:00:52. > :01:00.Good evening. Highlights of all three of today's games on the way
:01:01. > :01:03.for you. We will see the hosts again and look ahead to Northern Ireland's
:01:04. > :01:09.second group game and the small matter of England against Wales.
:01:10. > :01:12.Fittingly we have an Englishman and Welshman, Jermaine Jenas alongside
:01:13. > :01:16.Dean Saunders. We start in Marseilles where the favourites
:01:17. > :01:22.France continue their campaign against Albania.
:01:23. > :01:30.COMMENTATOR: It took something rather special from Dimitri Payet
:01:31. > :01:35.late in the day in their start against mania, with first night
:01:36. > :01:40.nerves in the rear mirror and three points on the board, the nation now
:01:41. > :01:50.expects in the Calder and of these Stade Velodrome against Albania.
:01:51. > :01:56.Didier Deschamps electing to leave out Paul Pogba and Antoine
:01:57. > :02:10.Griezmann, who were both knocked on their best in the opening game.
:02:11. > :02:23.Kante launching that one forward, met by the head of Ajeti. Ajeti
:02:24. > :02:31.plays in Serie A in Italy. No getting past Agolli.
:02:32. > :02:40.Who else but Dimitri Payet with the ball at his feet? Whipped in
:02:41. > :02:50.dangerously and off the top of the head of Giroud. He has scored in his
:02:51. > :02:52.last six starts for France. Some dark clouds in the sky above the
:02:53. > :03:11.Stade Velodrome. Rain deposited on the venue.
:03:12. > :03:16.Collected here by Andi Lila. The Napoli player has done well. A
:03:17. > :03:23.dangerous one and Sadiku would almost on the end of that. A real
:03:24. > :03:25.threat from Albania. The deflection from Anthony Martial just took it
:03:26. > :03:42.away from Armando Sadiku. Kingsley Coman, brilliant skill. Not
:03:43. > :03:52.quite such a good cross. But what a lovely touch, to take Kukeli out of
:03:53. > :03:58.the game. The referee blew up for the first
:03:59. > :04:06.challenge on Sadiku. He definitely got the ball, and then got Sadiku
:04:07. > :04:13.afterwards. What can Albania make of this
:04:14. > :04:14.situation? Dangerous ball in. Headed behind by Koscielny. Couldn't take
:04:15. > :04:25.any chances there. Hysaj's delivery. Racing in with the
:04:26. > :04:32.shot on goal, but smothered at the very last minute. Lenjani.
:04:33. > :04:40.Up towards Armando Sadiku. WHISTLE
:04:41. > :04:58.High boot, Albania get a free kick just outside the box. On the side of
:04:59. > :05:05.the head. Will Albania take advantage press my both sides with
:05:06. > :05:11.ten men on the pitch at the moment. Just over the top of the bar. Hugo
:05:12. > :05:18.Lloris looked to have it covered. WHISTLE
:05:19. > :05:23.The referee from Scotland gets us underway.
:05:24. > :05:45.Giroud leaves it. As bodies to a Mak in the centre, Matuidi! Just past
:05:46. > :05:48.the far post, Kingsley Coman racing in. Almost a blistering start to the
:05:49. > :05:56.second half for France. Lenjani racing into the penalty
:05:57. > :06:11.area. Agolli switching the play. This is
:06:12. > :06:13.decent from Albania, dangerous looking cross. France really
:06:14. > :06:19.struggling. Saved by the post-! France that. Chas the ball
:06:20. > :06:49.ricocheted off the post. Evra to Giroud. Payet. Lovely. Great
:06:50. > :06:54.chance! 'S guide by Pogba. -- skied by Pogba. Problem was there, on the
:06:55. > :07:09.half volley. Patrice Evra. Kante just waited half a second too
:07:10. > :07:21.long. He has won it back. Lots of blue shirts queueing up. Giroud
:07:22. > :07:27.wide. Frustration cascading down from the stands at the velodrome.
:07:28. > :07:40.Evra motoring along, in towards Giroud. Off the post-!
:07:41. > :07:47.The closest France have come to scoring tonight, and Giroud can't
:07:48. > :07:56.believe the ball did not go in. Nearly 82 minutes on the watch.
:07:57. > :08:00.Gignac. Looking at the referee, hoping for a free kick. Albania
:08:01. > :08:11.still digging in. France probing and looking to break the deadlock.
