Russia vs. Wales and England vs. Slovakia
England will qualify with a point and will top the group for certain with victory.
England will qualify with a point and will top the group for certain with victory.
- Wales will qualify with a win, and a draw will be enough if England do not lose; in the case of an English defeat and a Welsh draw, Wales would be third behind England on head-to-head record and would hope their four points would suffice to be one of the four best third-placed teams.
- Slovakia will qualify with a win and will finish second with a draw if Russia prevail. However, Slovakia would definitely be eliminated in fourth spot if they lose and Russia win.
- Russia require a victory to have any chance of progress. They can come second if they win and England lose, in which case the two teams would be split on overall goal difference or overall goals scored (or, if still equal, the disciplinary rankings after the third set of matches; or, after that, the coefficient rankings in which England would have the advantage) Per the Uefa website

Was happy for Wales. The way the teams are shaking out it would almost be better for Germany if they were 2nd rather than 1st. A lot of bigger teams to face on their current route. NI still sgould get through in 3rd place. More than I could ever have expected.....

So Portugal ruined my predictions and shame on me for doubting the Germans!!! Watching Belgium run rampant on Hungary, funny I thought Hungary were playing some nice soccer before opening the floodgates at the second Belgian goal. On a side note I think this is the first soccer game I have watched with a female commentator!!!

Griezmanns 2 goals sealed the win against Ireland.
Icelands win against a dysfunctional English team got them to todays game.
France is not England, scrappy Iceland has there hands full today.
