England, thanks to the goals of substitutes Vardy and Sturridge, were able to beat Wales and came out on top in Group B. Match review from Readfootball. com
After the controversial first match against Russia, a completely different England team was expected from Hodgson, but the conservative specialist released all the same players: Kane at the forefront of the attack, Sterling on the left, and Rooney deep in midfield. But the Welsh mentor Coleman encouraged the author of the winning goal in the match against Slovaks Robson-Kanu, releasing it today from the first minutes.
The British derby was not expected to have an abundance of goals, but the cautious style of play quickly got bored and began to fall asleep. The British showed all the same problems as in the first fight against Russia: lack of match in the middle line and attack, few penetrating passes and a lot of marriage in the center of the field. Wales tried to play as simple football as possible: send the ball towards Bale, and he will figure out what to do next.
The first dangerous moment was created by the British at the end of the seventh minute. Adam Lallana broke through on the right flank and shot into the goalkeeper's area, from where Sterling managed to punch past the frame. Subsequently, the "lions" several times got to the Welsh penalty area, but did not have such obvious opportunities to score. Dangerously after the setbacks, Kane and Smalling punched their heads, but Hennessy played this match at a height.
And in the 42nd minute, Wales was able to take the lead. Gareth Bale struck powerfully from the set, the ball flew around the wall and sank into the right corner. Hart reached the projectile with his fingertips, but could not change the trajectory of its flight, 0-1. During the break, Hodgson decided on a double substitution, removing Sterling and Kane from the field. They were replaced by Sturridge and Vardy, the protagonists of the second half.
But right after leaving the locker room, England could not pin down Wales. The rivals continued to play on a collision course and Hennessy was out of work for a long time. In the 55th minute, Wayne Rooney with an elegant feint removed two opponents and shot into the right corner of himself - the goalkeeper was in place, moving the ball to the corner. After serving from the set, Williams unsuccessfully heads the ball, the projectile flew off Vardy, who shot Hennessy and equalized the score on the scoreboard, 1-1!
The goal scored gave the British confidence, they ran to finish off the opponent, but Wales held out and gradually calmed the game down. From the seventieth minute it seemed that both teams agreed to a draw, although for the British it could become fatal.
At the 92nd minute, Daniel Sturridge, who had previously scored a couple of inaccurate strikes, decided to play combination football. The Englishman came running from the left flank, gave a penetrating pass to Vardy, who tried to play back, but the ball got to Allie, who brought Sturridge to the shock position with an elegant pass and the Liverpool forward did not miss, 2-1!
One goal turned the situation in Group B upside down. Now Wales is in third place and is obliged to beat the Russian national team in the last round. And the British broke into the leaders of the quartet and now can afford to play with Slovakia in a draw.

Unexpectedly for many, but after the first round in Group B, the leader was the national team of Wales, which defeated Slovakia. The national team of England, despite dominating the match with Russia, scored only one point, conceding a goal at the very end of the meeting. Therefore, the founders of football from the very beginning found themselves in an unusual atmosphere for themselves.
They have to find a way out of the situation today. The British derby is one of the most uncompromising imaginable. On the scale of the current European Championship - for sure.
These teams met among themselves only twice. It was in 2012, and the British won both times: 2: 0 and 1: 0, respectively.
But the inspired Wales, which for the first time on major tournament since 1958, will probably want to maintain a leadership position. Fortunately, there is a person in the team who can single-handedly get the result: Gareth Bale, with all his fantastic speed, leads the Welsh to the playoffs. True, he had never had such a strong rival as young and perky England.
How will things be today? Will the Real Madrid forward score? Or will Wayne Rooney and company be stronger? We will find out the answers to these and many other questions very soon!

England squad
British in the second match group stage most likely, they will not be surprised by the starting line-up. On the field in England national team all those players who started in the match against the Russians will come out. So, the gate will be protected by Hart; in defense - Rose, Smalling, Cahill, Walker; midfield - Dyer and Allie will play closer to their goal, while Sterling, Rooney and Lallana are closer to striker Kane. The coach of the English national team is Roy Hodgson.
