Ser Zlatan Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Three times as many matches as yesterday, so three times as much fun! Albania play their first Euro match ever at 15:00 (local time), against a Swiss team starring Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka. The second match of the day, at 18:00, marks two other Euro debuts: Wales vs Slovakia. Can Gareth Bale make the difference? And at 21:00, the match many of you have been waiting for: England takes on Russia. After winning all 10 qualification matches, the pressure on the talented but young and inexperienced English squad is high. Will they be able to defeat the tough and experienced Russians?

polishgenius Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The mighty Swiss, aided by the fact that most of their best players play for us, will smear poor pathetic Albania all over Lens! Interesting side-story here in the Xhaka brothers, who will line up one on each side- although I'm not sure Taluant is a regular starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read Russia have lost all their first choice midfielders to injury and their defence is made up of creaking geriatrics. Should be a fun game.

Consigliere Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Never seen Albania play before. I'm going for a 2-1 Swiss win, Slovakia to beat Wales 2-1 and England to run out 3-1/3-0 winners against Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdyphillip Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 So... As a supporter of Wales, am I supposed to be rooting for a 0-0 draw in the England/Russia match in the late game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Great battling effort by Albania with 10 men for most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Must say that I have been impressed with what I've seen of Albania. The look to be a well organised side and even after going down to ten men, they applied themselves very well, managed to maintain their shape and created a few good goalscoring opportunities. Albania will be disappointed not to get something out of this game after squandering two gilt edged one-on-ones with the GK. At this level, at least one of those has to go in. Overall though, the Swiss were the better side and worth the victory. I've also been a bit surprised at how open both games have been. I was expecting cagey affairs but both matches have had plenty of attacking play and have been great to watch. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
