Group B: Wales vs Slovakia - KO 5pm, BBC1/HD
The game will also be on BBC Radio 5 Live and on the BBC Sport website and App.
Wales are in a major tournament for the first time since the 1958 World Cup, Slovakia make their first appearance in the finals of the European Championship since the break-up of Czechoslovakia. Only 2 previous meetings between the nations but with plenty of goals. In 2006 Slovakia won 5-1 in Wales, and a year later the Welsh got revenge by winning 5-2 in Slovakia. Can Chris Colemans men get off to a flyer? |

Yeah a back problem. Makes it easier to want Wales to lose though.

@BBCWalesSport Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has been ruled out of their Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia today because of a back spasm. |

A bunch of Wales ass kissing coming up from the BBC. I'm hoping for a draw personally, 4-4

I will take a draw in this, anything so that no-one is too far ahead before we kick off later.

NI drew 0-0 with Slovakia in their last friendly. We were defending nearly the whole match.

I find it hard to contemplate Chris Coleman managing in a European Championships after the pigs ear he made in the actual Championship with us. I know he's got some talented players with Wales but nobody can convince me Bale is that much better than Clinton Morrison.

What an odd looking stadium.
Never mind modelled on the Allianz Arena and the Bird's Nest, it looks like it's been modelled on a Kleenex box. |
