Euro 2016: Who next for England and Wales?

In a drab British derby, it was the Northern Irish looking more risky in front of goal at the Parc des Princes in the first half of their first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup.

Wales will now have to sit and wait for the rest of the groups to be concluded before discovering their opponents in the round of 16 and Bale insisted that he has not yet thought about their next match.

All this fantastic collective work is lead by Gareth Bale.

“We wanted to stand out and to be recognised for the good work that we put in and for the amount of effort we put in defensively”.

The teams looked like the first-time European tournament finalists they are, with little quality in an encounter more suited to the lower leagues of English soccer.

Mutko adds Russian Federation should focus on developing young players and improving the domestic league but “you can’t change anything in an hour”.

Iceland are now second in Group F, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, Austria and current table toppers Hungary could all finish as runners-up.

“But finishing top gives you a better chance of progressing, even if there are no easy games”.

Neighbours Northern Ireland are far more familiar foes, with the two sides having drawn 1-1 in a Cardiff friendly as recently as March.

“Maybe against England we let the occasion get to us a bit, in terms of when we had the ball. I’m so lucky to be experiencing something now as a manager, at a tournament, and to see the team perform like that, it’s really pleasing”.

– If Czech Republic beat Turkey in their final match and Croatia lose to Spain, and Albania get bumped out of the third-place qualifiers, then WALES WILL PLAY EITHER CZECH REPUBLIC OR CROATIA depending on how goal difference pans out.

And he refused to hold back the joyful emotion of being able to soak-up the 3-0 victory as Chris Coleman’s side topped their group with a heroic showing just days after last-gasp defeat to England. To give kids the belief they can go out and play football.

“It was a great team performance, everything was spot on it was great”.

The other section of the draw has really opened up which is why England’s failure to top their group is so disappointing.