:08:12. > :08:17.Gignac can't find a way past Mavraj. Berisha took it well. Left out at
:08:18. > :08:26.the start of the match, Griezmann, but almost getting on the end of it.
:08:27. > :08:30.What a gargantuan effort from Albania's defence today and it is
:08:31. > :08:40.not over yet. The header this time from Agolli. Griezmann! Saves the
:08:41. > :08:45.day for France in the last minute of the 90. Left out of the team by
:08:46. > :08:51.Didier Deschamps at the start tonight, he's the hero of the hour.
:08:52. > :08:57.Roars of relief at around these Stade Velodrome. The favourites are
:08:58. > :09:03.set to squeeze home against Albania. Who came so close to keeping a clean
:09:04. > :09:08.sheet and securing a precious and memorable point. But the French kept
:09:09. > :09:13.probing, and in the end they found a way through.
:09:14. > :09:25.Last chance saloon, surely now for Albania.
:09:26. > :09:36.Sagna, Pogba. Gignac will wait for the past from Pogba and take it in
:09:37. > :09:40.his stride. Matuidi busting a gut to get there with him. Dimitri Payet,
:09:41. > :09:47.he can feel the deal here, and he has!
:09:48. > :09:56.And that has put a better gloss on it from the French point of view.
:09:57. > :10:01.Two goals right at the death. And they secured the points for France,
:10:02. > :10:04.they go through to the knockout stages. Dimitri Payet, his second
:10:05. > :10:12.goal at these European Championships.
:10:13. > :10:17.Another amazing finish to the game from the host and they are through
:10:18. > :10:23.to the knockout. No shots on target for 89 minutes, we thought it would
:10:24. > :10:26.be one of those games, but quite efficient, two goals from two goals
:10:27. > :10:31.and targets. A lot of that was down to the fact Albania were so good,
:10:32. > :10:34.pressed hard higher up the pitch, making life hard for the French,
:10:35. > :10:38.they had to work very hard to get the opportunities they did. This is
:10:39. > :10:42.what the best teams do. Even when the game is going on a lot later,
:10:43. > :10:45.they still believe they are going to get that chance. That is the
:10:46. > :10:49.centre-half screaming at his midfielder to get across because he
:10:50. > :10:53.knows the cross is coming in. Griezmann, the substitute who could
:10:54. > :11:00.have been sulking, gets between the two defenders and puts his team 1-0
:11:01. > :11:04.up in the 90th minute. Look at this for a pass from Paul Pogba, slips
:11:05. > :11:08.but still manages it. A beautiful ball into the path of the striker.
:11:09. > :11:13.This is the part I love most from Payet. Most people would pass that
:11:14. > :11:16.because they would think he is in a better position, but he is so
:11:17. > :11:21.confident and the moment, just wants to take responsibility over time. He
:11:22. > :11:25.knows when he picks up that ball, this is a goal, this is going in the
:11:26. > :11:29.back of the net. You can tell by his face he's like, this is my moment.
:11:30. > :11:34.Used to be a crowd favourite in Marseille and enjoyed himself again.
:11:35. > :11:38.You were decent with your head, so we asked you to look at some heading
:11:39. > :11:44.techniques tonight. Some good stuff towards the end of the game, but
:11:45. > :11:47.average throughout, you thought? Crossing and finishing practice
:11:48. > :11:52.required. Giroud could have had three. The technique on some of the
:11:53. > :11:55.headers, Giroud, his head is moving around too much. You have to keep
:11:56. > :12:01.your head still until the last Trying to put too much pressure
:12:02. > :12:04.power on it. The same here with Koscielny. You have to keep your
:12:05. > :12:08.head still until the last second until you hit the ball in any sport
:12:09. > :12:12.and football is no different. They need to get on the training ground
:12:13. > :12:16.and practices. There is another one. That is three that could have got
:12:17. > :12:20.in. Trying to get too much power and movement on it. Keep your eye on the
:12:21. > :12:27.ball until it comes to you it's like a snatch with your feet. This one,
:12:28. > :12:30.can't complain, great header. Punches it into the ground, keeps
:12:31. > :12:36.his head still and very unlucky. And eventually, they get through.
