OK another huge day for Welsh football!! Wales V Russia KO 8pm ITV Wales & ITV4 (England) England V Slovakia KO 8pm, ITV England and ITV hub Best result; Wales win England draw Worst result; Wales loose England draw To qualify for the knockouts a draw should see us through. But with it all to play for the Russians won't be a walk over. Russia have a hight advantage over Wales so expect Russia to try and hurt us with set pieces. It's set to be a nervous game all round with the group being so open. My prediction Wales win 2-1 England win 2-0 Group B England Wales Slovakia Russia
Given the way the last 16 draw looks our best result tonight would be an England win and a Welsh win as we'd play the runners up of group F.
What are the permutations for qualification? England will qualify with a point and will top the group for certain with victory. Wales will qualify with a win, and a draw will be enough if England do not lose; in the case of an English defeat and a Welsh draw, Wales would be third behind England on head-to-head record and would hope their four points would suffice to be one of the four best third-placed teams. Slovakia will qualify with a win and will finish second with a draw if Russia prevail. However, Slovakia would definitely be eliminated in fourth spot if they lose and Russia win. Russia require a victory to have any chance of progress. They can come second if they win and England lose, in which case the two teams would be split on overall goal difference or overall goals scored (or, if still equal, the disciplinary rankings after the third set of matches; or, after that, the coefficient rankings in which England would have the advantage) Per the Uefa website
would prefer to see ben davies go to left back instead of taylor and james Collins come in if he persists in playing five at the bac, otherwise we are going to get murdered in the air
Are we the only ones who see how poor Taylor is? As for the game I posted elsewhere that Coleman has to go for it. I wasn't encouraged by Ashley Williams's comment "We have a game plan and we know we only need a draw". I think that's playing with fire. Give most teams at this tournament time on the ball and you'll lose - or at least run the risk of losing. Let's get at them and go for the win.
if he goes for the defend for ninety minutes and hope bale scores a flukey free kick then its going to get painfull
I agree Davies needs to play left back he's far more attacking than Taylor. We have the ability to take the game to the Russians with Joe, Williams, Ramsey and Bale.
I hope you smash the ****ers. The tournament doesn't need their fans, ruining any more of the tournament.
