can't see him at Scousers next year.

[Puff Daddy]

That result pursue the pressure on England

[OFT]

.At 1-1 I thought they were going to get beat,
Well done Wales

[pharaoh]

That result pursue the pressure on England

England should beat both on this form.

Slovakia were poor but Wales had luck on thier side.

"Typical Arsenal" was what I said to that

[The Old Man of Storr]

That's the first one out of the way - I think England will be far too good for us though .

They certainly did and that final goal typified it - a player tries to dribble, loses it but the ball falls to a team mate who hits the ball off his shin and somehow finds its way into the net. However in tournament football luck is more important than playing well and why the eventual winners (not Wales obviously) who despite being a decent team will at some point have a large slice of luck.

I'm not so sure. England will play the better football for sure but Wales will hang in there, keep it tight and one moment of brilliance from Bale or a bit of luck and they could win it.

Slovakia walked through the Welsh defence a few times , England are a far better side than Slovakia , I can see us being beat at least 3-0 .
Ramsey , Allen , Williams and Bale will have to be on the very top of their game and England to be poor if we are to stand a chance of a draw I fear .

[Clucking Bell]

........ England to be poor if we are to stand a chance of a draw I fear .

You can pretty much rely on England being poor once a tournament starts. I'm fully embracing my half-Welshness for the duration

Wales are a better side than Russia yet England never beat Russia. Yes it could happen that England play like today except put the ball away and win easily but it could also happen that Wales win or draw. This is impossible to know what will happen and part of the fun of football.

I'd also add that Wales will be extremely pumped up and motivated for this one. Far more so than England will be. Wales just need to make sure that doesn't over flow into sending(s) off, etc.

This game isn't a given for England, especially as (sadly) they aren't world beaters.

[il_martello_di_genovesi]

Worst Slovakia performance in 2 years...and even then had enough of the ball and chances to get a result.

Ben Davies is the man to thank...Hamsik scores and I can't see how Slovakia don't win the game.

[poplargeezer]

Wonder why Collins wasn't picked.

Know him and Coleman had a falling out a year or two back.

Think his command in the back 4 and danger at set plays would have got him in.

Wales weaker without him

[Jumby]

Slovakia are far better than many think, it was a magnificent achievement from Wales to win, they've done the country proud and can rightly go into the England game with confidence, I don't think we'll win but we can definitely draw.

England look so fragile when something goes wrong, straight after the equaliser the Russians could have scored again. Hodgson doesn't know his best team, with the players he has available that is poor.