:12:37. > :12:40.Griezmann comes on, and this header is completely different. If you
:12:41. > :12:44.watch, he keeps his head still longer and directs the ball in the
:12:45. > :12:49.corner. But they need to practice, because they could have won 5-0. I
:12:50. > :12:54.think it is time for another Dean Saunders masterclass, bad and good
:12:55. > :12:57.technique... Any sport, if you're running around with your head
:12:58. > :13:01.moving, you will not time the ball properly. On the training pitch,
:13:02. > :13:05.keep your head still, as the ball comes in, last second, you just
:13:06. > :13:08.punch the ball in the direction you want. If you are moving ahead and
:13:09. > :13:11.trying to put too much power on it you missed time the ball. They need
:13:12. > :13:17.to practice and practice until they get it right. There we go, learning
:13:18. > :13:20.all the time. What about Albania? You said they frustrated France and
:13:21. > :13:29.when it was goalless they had two great opportunities. They did. This
:13:30. > :13:37.one from Lenjani, should have been in the back of the Nat. -- net. If
:13:38. > :13:41.he gets a better contact is in the back of the net. This one, a great
:13:42. > :13:54.cross from Hysaj, whips into the box so unlucky here. Memushaj. Yes, any
:13:55. > :13:58.kind of contact on this... You think, just go in, please. Trying
:13:59. > :14:03.all sorts to get it in the back of the net. You watched some of the
:14:04. > :14:07.game in the fan zone. The noise was incredible, especially when the
:14:08. > :14:12.goals went in. In terms of those changes Didier Deschamps made, no
:14:13. > :14:15.Griezmann Pogba in the starting line-up, where you are impressed
:14:16. > :14:19.with the spirit when they came in? Hazard yes, not just that, those
:14:20. > :14:25.decisions are big decisions, dropping those two star players. For
:14:26. > :14:29.them to come in and act the way they did, and the celebrations towards
:14:30. > :14:33.the end, it told me a lot about how together the team is. Didier
:14:34. > :14:37.Deschamps said it was a tactical decision. We are with Northern
:14:38. > :14:41.Ireland as they prepare to take on Ukraine later on, but first, Romania
:14:42. > :14:45.needed something against Switzerland after their opening night defeat of
:14:46. > :14:57.the hosts. Jonathan Pearce was at the Parc des Princes.
:14:58. > :15:06.The first major issue of tournament can be settled here, Romania makes
:15:07. > :15:11.four changes from their opening loss to France, this will be the third
:15:12. > :15:22.Centre forward they will have tried already, with Chipciu. Some players
:15:23. > :15:34.picked up slight injuries against France. Switzerland are not changed
:15:35. > :15:38.from their win against Albania. In towards the end, Seferovic turns and
:15:39. > :15:56.shoots. Everything was right except the score. Anghel Iordanescu was the
:15:57. > :16:02.Romanian coach when they were beaten before, has been described by his
:16:03. > :16:06.country as the coach of the century. And there was some shirt tugging
:16:07. > :16:13.their under penalty has been given. Chipciu was pulled back, needless
:16:14. > :16:18.defending, Lichtsteiner pulled on the shirt of Chipciu, it was
:16:19. > :16:23.blatant. Bogdan Stancu scored from the spot against France, and he
:16:24. > :16:33.scores again in Paris to put Romania 1-0 up! 18 minutes gone. Well taken.
:16:34. > :16:43.Delight for Anghel Iordanescu. Lovely effort they're! Looping and
:16:44. > :16:59.swooping down. Freddie Mae Petkovic, the Swiss
:17:00. > :17:24.coach. Caught by Xherdan Shaqiri. Torje with the free kick. Right foot
:17:25. > :17:33.bending dangerously in. And just clipped the outside of the post. And
:17:34. > :17:38.Romania were almost 2-0 up, through Sapunaru, the ride back. A lovely
:17:39. > :17:48.ball bent in. Clipped the outside of the post.
:17:49. > :17:55.Looking full of Steiner to get in behind, he does so, get set to the
:17:56. > :17:58.edge of the box and it's headed wide. They have had their
:17:59. > :18:11.opportunities and they have missed them. Hoisted high, rising unmarked
:18:12. > :18:26.and could not hit the target. Torje with the cross. The set up.
:18:27. > :18:42.Torje and that very nearly went into his own net! Romania, so close to a
:18:43. > :18:52.second. A substitution for Switzerland any minute now.
