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.

And Robbie Savage on commentary...? FFS BBC.

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.

I don't think it's too difficult to find reasons, to be honest; indeed, you've already mentioned one.

Just seen the Welsh team which confirms that Hennessey is out and will be replaced by Danny Ward, a 22 year old who's played two games for Liverpool and spent last season on loan at Aberdeen.

Quite a big day for the man.

The guy can barely speak, he always sounds drunk with him slurring his words.

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.

I saw Ward play for Aberdeen against Celtic last season, he is a decent keeper. Just hope he doesn't flake,

Super Furries is a better song.

I predict a Skrtel red card and a Welsh win
