“I think it’s going to be whichever teams can put their disappointments behind them that will prevail”.

“I’d have been a little bit less ecstatic (than I was) had we not conceded that late, late goal against Russian Federation to rob us of a deserved victory”.
Highlights from Euro 2016 as England take on Wales.
Dozens of people took time off work to crowd around half a dozen screens in The Castle Inn on High Street, but the mood was dampened when Gareth Bale put Wales in front from a long-range free-kick after a goalkeeping error from England stopper Joe Hart. We kept probing and kept knocking on the door and thankfully Daniel got a goal for us in the end.
“Jack Wilshere is kind of gnawing away at the edges to gain inclusion, he gives you something different and I’m sure Jack will play a part in this tournament”.
“Kane was not able to produce in the first two games and there was simply no time left when he was subbed at the break yesterday”, the former Newcastle striker wrote in The Sun regarding Kane’s performance for England against Wales on Thursday. Most of the time we looked quite strong and although they had a lot of possession I wasn’t that anxious.
“The tournament is not over yet”, said Bale, who last month helped Real Madrid win the Champions League. We know what Slovakia are all about so it won’t be an easy game for England.
Rashford, who went on in the 73rd minute, and Sturridge won warm praise from Hodgson for giving his team a fresh approach in attack. The Three Lions needed a win after their opening draw against Russian Federation, to keep their hopes of advancing alive, as they were sitting behind first-placed Welsh in the group.
“We gave 100 per cent and can’t have any regrets”, Bale told uefa.com after Sturridge’s injury-time strike gave England a dramatic victory.
“There are three games”, said the Wales boss. After the Sweden friendly game we were a bit down because we didn’t perform well and we spoke before the tournament about something like this happening.
Chris Coleman’s charges, however, will only need a point to be certain to progress to the next stage if England avoid defeat to Slovakia on Monday.

“Today we worked so hard in the second half and pushed and pushed and then scored in the 92nd minute, I suppose it shows things do even out but it is rare to see them even out in the space of two games”.
