Absolute shocker from Neco Williams, dear oh dear. Game over unless Wales improve rapidly.

 

[Old Skier]

Ooooops! ?????

Steady, England yet to play.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Steady, England yet to play.

We can lose just as easily, I think we all know that ?.

Wales are giving it everything and that is all you can ask. If England do the same and go out then I won't complain.

 

[Papas1982]

Steady, England yet to play.

And?

We could still go out obviously. Doesn't make that any less funny ?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Heads gone for Wales. Sad end for them.

Strong performance by Denmark

 

[Orikoru]

How was that a red? Complete joke. 100% yellow card challenge that. Still, Wales haven't turned up at all today unfortunately.

 

[Papas1982]

Well, having seen how the Liverpool players have performed today, maybe I don't want Henderson in the team after all ??

I wouldn't mind if that became default for a challenge like that. No intention of playing the ball, he just took the guy out. He wasn't injured but he could have been.

Hopefully that is an edict brought in by uefa and will be carried over into the PL

The Erickson situation could have gone two ways for them as a team

Shock them so much they fail to perform the rest of the tournament

Or

Inspire them to play and add a gear

Could be another greece

Trolling, seriously?

The England squad on paper is only second to France in my opinion.
If you get past Germany then the door is wide open to get to the final, that’s not saying you won’t have difficult games, teams aren’t just going to lie down, but you should have enough quality to get through.
You had a great qualification from the group, yet England fans still aren’t happy, Southgate is doing something right, it’s obvious with the set up that he’s worried about the centre half’s.

Not many anthems better than that. ???????.

The only downside to the game is robbie savage is co commentator ?

I have to say that I thought Robbie Savages commentary was first class. Gave plenty of compliments to the Danish and called it exactly as it was, Denmark were just too good for them.

We didn’t turn up but the team did have the opportunity to see parts of Europe they never thought they would see

He actually was okay today. It's a shame it takes Wales getting stuffed to calm him down.

I thought from the start he was calmer - might have had a talking to after the shambles in previous games!

I didn't see the Turkey game but did hear some of his commentary on the One Show.
Surely just an excited and passionate Welsh man, who you would expect nothing less from.

He is meant to be a professional though, not a Welsh white van man given a microphone for the day. I find him generally poor and irritating. Today was better but Wales going out will probably end his time in the tournament.

I know what you mean, but given the history of our referees over that last few years with new interpretations, it would surely end in chaos (and 4 aside in any game with Mike Dean in charge).

I did think the commentary team were over-egging that for the narrative though. Obviously the Eriksen incident is why they lost the Finland game, impossible to come out and perform then. But since then they started well against Belgium but got turned over, then two impressive wins against Russia and Wales who are not the biggest heavyweights in the draw - but I still think a decent side puts them out. Likely Holland in the next round.
