Looking at the race for best third placed team

Group A

Romania v Albania - Anything other than a Romanian win or a huge Albanian win.

Group C
A heavy Northern Irish defeat to Germany.

Group D
Czech Republic v Turkey - Anything other than a Czech Republic win

Group E
Belgium and Italy to not lose their games to Sweden and Ireland respectively

Group F
Hungary to beat Portugal (would be great to see Ronaldo out before Iceland).

What we need is for our manager to set us up to go out and beat Russia and not play for a draw and possibly we might even win the group especially where England think Slovakia are just a push over

It is in Wales' own hands to be fair.

Thanks for that BIS, has saved me spending the day working out the permutations!!!

Yes, it's in our hands and a point should be enough.

Slight disadvantage being the second group to complete. Let's hope we're not biting our finger nails until 10.00pm on Wednesday.

Yep thanks for posting that. I thought your post on this was a like premature last week. Not now. We now know who needs what. Pot E looks our best hope followed by C and then A. We could have done without Northern Ireland scoring a second goal.

That's pretty sobering reading. I really hope the lads can get some sort of result against Russia.

Group F should be OR not AND.

If Hungary beat Portugal, Portugal are left on 2 points - Iceland 2, Austria 1. If Austria beat Iceland, it will be Hungary 7, Austria 3, Iceland 2, Portugal 2. If Austria and Iceland draw, it is Hungary 7, Iceland 3, Portugal 2, Austria 2. If Iceland win, Hungary 7, Iceland 5, Portugal 2, Austria 2.

So, Group F only requires Hungary to beat Portugal.

Albania are beating Romania at the moment, if that stays the same that'll be one ticked off before we kick a ball.

As long as we don't lose by three or more goals!!!!

I assume it'll be goal difference followed by goals scored?

Reports are saying England could rest up to 6 players for tonight's game with Slovakia. Massive gamble that is considering they'd be looking to win the group by beating the Slovaks. old Woy must think it's won already.

It sounds worse than it is. Two of the changes are obvious - Sturridge and Vardy start. He's changing the fullbacks, but bringing in Clyne and Bertrand who are both very quick and decent enough. Rooney being rested is about the only one to raise any eyebrows.

Not so much a gamble as improving the team, I'm sorry to say.

Added to that you have players coming in wanting to stake a claim on starting places for the knockout stages