:18:53. > :19:02.Dzemali. If in doubt, get a doubt, that's what they did just then. The
:19:03. > :19:13.corner kick is swung away. And it's the equaliser! He might have looked
:19:14. > :19:17.across and seen that Switzerland were about to make a substitution
:19:18. > :19:27.and fear that he might be the one to go off. Embolo was getting ready to
:19:28. > :19:34.come on, you might have to sit down now, it's 1-1. No hesitation,
:19:35. > :19:48.rocketed into the back of the net, buying in it was. Finding his man. I
:19:49. > :20:01.think he's feeling a bit hard done by. Everything could change with
:20:02. > :20:03.that goal. He's gone for goal. Unfortunately for him, the ball was
:20:04. > :20:16.cleared away. 1-1. Confirmation of how Group A looks.
:20:17. > :20:21.Funds are through to the knockout stage, Switzerland just behind them
:20:22. > :20:23.on four. Romania and Albania meet in their final group game, just one
:20:24. > :20:32.point between them It is hard to believe that
:20:33. > :20:38.Switzerland found themselves behind, so many chances. Chance after
:20:39. > :20:41.chance, some poor finishing, some bad luck, they missed too many
:20:42. > :20:50.chances today, they will be kicking themselves. Seferovic played OK
:20:51. > :20:56.apart from letting in the ball. He played OK, great feet, just did not
:20:57. > :21:00.slot the ball when he was aiming at. This is something similar, although
:21:01. > :21:07.he has to score. The keeper made a good save. Did he make him work
:21:08. > :21:12.enough? Probably not. Great volley, great technique, not much more that
:21:13. > :21:19.he can do. A good save from the goalkeeper, as Dean said. A thing he
:21:20. > :21:29.thought he was going to get cluttered.
:21:30. > :21:40.Embolo is about to come on, for Mehmedi. Manager's timing. Mehmedi
:21:41. > :21:45.but that one into the net! I think the manager told Embolo that he
:21:46. > :21:49.might need to sit down for a couple of minutes! It is better to be a
:21:50. > :21:53.lucky manager sometimes than a good one! Romania and Albania are not out
:21:54. > :21:57.of the group. Albania were good in that second half with just ten men
:21:58. > :22:02.against Switzerland and they pushed France so they've got everything to
:22:03. > :22:06.go for in that final game. Romania showed more against France than they
:22:07. > :22:12.did today, think they were lucky to get anything out of Switzerland.
:22:13. > :22:15.Albania have every chance of getting something in that last game. They
:22:16. > :22:18.played really well today, with all those great French players on the
:22:19. > :22:23.pitch, they did really well, they cancel get there. They should be
:22:24. > :22:29.proud of themselves. England and Wales play tomorrow, the other two
:22:30. > :22:32.teams in the group met in Lille today. Uefa had threatened to throw
:22:33. > :22:40.rush out if there was any repeat of the violence that we saw in
:22:41. > :22:45.Marseille. Russia plates of IPL. England versus Wales can wait one
:22:46. > :22:49.more day, but then the qualification picture will be clearer after we see
:22:50. > :22:54.what happens between Russia and Slovakia, B hits the middle games
:22:55. > :23:02.today, the ones that can set up, seal, or all but end hopes of going
:23:03. > :23:12.through. The Russian coach, Leonard Slutsky, saw enough from his team to
:23:13. > :23:19.say same again. For Slovakia, three changes from the team and beaten by
:23:20. > :23:28.Wales in Bordeaux. Duda is one of those coming in to start. I think we
:23:29. > :23:37.can surmise the opening exchanges as scrappy. Hamsik! Got hold of it.
:23:38. > :23:44.Poor play by Russia, that wasn't far away at all. Hope that Leonard
:23:45. > :23:49.Slutsky is OK, that rocking and deep breathing does not suggest that he
:23:50. > :23:58.is. The youngest coach in the competition. And with the highest
:23:59. > :24:08.blood pressure! It's only just right! Absolutely brilliant. Central
:24:09. > :24:19.defence seems to have completely opened up. I thought just a touch
:24:20. > :24:23.too many. Hamsik. What a ball. Weiss! A lovely couple of touches,
:24:24. > :24:35.and a fine finish! Slovakia take the lead! Thanks to a
:24:36. > :24:43.brilliant ball and a very nice bit of work at the end. A lovely girl
:24:44. > :24:52.for Slovakia, extremely well made, extremely well taken. Defensively,
:24:53. > :24:58.Weiss. The path of the match. The right back is already on the wrong
:24:59. > :25:04.side. Wesley going? It's like, you know that Weiss is going to come in.
