Gareth Bale and his Wales team-mates have started their historic Euro 2016 campaign in fine fashion. Goals from the Real Madrid star and Hal Robson-Kanu gave Chris Coleman's side a 2-1 win over Slovakia last Saturday, their first victory (and game, for that matter) at a major tournament since the 1958 FIFA World Cup.
England, held to a 1-1 draw with Russia in their opener, take on the Group B leaders next. Thursday's clash is also a somewhat unprecedented occasion for them—a rare chance for this Premier League generation to take on an assortment of familiar Welsh peers and foes in the colours of their country, rather than their club.
