The front three rotate very well, and sitting midfielders Joe Allen and David Edwards are both keen to push up. However, there were a few occasions against Slovakia when Allen got it wrong and left the back four exposed. Wales are a very strong unit, but on the whole, England’s squad is better. It will be important for Roy Hodgson’s men to isolate their defenders and disrupt their shape and organisation. The best way to do this will be with width. Full backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose will push forward and occupy Wales’ wing backs, pushing them back and leaving them short in midfield. Then it’ll be up to Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling to take advantage and occupy the spaces between the back three, stretching the defence. This should allow Harry Kane to see plenty of the ball, but he must take his chances. VERDICT: England win. KEY STAT: This is the 102nd time England and Wales have played, but the first at a major tournament. BIG MATCH BET: Ramsey has been joining Bale in winding up England and he can be as big a nuisance on the pitch. The Arsenal man is 11-2 to score. please log in to view this image Possible Starting Xl's please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Latest odds England 3/5 Wales 6/1 Draw 16/5 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
That 'girl' is Katherine Jenkins and I wouldn't kick her out of bed!! The pub awaits!!!! COME ON ENGLAND!!!
Der de der Der de der Der de der, der de der na na Der de der Der de der Der de der, der de der na na Der de der Der de (^) der And we all love in ger Lund, And so on. What a song. What we need is more of a passionate 'cry' song, à la 'come on you R's'. International football chants are not as good as club ones.
Stuck working in an office full of peeps who have absolutely no interest in football, big GAA (hurling) county, and certainly no interest in this game......only outlet is going to be the beeb text until i can catch up on the highlights later.... C'mon England.....
Start with a high tempo please lads. Press everywhere and then try to control possession once it settles.
Same team, hope they play like they did in the first half against Russia. We have the better players but are we the better 'team'?...
I do like that stadium in Lens, a proper football stadium with a great atmosphere, TF take note please...