England footballers in the distant 1966 became world champions. In the same tournament, the British managed to reach the quarterfinals in 1954, 1962, 1970, 1986, 2002, 2006. In 1968 and 1996 they took third place at the European Championships. At Euro 2004 and 2012, they reached the quarter finals.
Wales squad
The Welsh after the victory over the Slovaks lead the group. In the match against England, the starting line-up of the team will not change, i.e. will remain the same as in the previous game against Slovakia. The wing players will play more defensively in this meeting and thus the Welsh will showcase defensive football with five defenders. Goalkeeper - Ward; defenders - Taylor, Williams, Davis, Chester, Gunther; in the center of the field - Ramsey, Edwards and Allen; attack - Williams and, of course, Bale.

England v Wales 16 june 2016: bookmakers prediction
Undoubtedly, a tense match between England and Wales (Group B at Euro 2016) is to be expected. The British, after losing two points, will try their best to win this fight, and the Welsh will wait for the chances and try to realize them. Based on the first games of the wards of Hodgson and Coleman, we can say with complete confidence that both one and the second can easily win. The confrontation between the two teams will end either in a draw or in the victory of one of the teams with a difference of one goal.
Not all teams have played their matches in the first round yet, but some football encounters are worth mentioning. So, the Russian national team managed to surprise. Despite the sluggish and boring game Russian footballers managed to play a draw with the English team. And the most interesting and beautiful match today is the match between the national teams of Turkey and Croatia.
Roy Hodgson took the risk, and it paid off. The British were inferior in the long run, but eventually snatched three points and became the leaders of Group B. The substitutes Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge scored once, whose goal in stoppage time brought the “Three Lions” victory.
In the first half, hardly anyone could have foreseen such a denouement. The teams followed the same scenario: England had the initiative, and Wales did not go for high pressure to keep the formation compact. Roy Hodgson's squad rarely managed to crack open the opposition, and Raheem Sterling did not take advantage of England's best scoring chance when he missed completing a counterattack after Adam Lallana's pass.
Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling and Harry Kane threatened the Wales goal from the second floor after the set. The replay showed that after hitting the Tottenham striker, the ball first hit the head and then into the hand of Welsh defender Ben Davis.
And then it was Gareth Bale's time. The Real Madrid player decided to shoot at goal with a direct free-kick from a rather impressive distance. However, Joe Hart could not cope with the twisted and dived ball in front of him.
Then Aaron Ramsey shot at Hart, and Wayne Rooney checked Wayne Hennessy, but only Jamie Vardy, who came on as a substitute during the break, managed to distinguish himself next. After releasing him and Daniel Sturridge, Hodgson changed the formation to 4-4-2, and it took the Leicester striker only 11 minutes to watch the ball after a failed clearance by the Welsh defenders and equalize the score with a shot at close range.
England threw all their forces, including young striker Marcus Rashford, into the assault on the Welsh goal, but Chris Coleman's team held the defensive at first - until Sturridge seeped through the defenders and sent the ball past Hennessy.
Man of the Match: Kyle Walker
The second number of the England national team proved to be excellent in attack, having completed seven lumbago on partners and made 22 accurate passes out of 40 at the enemy's goal. Incredible statistics for a full-back.
"Party at Jamie Vardy's House"
Leicester fans have chanted this chant all season, but it looks like the party is still going on. Vardy replaced Kane - the only player to have scored more goals in the 2015/16 FA - and while Wales' tight defenses kept him close, the forward has found another way to excel. Another chapter in his amazing biography.
Almost perfect Wales game
EURO participants need two ingredients for success: solid defense and strong personalities ahead. The five Welsh defenders played extremely disciplined and collected, and the flanks Neil Taylor and Chris Gunther did not even try to connect to the attacks. Bale, on the other hand, gives the Welsh hope of success, regardless of the opponent. Yes, they didn't manage to keep a draw with the British, but Wales will try his luck again in the match against Russia.
Reporters' view from the Felix Bollard-Delelis stadium
Simon Hart, England (
In the second round of the European Championship group stage, England won the first strong-willed victory in the European Championship. In the British derby, Roy Hodgson's team beat Wales.
In the first half, Gareth Bale led the Welsh forward after a free kick and Joe Hart's blunder, but after the break, the British played two substitutions. Jamie Vardy evened the score, and Daniel Sturridge brought the Three Lions three points in stoppage time.