:25:05. > :25:11.It's, OK, coincide committed, and score! The young player who started
:25:12. > :25:17.out at Manchester City and went on to play for Bolton is now based in
:25:18. > :25:24.Qatar. He has made 1-0 in favour of Russia. That's the reaction that
:25:25. > :25:30.haven't seen yet. The cross is good. That's a pretty handy knock-down for
:25:31. > :25:39.Weiss. The ball from Hamsik was brilliant. He just picked somebody
:25:40. > :25:46.out. He saw his opponent coming up, not many others did. Hamsik, again,
:25:47. > :25:56.they've left him alone! Hamsik! Just a brilliant from the best player on
:25:57. > :26:02.the field! Its two goals for Slovakia before half-time. And from
:26:03. > :26:08.almost the same position. As good as his first goal was, for Slovakia,
:26:09. > :26:17.this was absolutely top drawer. Such a sweet strike. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
:26:18. > :26:23.The goalkeeper knows what he's doing, has absolutely no chance. And
:26:24. > :26:30.you would say, little chance for Russia based on what we've witnessed
:26:31. > :26:34.in this first half. We'd just like to reiterate that the game is being
:26:35. > :26:39.played and the stunner are closed roof because of nasty weather in
:26:40. > :26:51.Lille. It's not the middle of the night -- played under accused roof.
:26:52. > :26:56.That's really good work. Robert Mak. And it has to be pushed twice over
:26:57. > :27:06.the crossbar. Slovakia get a shot on goal. He does strike me as the kind
:27:07. > :27:11.of manager who... He's been called the Russian Mourinho in some media
:27:12. > :27:27.reports in the past. That was a better ball into the box. A chance
:27:28. > :27:32.here. Smolov hit it, the follow up by Glushakov. Good play by Russia
:27:33. > :27:39.this time. Happy is the vacuum everywhere. Even though Russia
:27:40. > :27:45.trailing 2-0 there are echoes of the England game -- happy Slovakians
:27:46. > :27:50.everywhere. They haven't had the the 23rd minute. There could be another
:27:51. > :27:55.one about to come. Their next run against England was in the 92nd
:27:56. > :28:02.minute, they now need to two. There might be one and there is! Russia
:28:03. > :28:08.might have a way back! Glushakov! That was a well worked goal.
:28:09. > :28:13.Slovakia just made a substitute, another striker, now they have to
:28:14. > :28:21.strikers on, and they've just conceded. Really good play, a lovely
:28:22. > :28:35.ball in. Good had. -- good header. Great finish. All of a sudden it's
:28:36. > :28:43.panic stations for Slovakia. It's Glushakov! He can't get a second. He
:28:44. > :28:48.had a quick look, decent strike, the first touch was good. Slovakia needs
:28:49. > :28:51.to hear the full-time whistle as soon as possible.
:28:52. > :28:58.WHISTLE There's a shake of the head from
:28:59. > :29:02.Hamsik but he will be delighted when he takes stock of what his team has
:29:03. > :29:07.done because for the first time ever they have won a game at the European
:29:08. > :29:16.Championship. The final score, Slovakia have beaten Russia, 2-1.
:29:17. > :29:23.A look at Group B. We will talk about that England and Wales game a
:29:24. > :29:27.little later on. We saw against Wales Hamsik had one of those
:29:28. > :29:34.frustrating days in Bordeaux. Today we saw him as the provider and
:29:35. > :29:38.finisher and he is class? He is class, there go to player. His an
:29:39. > :29:42.awareness on the pitch, it was the difference today for Slovakia. We
:29:43. > :29:45.have highlighted in here because when he gets this ball... People
:29:46. > :29:50.think it's simple because he makes it look simple, that touch with the
:29:51. > :29:54.outside of his boots to get that in his path, and then the strike, hits
:29:55. > :29:59.it so cleanly with his so-called weaker foot. That striker missed
:30:00. > :30:03.pass you see now, always checking his shoulder. Knows where he wants
:30:04. > :30:13.to hit it, Barry, right on the money. What a ball that is. -- bang,
:30:14. > :30:18.right on the money. Good players can find space, but it's about knowing
:30:19. > :30:21.when to turn and went to pop it first time. He wants to make things
:30:22. > :30:29.happen. When he picks it up here, the thing Russia expected was that.
