    Thought I'd pop a thread up seeing as we have some involvement keeping all the commentary, news and views under one thread...

    Unimpressed with the start, the motorised toy vehicle bringing the ball onto the pitch. Ridiculous! Whatever, 38 minutes in, nearly all Italy... 1-0 win for Turkey then.

    Italy played well - looked impressive.

    Turkey rather defensive.

    Almost as if they were hoping to nick a point and then rely on winning their other games.

    Agreed. Turkey could not execute their plan but looked a threat going forward. Italy look like a team on a mission!

    I had a quick look and found that was enough. The tennis was more compelling.

    It reminded me of our most recent cup final appearance it was that one sided.

    Hope that Wales do well with Rob Page as stand-in manager.

    I enjoyed this bit - but didn't bother watching the rest.

    I love the Euros/World Cups. 2nd half of the game was great last night, and looking forward to nearly all the games this weekend.

    France v Germany on Tuesday should be good. Not getting my hopes up for Ingerlund tomorrow though <laugh>

    Yes - big game for them today.

    A win against the Swiss will set Wales up nicely.

    The stats after 35minutes make similar reading to last night's match but it doesn't appear to me that Wales are being played off the park as Turkey were.

    After 45 minutes however, Wales are riding their luck. To say the least!

    Wales a bit fortunate but they’ll take it.

    Moore’s header was good .

    Dreadful scenes in the Denmark game as Christian Eriksen appears to have collapsed and there is one of those horrible moments when the crowd have gone silent.