The fundamental confrontation between neighboring England and Wales was the decoration of the second round of the group stage of the European Championship. Gareth Bale added fuel to the fire, saying the day before that none of the British are worthy of a place in the Welsh national team. “Dragons” successfully started their debut tournament, beating the Slovak national team in the opening match with a score of 2: 1. Chris Coleman's team was not significantly better than the rival and scored three points with some luck. But the “three lions” did not start well, having missed the victory over Russia in the very ending.
The British duel in Lance was closely watched by Russian fans. It was difficult to say which outcome of the meeting between the British and the Welsh suited the Russian team to a greater extent. Probably the most the best option for the team of Leonid Slutsky would have been a draw in the reporting match.
Roy Hodgson has been criticized for his squad selection and over-caution against Russia. However, the England coach unexpectedly did not make a single start change. Corner kicks this time were performed not by Harry Kane, but by Wayne Rooney, that is, Hodgson still made some conclusions. But in the national team of Wales, there were three permutations. The place in the goal was taken by the more experienced Wayne Hennessy, Joe Ledley appeared in the center of the field, and Hal Robson-Kanu acted in the attack, who scored the winning goal against Slovakia after coming on as a substitute. Interestingly, 19 players from both teams represented the Premier League, 2 from the Championship, and only Gareth Bale defended spanish football, although earlier the Welshman also performed in England.
The England national team tried to actively enter the game, applying active pressure in the opening on the other side of the field. The first good moment at the gate of Wayne Hennessy did not have to wait long. Harry Kane, during a high-speed attack from the central zone, made a pass to the right to Adam Lallana, who made a quality pass to penalty area on Sterling, but Raheem did not hit the goal from close range. The Wales national team relied on the game from defense, which was reasonable given the standings. A draw could suit Chris Coleman's charges, because with the current format of the European Championship, four points are most likely passing points in the playoffs.
Around the 32nd minute, the English fans had serious questions to the chief referee of the match. Near the gate of the Welsh national team, the ball landed in the hand of Ben Davis, although the defender did not see a game projectile in the fight. Surely it was this fact that was guided by Felix Brykh, who did not assign a penalty. Five minutes later, Roy Hodgson's team created a quality moment after setoff. Wayne Rooney filed to the right of the corner flag and Chris Smalling hit his head - the ball flew close to the left post. Tried to tweak the game projectile Harry Kane, but did not reach a little.
In the 42nd minute of the game, the score was opened, and the Welsh unexpectedly took the lead. Gareth Bale from a free-kick from a long distance inflicted a strong beat- the ball flew in a downward trajectory, but not to the very corner, which should have made it easier for Joe Hart. Nevertheless, the senior England goal made a mistake, and the ball flew from his gloves into the net!
During the break, Roy Hodgson made two substitutions at once, trying to refresh and strengthen the attack. Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane went to rest, with Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy joining the game. The England national team quickly took the initiative to their feet, and Wales was leading a large number of defensive actions. Around the 55th minute from middle distance Wayne Rooney punched the technique in the corporate style, but Wayne Hennessy turned the ball for a corner. And soon the “three lions” still equalized the score. Jamie Vardy literally shot the Welsh goalkeeper from outside the goalkeeper after a rebound. It seemed that the forward was clearly offside, but the side referee worked great when he saw the ball bounced to Vardy from Ashley Williams.
On the courage, the British continued large forces Attack. Eric Dyer had a good opportunity to distinguish himself, but not in the best way the midfielder struck with his left foot from outside the penalty area. Roy Hodgson's wards continued to often complete attacks with shots on goal, but often the ball hit the defenders of the Wales national team. In the 73rd minute, the England coach threw into the fight the young Marcus Rashford, whose career has developed very rapidly over the past few months. Now the forward has recorded his debut at the European Championship in his track record. It was difficult for Rashford to prove himself, because Wales defended with the whole composition, including Gareth Bale.
England continued to attack, and in stoppage time, luck smiled at Roy Hodgson's wards. The protracted attack of the “three lions” ended with an accurate shot by Daniel Sturridge from outside the penalty area. The British came out on top in the group, having won the first strong-willed victory at the European Championship.