:30:30. > :30:33.That is phenomenal. For me, goal of the tournament so far. We have seen
:30:34. > :30:37.some good ones but that is high praise indeed from you. It was a
:30:38. > :30:42.special moment, and even the celebration I liked it. Normally at
:30:43. > :30:47.the strike you would say, great striker, let's celebrate that. It
:30:48. > :30:52.you want to pick up on Smolov, that he was so busy going that way he was
:30:53. > :30:56.forgetting the defensive duties. Hamsik was brilliant today, but it
:30:57. > :31:01.was helped by Smolov who was out of position time after time. There, you
:31:02. > :31:05.should be in line with his two centre-backs. Totally out of
:31:06. > :31:13.position. Instead of rectifying it, he dives in. Again, coming down this
:31:14. > :31:17.site, look where he is. Miles out of position, so they have to attack
:31:18. > :31:21.down that side again. All the attacks were coming down that
:31:22. > :31:25.channel, really good going forward, but caught out of position time and
:31:26. > :31:29.time again. Some of the positions he was taking up today were ridiculous.
:31:30. > :31:35.He is there, playing as from three with his back to goal, receiving it
:31:36. > :31:38.like a striker. He is the right back, he shouldn't be in that
:31:39. > :31:42.position. The centre-back playing inside of him will have his career
:31:43. > :31:48.finished soon, if he keeps playing like that in front of him. He's
:31:49. > :31:52.defending half a pitch on his own. And 36 years old! Another chance
:31:53. > :31:58.down that side. If you're going to spring forward, sprint back. How can
:31:59. > :32:02.you write back be closing your goalkeeper down? Ridiculous. If you
:32:03. > :32:08.look at this, most of his touches were in the opposition's half. A
:32:09. > :32:13.good young attacking full-back but today they give Hamsik too much
:32:14. > :32:16.room, Wales didn't do that. Gareth Bale might enjoy his time against
:32:17. > :32:26.him in his final game. You are a manager. Leonid Slutsky, his
:32:27. > :32:30.reaction was brilliant. This is what it can do to you, started off quite
:32:31. > :32:35.calm, getting a bit worked up. The goal has gone in. He's getting out
:32:36. > :32:41.of control, so he has a word with himself. Now he's having a word with
:32:42. > :32:46.himself, calming himself down, think he's sorted, no, he's gone against!
:32:47. > :32:52.He's gone again. He's right, terrible defending. You'd think a
:32:53. > :32:56.bowl would help him, it got worse when Russia scored. That's what
:32:57. > :33:01.being a manager can do to you. A beautiful sight. It shows you, no
:33:02. > :33:06.one in the dugout was listening to him because they knew he needed his
:33:07. > :33:09.moment alone. In terms of off the pitch, tonight in Lille police have
:33:10. > :33:18.had to use tear gas, pepper spray and acoustic missiles. The number of
:33:19. > :33:22.fans have been detained throughout the day. We hope for a peaceful
:33:23. > :33:25.night, because it is a big day tomorrow for all three of the home
:33:26. > :33:34.nations. England against Wales is live on BBC One. Build-up starts at
:33:35. > :33:37.one o'clock on BBC Two. If you are at work and your boss is nice you
:33:38. > :33:48.can always watch it through the BBC sport website. Awesome commentary on
:33:49. > :33:55.radio five live. Highlights on a little later for that you can still
:33:56. > :33:59.get involved in the Euro 2016 predictor game. After six months of
:34:00. > :34:04.waiting, England against Wales is nearly upon us, are you ready? Gabby
:34:05. > :34:08.Logan and Jason Mohammed are in the camps. This will be the first
:34:09. > :34:14.meeting between two home nations for 20 years.
