French referee, like that. We're like their little brother.

To be serious, I expext a hard fought game against Wales. They will be well organised and dangerous on the counter.
2:1 for Switzerland.
 
Realistically, this is a game where Wales need to win. Don't win this then they have no chance of progressing out of the group. I think 3 points could be enough to go through in 3rd
 
Wales vs Switzerland
2-2
Denmark vs Finland
2-1
Belgium vs Russia
3-0 (hopefully)

There’s only about 3 million of us, and some of those don’t even follow the football. Manchester has a larger population for comparison.

But for those of us who do, we sure make up for it!

I think because of the last Euros, there will be plenty jumping on board and getting behind the boys from the off, unlike last time where it was into the knockouts where it gained traction. The atmosphere looked electric at all the different public gatherings I saw videos of in those knockout rounds.

Their neutral little brother.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality? With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me

one here. Made it to the semi in Lyon last time around but it wasn’t to be..

tough group this time, hope we can avoid defeat tomorrow and see where it goes from there!
 
The Denmark game is being reffed by Anthony Taylor ffs. He will find a way to screw that game up. Nonsensical penalty for Finland incoming.

Well you know, they are neither for nor against you, they are neutral.;)

Cant see Wales winning a game this tournament without a bit of luck.
 
How do the Swiss play? If it becomes an expansive game Wales could definatley find some joy in behind, with Allen and Ramsey releasing James and Bale.

There was a lot of buzz that Moore wouldn’t be starting, but I’m glad to see that he is. Not exactly the prettiest player around but I definitely feel that the team functions better with him in it, plus that ability to play well in the air is going to be helpful when Wales aren’t able to get the passing game going, not just on set pieces but winning knockdowns and trying to get on the ball in their half.

He’s coming off a very good season as well, that combined with him always working his arse off means I’m really glad they’ve made that call.
 
Who's this Morrell guy? I know Ampadu didn't have the best season on loan at Sheffield United but would've thought he'd be ahead at DM.

Aside from that the strongest team Wales could've put out, just not sure enough of their key players are fit or shapr enough tbh.

Think Swiss will win 2-1, vastly experienced 11. Many of these were playing in world cup 2014.

I always think Swiss and Sweden are very similar in their set ups, tend to have similar line ups tournament after tournament but very well drilled in all areas and know how to get out of groups.

Think Swiss will actually get a point off Italy.
 
That Swiss team looks very strong though! Danger men throughout their team! I reckon Ramsey's fitness could be key here for Wales.

Yeah, after looking through, they are more stacked than I thought! Their midfield in particular could be very dangerous.
 
Going to Russia-Belgium match in St. Petersburg in a few hours....hoping for a host win. KDB injured helps, but it'll need a miracle still!

Football Village opened up here yesterday, amazing atmosphere pre-opening match, live concerts, and then the match itself.
 
The only decent game being the third one sucks balls given it'll be midnight here.
 
I think for the first time I can remember there's a Euros game now that can't be watched on free tv in Germany. What is this crap??
