England beats Wales in final minute

After falling behind 1-0 to Wales, Roy Hodgson made two half-time substitutions that changed the course of the game.

Crowd trouble throughout the opening weekend in Marseille may have overshadowed events on the pitch but Group B is intriguingly poised after the opening two games.

GARETH Bale admits he’s expecting a few kicks this afternoon after a week of verbal sparring with the England players and management. However, fans of the three sides will not be alone in watching on in interest, given that the United Kingdom economy stands to benefit from a prolonged British presence in the tournament.

“Credit to the team and to Roy Hodgson”, he said.

Then he was positioned with the same question as Bale, but the other way round.

“It’s small, small margins when you get to this level and if you get chances you have to take them.”

They (Slovakia) had a nice nibble on Saturday. The Real Madrid star scored his team’s first goal against Slovakia, and didn’t hesitate to share his feelings regarding England and Thursday’s matchup.

The Welsh wizard also said he is ready should England try to mark him out of the game.

“It’s a matter of total disinterest to me, because none of the Welsh players are available to play for England”. It wasn’t a ideal performance from Chris Coleman’s side, though he certainly won’t mind too much: Wales now have a great chance of making the knockout stages in their first major tournament since 1958.

“But I feel like I’m playing really well and that I can keep on improving”.

Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling threatened with headers, while the most contentious incident of the first period saw Kane denied a penalty when his close-range header struck Ben Davies’s outstretched left hand.

“It will give them a massive lift”, said Carragher.

“We will have to wait and see if I start it”.

“We have TV screens in all our departments so staff can watch the games if they would like to and we have a link sent out so they can watch the matches from their desks as well”. These are matters we can not affect.

We’ve got to care of ourselves and not worry about the opposition, whoever they are.

“You think how the last-minute goal against Russian Federation would have affected them”.

Workmen from May and Crooks and Whickham Roofing were spotted cheering on England as they were working on a house on Waterville Road.

“That’s what our country is about – being passionate, being proud to play for Wales”.

“Obviously, we’re massively disappointed but I’m proud of everyone”.

If you are from Wales, you always looked at this game because it is England but for me it is the middle game of three.

“I’m a massive Kane fan but he hasn’t been his normal self at the tournament and I think it’s better if Sterling comes out of the team”.