:34:15. > :34:22.A 2-1 win over Slovakia. 30,000 Welsh bands in red in Bordeaux were
:34:23. > :34:27.loving it. An entire nation back home ecstatic. But here in the north
:34:28. > :34:33.of France, all is calm. We got the result we wanted in the first game,
:34:34. > :34:40.but we very quickly onto the second. We go into this game on a high and
:34:41. > :34:44.we are a confident bunch. England next, I think the pressure will be
:34:45. > :34:48.on their shoulders, not ours. I think they will have to approach the
:34:49. > :34:53.game slightly differently, but it doesn't change our approach. Our
:34:54. > :34:56.focus will be on what we can do, how we can affect them. I think if we
:34:57. > :35:01.implement our game plan will hopefully come out with a Hosley
:35:02. > :35:05.positive result. The players here are markedly focused ahead of the
:35:06. > :35:09.biggest match of their lives, and they are quietly confident of
:35:10. > :35:13.beating England. Things not quite so smooth in the
:35:14. > :35:17.England camp, from elation to deflation with that late Russian
:35:18. > :35:20.equaliser and the move is not helped with a Uefa warning so strong it
:35:21. > :35:25.brought out the captain and manager to appeal to England's travelling
:35:26. > :35:28.fans. As England manager I'm very concerned about the threat now
:35:29. > :35:34.hanging over us, and the sanctions that could possibly be imposed on
:35:35. > :35:38.the England team. I would like to say to the fans, if you don't have a
:35:39. > :35:45.ticket, don't travel. If you have a ticket, safe and sensible. Away from
:35:46. > :35:49.the pitch it is hard to get away from the question, what to do with
:35:50. > :35:53.Gareth Bale? No doubt Gareth is a world-class player, but it would be
:35:54. > :35:57.naive to focus just on one player in the team. They have quality
:35:58. > :36:00.throughout the team. We are confident if we produce that
:36:01. > :36:04.performance all round, where a better team. We have better players
:36:05. > :36:10.and we are confident if we can produce that performance and stop
:36:11. > :36:16.Gayle, we can win the game. Yes, people have said everyone wants to
:36:17. > :36:22.gain the English scalp, but that is not just Wales, it is every other
:36:23. > :36:25.country. We thrive off that. So no special treatment from Roy's
:36:26. > :36:29.players, just another game they insist, just another country trying
:36:30. > :36:32.to take on England scalp. At two o'clock tomorrow the noise,
:36:33. > :36:37.atmosphere and nerves might just say different.
:36:38. > :36:40.Can't wait to see what happens. In terms of the Wales team, three
:36:41. > :36:44.points from a possible three so far, what are you thinking Chris Coleman
:36:45. > :36:48.might do against England? A couple of options, I think it would be
:36:49. > :36:53.harsh to leave anyone out after that result. But he could bring the
:36:54. > :36:57.goalkeeper in, Wayne Hennessey, who has had a bad back. He has had an
:36:58. > :37:03.injection, if that works it might be fit. Same back five, that has done
:37:04. > :37:07.so well. Midfield, might make a change with Ledley coming in for
:37:08. > :37:12.Edwards. Ledley is a big character in the camp. He wants him on the
:37:13. > :37:17.pitch. The same front three. Robson-Kanu could go in, might leave
:37:18. > :37:24.Williams out the Jerusalem, move tail along and put Robson-Kanu
:37:25. > :37:29.upfront. We are expecting Roy Hodgson to play the same personnel,
:37:30. > :37:34.but you would like to see, ideally, a slight positional switch. Explain
:37:35. > :37:38.what you mean. Look, we played very well, but my only worry I had was
:37:39. > :37:42.Harry Kane was a bit isolated and we didn't get the best out of Harry
:37:43. > :37:47.Kane. I would like to see Wayne Rooney drop right next to Eric Dier,
:37:48. > :37:51.because that way you get the extra cover with Gareth Bale and the
:37:52. > :37:54.problems he will cause. Get Dele Alli into the position he plays for
:37:55. > :38:06.Tottenham, higher up the pitch, near to Kane. Harry Kane was very
:38:07. > :38:10.isolated, and I think it was a big part of the reason he didn't play so
:38:11. > :38:14.well, he was just a little lost. Everybody else played really well,
:38:15. > :38:19.he was the only one... Didn't have anybody to link up with. Do you not
:38:20. > :38:25.think they played reasonably well? Very well. And you go searching for
:38:26. > :38:29.a solution, and there was nothing wrong. Just on the day things don't
:38:30. > :38:32.go your way on the day. I thought they played really well. The
:38:33. > :38:36.goalkeeper made a great save and they had chances to win in the first
:38:37. > :38:41.half but didn't take the chances. Will Wales go for the high press
:38:42. > :38:45.again? Definitely. The team is full of sprinters and athletes, they are
:38:46. > :38:48.all mobile and it starts with Gareth Bale, he starts everything off. If
:38:49. > :38:54.he goes chasing the ball, they will go in behind. The midfield players
:38:55. > :38:58.even join in, there will be a full press on, and it is if England can
:38:59. > :39:02.play through them. It will be like a Premier League game. Ben Davies
:39:03. > :39:08.around the and Jack Wilshere. Lallana Conor Henderson and Joe
:39:09. > :39:13.Allen. They all know each other so well. These guys played against each
:39:14. > :39:18.other week in and week out. They know what their strengths and
:39:19. > :39:22.weaknesses are. It will be who handles the pressure. Both a bit
:39:23. > :39:28.nervy? We have three points in the bag army is a bit more nervy than
:39:29. > :39:30.me. Well said. Northern Ireland are back in action tomorrow, hopefully
:39:31. > :39:33.getting their campaign up and running with the result against
:39:34. > :39:47.Ukraine. Stephen Watson has been with the squad.
