GaelicFox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Some interesting facts • It will be the 102nd time that England and Wales have played each other, although this is the first instance of them facing off in the finals of a major tournament. o Wales have failed to beat England in seven of their last eight attempts (W1, D1, L6); their most recent win against their neighbours came back in May 1984, a 1-0 victory in Wrexham. o This is only the second time England are facing another country from the United Kingdom in a major tournament, after beating Scotland 2-0 at Euro 1996. o The Three Lions have played in Lens once before, securing a 2-0 victory over Colombia in the Stade Bollaert-Delelis during the 1998 World Cup. o Wales have only scored twice across their last eight meetings with England; failing to get on the scoresheet in the last four matches played against their neighbours. o Mark Hughes is the last Welsh player to score against England; it was in May 1984 (1-0). o England have scored at least once in six of their last seven attempts versus the Dragons, but never more than twice in this run, the last time they scored three or more was in 1978 (3-1 in Cardiff). o Wales have conceded in each of their last five games (including friendlies), their worst run of conceding since March 2013 (11). o England have failed to score more than once in 13 of their last 14 matches at a major tournament (World Cup and EURO finals). o England mustered nine shots against Russia in the first-half, their most in a EURO finals match in the opening 45 minutes since 2004 (11 v Croatia). o At 25y 293d, England’s starting 11 against Russia was their second-youngest ever at a major finals after the 2002 World Cup clash with Sweden (25y 206d). o Ramsey has had a hand in three goals in his last three games for Wales (two goals, one assist). o Jamie Vardy has scored in three of his last four appearances for the Three Lions. o Gareth Bale has scored 14 of the 31 Wales goals under Chris Coleman since he took charge of his first game in February 2012 (45%). o Wayne Rooney has scored in seven of his last eight competitive appearances for England.
the_tank Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Would love wales to win would love a draw Would support the team and manager if they lost
the_tank Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 England fans have the 'big club' mentality Leicester fans hate, which is wierd considering their record.
foxes21 Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 england are basically like spurs fans, thinking they are bigger than they actually are. when in reality they have won fuch all in about 100 years
TheSomersetFox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 If Vardy doesn't start I'll be supporting Wales sad
AKCJ Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 england are basically like spurs fans, thinking they are bigger than they actually are. when in reality they have won fuch all in about 100 years Hardly. We expect to win our group of Slovakia, Russia and Wales. That's about it. We have a squad full of players who have had excellent seasons for top Premier League clubs. We expect moderate levels of success.
m4DD0gg Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Depends which team woy picks, if its a sensible team then a comfortable win. If its one of his abortions with a side order of bizarre subs then it will play into Wales hands. Plus we dont have a player even close to Bale's standard and he is capable of anything. We have a squad full of players who have had excellent seasons for top Premier League clubs. We expect moderate levels of success. Yup yup we do, shame that the ones who had a shit season were on the pitch on saturday.
Socks Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Gotta be Vards & sturridge for Kane & Sterling thats all id change
Dames Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Can't see England winning this. Might be eating my words tomorrow but the manager, players or system do not inspire any belief. 2010-Now has been absolutely dire being an England supporter.
Dr The Singh Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 England will win convincingly!!! Rooney to score the first, Kane to bring us 2 nil up
SheppyFox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Hope both teams play at their absolute best tomorrow, humble Bale a bit!
Vlad the Fox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Anyone remember the likely lads episode where they were trying to avoid the England v Hungary result until the highlights were on late at night? That will be me, I was going to finish work but I've told my kids I'll record it then we'll watch it when we they get back from school. Which means ive got to to spend the last couple of hours working trying to avoid the score or anyone who will let it slip.
Legend_in_blue Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 I'm surprised by the confidence in this thread. I think we're pretty hopeless. Can't see past a draw at best.
Mark_w Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 andy king last minute winner, 89 minutes of the most boring football you ever did watch in the meantime I'd take that.
Jimothy Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Itv reporting we looks like we're going with same team as Russia. Oh wonderful, I'm not sure I can be arsed to get excited by that shower of shite. Did anyone hear Wilshere's comments regarding Kane taking corners. He said the reason was because he has a special technique that makes the ball go all over the place. Firstly I'm not sure you want corners go all over the place, you want them in the danger zone. Secondly that special technique seems to shanking them out for a ****ing throw in every time. I swear to god with that shit team, the shit subs and that overhyped greedy **** taking corners, Hodgson and the team are just trolling us by giving it the worst possible go at doing anything decent at the tournament.
Nalis Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 England 4-0 Wales Cue English euphoria followed by a dour draw v Slovakia whilst Wales power past Russia to top the group.
Finnegan Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Hope both teams play at their absolute best tomorrow, humble Bale a bit! You know he was joking, right?
Guest Col city fan Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Bollox to Wales. They are tin pot. It's time for England to shine. Fook nerves, fook Hodgson and his daftness..We have the best players which will see us through.
Donut Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Wales are basically crap. The rivalry has been built up in the media, but it doesnt change the fact that Wales are crap. So its up to England to show the extra ability they have and just get the game won.
Bert Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 Wales aren't crap. They're average and they've done well To qualify, they've one world class player more than us that evens things out slightly but overall and man for man we have more than enough, or at least should have to beat these. We are better than average. Law of averages says we should beat them but you never know in football.
ScouseFox Posted 15 June 2016 Posted 15 June 2016 so excited for this. out for breakfast at 9 and straight on the bevs with the #lads. usually nervous before a big game but this one's a formality so not even got that "god imagine if we lose" feeling. just looking forward to celebrating already.
