Lichtsteiner looks really good defensively and going forward anytime I've seen him.

Hahahahaha!!! Was just checking to see where Djourou was born as I remember something about him playing for the Swiss and noticed this.

Behrami deserves a few kicks from the opposition.

So many players shoot straight at the keeper these days, what happened to hitting it into the corner of the goal ?

Phew... good thing the Albanian medics aren't so impulsive and naive that they left their team with nine men on the pitch while the left-back was down.

Has Gokhan Inler retired from international football or has that been ruined as much as his club career by N'Golo Kanté?

This Embolo kid really has great potential

Lichtsteiner got away with that, that should have been a penalty. If we do sign him, i hope we don't see any of that.

Albania should have scored.

Awful finishing today, shoot into the corner for goodness sake.

Should have scored gashi but great save tho !!

Embolo is rumoured to be UTD bound. Another Martial?

Doesn't look anywhere near as good.

Agreed. Not a great first touch or blinding pace which are always the measure of class at a young age for me.

Wales XI (3-5-2): Ward; Chester, A. Williams, Davies; Gunter, Edwards, Allen, Ramsey, Taylor; J. Williams, Bale.

 

Slovakia XI (4-2-3-1): Kozacik; Pekarik, Skrtel, Durica, Svento; Kucka, Hrosovsky; Mak, Hamsik, Weiss; Duris.

 

Hoping for a draw, that would be the best result for England. I'm going with 1-1 but hoping for 3-3.

Quite often envious of other countries' anthems.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, it's sad to see that the violence is spiralling out of control, local French thugs, Russian ultras and England fans all involved in street fighting, I think we get a bad rap, but it appears that thugs are queuing up to knock seven shades of pi** out of our fans, I'd forgotten how hated we'd become. Anyway, back to the football, I think Wales will win this one.

Two decent matches so far.

Just read highly organised Russian group attacked English who wouldn't engage and so the Russians made chase, awful.

Yes, enjoyable.

Come on Wales.

There is something special about the supporters of a small country bellowing their national anthem. The Welsh supporters did alright too :-)

And who would have thought Skrtel is the prettiest of the Slovakia team!

What a run that was by Hamsik, great clearance on the line.

Wales need to calm down, they have started far too erratically.
