Today’s first Euro 2016 match is only the second British home nations clash at a major tournament, as England take on Wales in Group B.

The two sides have a long history on the international stage, having played each other 102 times, with England winning 66 times to Wales’ 14 victories, the last of which came in 1984.

Chris Coleman’s Wales go into the match on the back of a confidence building 2-1 win against Slovakia, where an impressive eight of their 11 goal attempts were on target.

In contrast England’s confidence took a knock after they conceded in injury time in their 1-1 draw with Russia. Roy Hodgson’s team will have to be more clinical if they are to beat Wales after seeing two thirds of their 15 goal attempts against Russia fail to hit the target.

A performance to rival that of their only previous home nations major tournament tie, when they beat Scotland in Euro 96, may be needed if England is to get the better of their noisy neighbours.

    good finish but the dive by Ali should be penalised.

    Great touch from Alli.

    Imagine if that was Sterling taking that chance...

    1. GreenWindmill

      My imagination doesn't operate at that level.

    2. The Nuttmxn

      I did, it ended in the crowd.

    Martin Keown giving Hodgson a verbal blowie for making great half-time substitutions. No Frankenstein - he would have been a better manager if he played them from the start like anyone with half a brain would.

    Sturridge absolutely different class since coming on.

      The tactics of putting your best players on the bench?

    I've never been so happy to see that frickin dance 😀

    Something about England doing well doesn't feel right. I'm suspicious

      Not sure you can call beating a Championship-standard team in a tepid performance thanks to 2 lucky goals doing well

    Credit to Woy - bringing on at half time the two strikers he should have started with.

  25. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. THE Wild Rover

    Vardy/Sturridge is the combo of dreams

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years

    As proud as I am for England to win, Vardy's goal was offside.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Williams headed it no offside

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It came off Williams.

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      nope. Came off Williams' head.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No it wasn't.

    5. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lol, not the wisest owl ever are you 😀

    6. BlzE_94
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It came Williams so wasn't offside

    7. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years

      That's you told.

    8. Ziro
