Best part of the tournament so far:

I have never figured out why TV shows humans doing animal type of things......its gross and really adds nothing to what is being broadcast. Of course unless its an O's game when they are facing a knuckleball pitcher....lol

77th minute, England and Wales tied at 1.

[BSLChrisStoner]

England with the lead, scoring in the 91st.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Now official.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

England had the better of the play the entire game and deserved the W. They were fortunate to comeback from the 1-0 defecit against a compact Wales defense. Shows how absolutely critical it is to avoid giving up dangerous free kicks to a team that has a world class player like Gareth Bales. It can be very tough to score in these kinds of matches and a free kick is sometimes the difference maker.

 

Good for the Three Lions and they look now to win the group.

I was surprised that this was the first time England came back to win after trailing at half time in a major tournament.

Poland and Germany tie.

Hooligans ruined what could have been a great match for Croatia. They were leading the Czech Republic when the fans staged what was a planned protest. So freaking stupid and now UEFA and FIFA are considering disciplinary sanctions. And the Croatian players were so upset they totally lost focus and ended up conceding a late PK and tied.

England are kicking off soon (3:00 ET) against Slovakia on ESPN, while Russia and Wales clash on ESPN2. These matches close Group B play.

[Don Quixote]

As the second halves begin, England and Slovakia are engaged in a scoreless draw, while Wales lead Russia 2-0.

[BSLChrisStoner]

England and Slovakia still nil-nil, 77th minute.

[Don Quixote]

Wales added a third in dismissing Russia, and England found themselves unable to do better than the scoreless draw against Slovakia. Wales win Group B, England advance in second, and Slovakia will wait to see if they are one of the top four third-place teams. Russia are eliminated.

Good. 

 

Screw Russia.

Well my pre tourney favorite for the Golden Boot, Ronaldo, was a one man show for Portugal today. Two goals and an assist so Portugal is through to the knockouts with three ties. But watch out now. That guy, when he gets on a roll, is every bit the player Messi is and now they both look to be hitting stride at the right time for thier respective countries.

Iceland advancing was impressive....

 

The announcer going bonkers was even more impressive.
