Congratulations to Wales on a fine performance, albeit against a feeble Russian team, with Bale now leading goalscorer in the competition so far. They now win the group whereas Roy Hodgson made a mess of his changed line-up with the possibility of facing Portugal in the next round, assuming Portugal make it that far.
One also notes that the USA has reached the semi-finals of the Copa America, where they will play Argentina. Good luck with that one!

Great game by Wales. :D great execution, russians played with little innovation! Also It seems that postgame it was quite calm, which is good, I hear the main hooligan bastards left France that same day when they caused the ruckus. ''Proved their might'' as they boast.
Today some fine games ahead as well, and on an unrelated note, Cavs finally won the NBA title! Great story line there. :)

(We) always over-estimate our players & the National team, probably down to ignorance and a lack of interest in other leagues. The English Premier league is not the best in the world and contains lots of talent from Europe and South America, managers & players alike. The English players assume they are superstars and heroes just by simply wearing the England shirt. Personally; I think they are a disgrace, they treated Iceland like a Sunday morning pub side & paid the price! The media don't help too.
The Manager must take some responsibility, he didn't choose players "in form" but stuck with household names.
Good luck to Iceland but I suspect they won't get past France in next round.
For me, Italy & Germany are the best two teams left but they play each other in the next round!

It was a bizarre day having seen Italy playing with imagination and skill, and the best organized team in the competition, and then watch England but it did reveal the chasm in quality between European and English teams. The FA are rolling in money and have done surveys that showed them how Spain and Germany have developed country-wide scouting and coaching to both identify and nurture talent where in the UK we just hope for the best that some lad will emerge off Hackney Marshes and be the next Bobby Moore, whereas these days the England team might as well be our entry in the next Eurovision Song Contest.
