In case you haven't hard, there's going to a pretty big match going down on Thursday. Apart from England having to win the game after inexplicably getting only a point against Russia, there is the undercurrent of this being a local rivalry. To add spice to the soup, Bale has opened up with a few words to make this encounter even more hyped up.
Bale has claimed that the Welsh are more passionate, are more together and that no English player would get into their team. I don't know about the last comment, but if ever England needed anything to fire them up, these comments did just that and this could come back to haunt Bale if the Three Lions put on a clinic on Thursday.
It's all about what happens on the pitch and Bale and his teammates need to put all their focus on that game, rather than getting in an amicable war of words.
I can't wait for the game and I have a feeling that this could be the most emotional and energetic game in the whole tournament. It probably won't be the best in terms of quality of football, but as far as how the atmosphere will be like, it could be memorable. Especially with how the results have gone and England needing a victory more than Wales, it's all setup for both teams to go on the offensive against each other.
Hopefully we can get a winner. It ending as a draw means no team has the bragging rights, but that result would suit Wales a lot more than England. I want to see a great match and a winner. These Euros have got up to a great start where all teams, big and small, have gone on the attack resulting in really great games. Hopefully this fixture continues that and the passion and emotion is revved up to eleven out of ten. HH
