The Wales v Engerland & Euro 2016 Thread

This thread should be a sticky, if a Supermod could sort it? @Minxy @brb

From now until the Summer let the banter commence.

Euro 2016 draw: England to face Wales in France
Wales and England will meet at Euro 2016 after being drawn together in Group B for next summer's finals in France.

Russia and Slovakia are the other teams in their group.

European Championship debutants Northern Ireland are in Group C with world champions Germany, Poland and Ukraine.

The Republic of Ireland are up against top-ranked side Belgium, Italy and Sweden in Group E.

Wales' match against England is the second game for both countries in their group, in Lens on Thursday, 16 June.

This is Wales' first tournament appearance in 58 years, and boss Chris Coleman had said he wanted to avoid England because it would be "viewed as a battle of Britain" and a "distraction".

But his fears were realised early on in the draw, with the top seeds drawn first - followed by the bottom seeds.

And employers may have to brace themselves for a lot of leave requests on Thursday, 16 June because England's meeting with Wales is a 14:00 GMT kick-off.

The winners of Group B will face a third-placed team in the last 16, while the runners-up will face the team who finish second in a group comprising Portugal, Iceland, Austria and Hungary.

Easy draw for England. Only Russia who could pose any level of challenge.

 

flights and hotels already booked- i am out there for 6 days. applying for tickets on Monday - can't wait

 

FFS!!! Wales v England on a Thursday night. Was hoping it would have been on a Saturday

 

It will make our victory all the more sweeter

 

I'm hoping that everywhere closes and the whole nation is watching.

 

And work is banned for Friday

 

Someone on our forum seems to think it is a Thursday afternoon

 

Kick off is 200 GMT as far as I know

 

Why the fck do we always get the easy team at the end? It always spoils the idea of thrashing them, knowing we'll be out of the competition by then!

 

Good

 

It's ridiculous that it's not a Saturday. I'd have gone out for that.

 

You say that now, but wait another 50 years when you're in another tournament, then you'll know what that feels like

 

What fun,knocking the Saes bastards out of the Rugby World Cup this year and the Euros next year

 

Wales have a football team?

Who knew...

 

Ian Rush & Joey Jones are both Welsh

 

Wales need to be taken seriously. They qualified, and against some decent sides. However, England should have too much for them.

Revenge!! For the cheeky bastards tonking us at the RWC.

 

Bale (Taffs) will do a Scotchland and lose all their games

Englishland will win all games and be crowned champions*
















*This is a lie as Englishland are not that good, but still better than the Bale (Taffs)

 

Everyone thought the same about Belgium too
