    Can't say they haven't had the chances. Great save there though.

    The finishing has been awful in this game.

    Early nerves an poor finishing cost Albania there. Keeper had a good game after the early cock up. Thought they deserved a point. Switzerland tidy in attack but Romania will fancy they can beat them after the European they played last night.

    just watching the preview to the welsh game and It got me thinking that monkey man Bale could become one of the best/successful players to ever come out of this isle. seems like a nice bloke an all.

    Great free kick, shoddy keeping.

    As an Englishman we could do with a draw here.

    As a Brit... Excellent :)

    Some very poor keeping in all the games so far.

    Wales are playing like a Premier League team and Slovakia cant handle the tempo... Why dont England do this, instead we slow down like everyone else!!

    How is that not a penalty to Wales? The assistant was two foot away!
  • Ref having very good game imo

    To go all Ron Manager for a moment, anywhere else on the pitch and that is a free kick.

    what is the point of those officials behind the goal. somebody must know? we've got goal line technology now so its not for that and by the looks of that blatant elbow they're not there to give penalties. seriously what is the point of them??

    You didn't think Skrtel assaulting the Welsh bloke was a foul then?

    I don't think I ever seen one do anything other than stoop. Never seen one signal for a foul or advise the ref on anything. Having extra officials to help out the traditional 1+2 is a good idea, but when they have the poisitioned is pointless.

    Yann Sommer had a fantastic game

    Are they showing the contentious incidents in the stadium in this tournament? Seemed to be another reaction in the ground when the replay was on.

    The fckin goal line ref was 2ft away from it, he should have called it.

    Perhaps I should have phrased it keepers making costly mistakes thus far.

    Hamsik is collecting the ball too deep to cause damage. Slovakia are trying to go through the three man centre defence and congested centre with tippy tappy football. Wales will soak that up all day.

    Agree.

    But the ref didn't think it worth consulting him?

    Shite goalkeeping, Mark Wright's free kick was better and Kielty would have saved it. Hamsik is a very good footballer, that run through the heart of the defence deserved a goal
