That rainbow armband is a really nice touch. <3

I haven't been able to watch much of the Euro matches because I have been away from home for most. Can someone explain the situation of England and Wales in the group? If I'm not mistaken, if England lost this match, they wouldn't be able to qualify (except if they were one of the select 3rd-placed teams), but what are the chances of Wales going forward now after the loss? They have to win the next match?

If Wales win, they're automatically through. But if they lose or get a draw, then it gets more complicated and depends on Slovakia. If Wales lose their next match and Slovakia win theirs, then Wales will have 3 points, Slovakia 6, England 4, and Russia 4. So Wales will be out. If Wales draw and Slovakia win, then Wales will have 4 points, Slovakia 6, England 4 and Russia 2. There is still a chance of qualifying, and the same happens if both Wales and Slovakia draw which would mean that both will have 4 points. But if Slovakia lose, a draw for Wales will be enough to get them through.

I see. Thanks a lot for the info! I want Wales (and England) to go through. :)

I've watched far less than I would have liked so far. And it won't improve cause I'm on holiday the next two weeks.

Germany-Poland was not that great. I think both teams simply cancelled each other out. There were a lot of battles and not a lot of creativity. Which was a bit of shame. But you see it more and more in tournaments.
I do hope Wales goes through too. And well done Northern Ireland. You proved that you deserved your chance with the big boys.