:39:48. > :39:53.Where better to return after a disappointing defeat than the
:39:54. > :39:58.beautiful Beaujolais wine region just outside Lyon? This is Northern
:39:59. > :40:01.Ireland's team based during the Euro rose and they haven't had longed to
:40:02. > :40:06.do well on their opening loss to Poland. Their 12 game unbeaten run
:40:07. > :40:13.may be broken but their spirit and togetherness remains intact. There's
:40:14. > :40:17.things in the game we've watched and we want to put right. Simple things,
:40:18. > :40:24.things we have done in the past we've done good at, we want to get
:40:25. > :40:26.back to that. We believe we will put on a better performance in the next
:40:27. > :40:35.game. Are you confident as a team that you
:40:36. > :40:41.can still progress, get a win against Ukraine? 100%. Everyone says
:40:42. > :40:48.about 12 games unbeaten going into it. Some of those games were against
:40:49. > :40:51.top quality sides and high-quality substitutions, as well. We have
:40:52. > :41:00.characters in this team and people like myself... We have had to pull
:41:01. > :41:04.things out of the bag. It's that attitude that got them to the
:41:05. > :41:09.finals, and one that guaranteeing not to change. We'll put a lot of
:41:10. > :41:16.effort into that match. I think that is something we can be proud of.
:41:17. > :41:19.We've worked hard for each other. At times we were defending for lives,
:41:20. > :41:23.covering each other, that's something that has never been
:41:24. > :41:29.questioned by anyone in the team. We want to carry on. So, should we were
:41:30. > :41:36.all Northern Ireland out of progressing in the tournament? Not a
:41:37. > :41:40.chance! Do you think Northern Ireland will or can change the way
:41:41. > :41:44.they play in the second game? I think they will definitely change
:41:45. > :41:47.the way they play. I think they were far too conservative, it didn't seem
:41:48. > :41:51.to be the way they wanted to play, very cautious. When he made the
:41:52. > :41:57.changes and Washington came on, they looked far more dangerous. In terms
:41:58. > :42:00.of the way they were playing, do you think their confidence might have
:42:01. > :42:03.been knocked, that they were on a great run and it came to an end and
:42:04. > :42:06.they weren't able to produce their best football in the Euro rose? I
:42:07. > :42:10.thought before the tournament started that they were going to get
:42:11. > :42:15.some result and I still think that. They can keep clean sheets. They got
:42:16. > :42:18.three Premier League centre-backs at the heart of their defence. If they
:42:19. > :42:28.concede a goal, they struggle. But they can win 1-0 and draw against
:42:29. > :42:33.big nations, 0-0. Don't hold out yet, I think they are a good team. I
:42:34. > :42:41.wanted to show you these two before we went today. Two things we noticed
:42:42. > :42:47.today. This is Corluka preparing for the next game. That sums him up.
:42:48. > :42:56.Goodlad Chris Wratt yes! And this is how Petr Cech has been preparing.
:42:57. > :43:01.Have you seen that before? I have seen like a cricket catching cradle,
:43:02. > :43:05.but never seen heating bottles. What if the bottle hits you in the face?
:43:06. > :43:11.Could be a classic footballers injury. I guess it is whatever gets
:43:12. > :43:15.you that extra little 10%. Gentlemen, massive thank you to you
:43:16. > :43:18.tonight. Have a good sleep everybody, we will be back tomorrow
:43:19. > :43:25.for the big one, England against Wales and the wait is finally over.
:43:26. > :43:33.I must ask this of you, England, what shall we see question at the
:43:34. > :43:38.promise and only that, of ancients turned grey. Free yourself England,
:43:39. > :43:58.rise like Lions. The Dragon. Gayle for Wales! --
:43:59. > :44:01.Gareth Bale for Wales! Spread your wings.
