It's Saturday, you're live with Newsround, with me Ayshah.

:00:07.:00:08.

Wales are just a couple of hours away from their first Euro 2016

:00:09.:00:13.

And I'm live in Marseille, where England play Russia later tonight.

:00:14.:00:20.

So, if you're a Wales or an England footy fan,

:00:21.:00:35.

Both teams play their first matches of Euro 2016.

:00:36.:00:41.

Leah and Jenny are in France for Newsround.

:00:42.:00:43.

Jenny's following the Wales team.

:00:44.:00:45.

Yes indeed. I'm at the Stade Velodrome, where just a few hours'

:00:46.:01:02.

time Wales will play their first ever game in the Euros. They're up

:01:03.:01:08.

against Slovakia at 5pm, and thousands of Welsh fans have

:01:09.:01:11.

travelled here to cheer on their team. There are lining up just on

:01:12.:01:15.

the other side of the building, there are homes going off all over

:01:16.:01:18.

the place and the atmosphere is really building. They will be

:01:19.:01:21.

pinning their hopes on star player Gareth Bale, the most expensive

:01:22.:01:25.

player in the world. He's no stranger to occasions like this, he

:01:26.:01:29.

plays for one of the world's most famous teams. It a massive day for

:01:30.:01:37.

Wales. So how will they get on against Slovakia? We asked a very

:01:38.:01:38.

special guest. It's time to hear

:01:39.:01:50.

Pierre's prediction. Pierre thinks Wales

:01:51.:02:16.

are going to win it. Well, earlier on today I spoke

:02:17.:02:19.

to former Wales international player, John Hartson,

:02:20.:02:21.

who gave me his view on Welsh star How good can Gareth Bale

:02:22.:02:24.

be in this tournament? Well, he can be as good

:02:25.:02:27.

as he wants to be, basically. If he performs at the level

:02:28.:02:30.

that we know he can perform, he can exceed all

:02:31.:02:32.

expectations really. He's such a dynamic,

:02:33.:02:37.

explosive player. If Gareth Bale turns it

:02:38.:02:41.

on, if he plays to the level that he can, he can take Wales

:02:42.:02:44.

on to another level. Of course, Wales are not the only

:02:45.:03:01.

home nation playing today. England take on Russia in Marseille. Leah is

:03:02.:03:03.

live there. Well this is as close as I can get

:03:04.:03:07.

to the pitch on match day! If I took a step back, I would be in

:03:08.:03:28.

lots of trouble. It's all happening here at the moment. Yesterday, the

:03:29.:03:31.

England team arrived to have a look around the stadium, get a feel for

:03:32.:03:35.

where they'll be playing later tonight at 8pm. They are up against

:03:36.:03:39.

Russia, their opening game. Lots of opinions about England at the

:03:40.:03:43.

moment, some people saying that they don't have the experience with

:03:44.:03:47.

players like Marcus Rashford and Jamie Vardy. Others say that could

:03:48.:03:50.

be the key to their success, because they will have bags and bags of

:03:51.:03:55.

energy. Here is what England boss Roy Hodgson had to say.

:03:56.:03:58.

We want to go as far as we possibly can.

:03:59.:04:00.

We'll work very hard to play well enough to get as far as we can.

:04:01.:04:04.

But you never know what's going to happen in a football match.

:04:05.:04:07.

Each game has its own history, you never know what opponent

:04:08.:04:09.

you going to come up against, you never know what fates

:04:10.:04:12.

We'll try to be ready for everything, and we'll

:04:13.:04:15.

try to stay in this competition for as long as possible.

:04:16.:04:18.

They'll be trying to stay in this competition for as long as they can,

:04:19.:04:25.

but the brilliant thing for this stadium is that where fans sit,

:04:26.:04:29.

they'll have a fantastic view of the page. There is an intimacy between

:04:30.:04:33.

the players on the pitch and the fans watching. I've been to stadiums

:04:34.:04:37.

all over the world, and this one is pretty special. Head online to see

:04:38.:04:42.

who are much predicting Cockrell thinks is going to win this game.

:04:43.:04:47.

I'll be here all weekend watching this game, and I will be bringing

:04:48.:04:51.

you an update tomorrow on what happens. That's all from me for now

:04:52.:04:53.

from Stade Velodrome. Before we go, it's

:04:54.:04:57.

the Queen's birthday today. You might remember she had

:04:58.:05:00.

a birthday back in April, but because she's the Queen

:05:01.:05:03.

she gets two. More than 1,000 officers,

:05:04.:05:04.

200 horses and 400 musicians are putting on a big

:05:05.:05:06.
