He is and he doesn't seem to care if he hurts another footballer.

Enjoy that win because they won't get lucky again. England will batter them.

A lively match in many ways. Wales earned that.

Wales unquestionably the better team overall, Slovakia were only really on top for the 10-15 minutes after they scored.

That spell really ended once the substitutions were made, and I for one thought Hal Robson-Kanu was tremendous after he came on and deserved the winning goal.

Aaron Ramsey also deserved to be the man who created it, as he really seemed to play a vital role holding the ball upfield after the substitutions were made.

There are a few 'Skertels' around to be fair to him.

A bit unnecessary - shame. It's been a jovial and nice atmosphere till you butted in.

I wish England all the best against Russia.

All I ask is the England team put in as much effort and commitment and play with as much passion as the Wales team did.

Good luck with that hope, as I think that you may be somewhat disappointed.

They've just about shaded it IMO......they rode their luck at times, but hey that's football
Yeah, I added a bit on to the orginal post. I think the only 'wrong' result on the balance of play would've been a Slovakia win. As such, they can't really complain about losing. Sometimes when you maybe could make a case for deserving a point, you're going to lose. You should try and play so well that even if things don't go for you, you still get a point, although that's a bit of an obvious statement.

He can hardly speak at times. The way he stumbles over his words.

Agree, some people are very negative and ruin the atmosphere.

I'm not Welsh but nice to see them win here.

Christ this is all going to get very embarrassing if the home nations all start doing better than us
We should be insulated after the Rugby World Cup!!

It was horrendous, not a single intelligent point made from what I saw and terrible bias. ITV leading the way with the commentators and pundits.

Credit to Wales - came under pressure and lost the lead but merited the win.

Well, try listening to commentary in Spain or Italy when their teams are playing ;p
