He wasn't quite as all over the place as he was in the Slovakia match, today that was Ramsey popping up in just about every position. Allen's not long back from injury, so its good to see he lasted, although he looked tired for the last ten minutes. He does have beautiful hair.Quote:

Speaking as a proud Welshman, I thought England were excellent. They played without fear and chased the win throughout. They deserved it just because of that.
I think that young England team will be a threat to anyone in the tournament.
That was funny seeing Ronaldo nearly crying, missed numerous chances, penalty and disallowed goal. ;D
Spain v Italy, now that is a match to really want to watch. Now the real games start.
Having looked at the potential opponents for Wales and England, I'm thinking finishing second might actually be a decent result. To my mind, it looks like Iceland or Hungary as opponents for England, while Turkey now seem most likely as Wales' opposition, with Northern Ireland also a possibility.
All quiet in terms of England fans at the moment, but I'm pretty happy with Wales' performance, now its all about keeping up the momentum, and getting into the Quarter Finals.
The only issue finishing second is that France, Italy, Spain, are on our side of the group.Quote:

Edit - looks like we'll be getting Iceland lol. They'll do.
Ronaldo is almost crying. ;DQuote:

Zlatan can retire at Man Utd.
I am happy we have avoided Northern Ireland.
Brilliant win for the Irish. Chelsea is looking at that Italian CB to replace John Terry.Quote:

The Northern Irish are that good you have to worry about them?
No but Iceland is easier than a home nation team as they tend to try harder like the welsh did.Quote:

All the matches are very tight and tense.
Yes I think we'll see very few goals in the knockout stages all games so far could have gone either way and it's been pens or one moment that's settled it
If England can't get past a team like Iceland in major knockout format then we have a serious problem and I will not be upset in any way at all. Just angry
Funnily enough if we meet France I'd quite fancy us
France are losing to Rep of Ireland, which is funny.Quote:

They are quality and must be favourites.Quote:

Wales are undefeated in the last three games against Belgium...although I had to admit they looked very good. Hungary didn't have a solid foundation though.Quote:

We should have been on that side of the draw. :mad:Quote:

I can not believe this. Heart is a wanker and should never be on that pitch after letting Bales free kick in.
We better turn this around in the second half!
What, so you could avoid all these big teams like ICELAND!!! ;D;D;DQuote:

On paper you compare the big names of Spain against a fairly average Italy side, albeit one with some good team spirit and work ethic, and Spain would win more than they lose IMO.Quote:
