Yeah, you are right, your prediction was correct. I didn't have you in mind because you didn't risk it and said a score like the others did, just the winner, but it's true that you were right.

Some more questions for football lovers: 1) Who will win the Copa America Centenario ("wait, is a Copa America even being played now?" )? 2) Who will win the Euro 2016? 3) How will your team fare (in case it's playing any of those tournaments)? For the more football savvy, you can also add side predictions like the revelation team, the disappointment, etc... dillwyn Buttler nickheynes Horacewimp skyclad1904 queenofthehours 21stcenturyman vlogdance and any other who would like to give his opinion.

I'll start auto-answering me:
1) Argentina, not because I want it but because I think our team is very superior to all the rest in the continent.
2) France.
3) See answer 1).
Revelation: Ecuador (Copa America), Iceland (Euro) -provided that Belgium no longer qualifies as a revelation-.
Disappointment: Brazil (Copa America), England (Euro... sorry, guys, but is there a more sure bet having in mind how they have done the last 25 years?).

1) Argentina, 2) Germany ...even without a striker 3) if we make past the group stage I will be happy.
france will be excellent sadly I fear NI, England and Wales will be home before the postcards

I can't really say anything but I will say this - Thought 1: I don't believe England will win. I think, Wales, maybe even NI, will get further than England. Thought 2: I think England will either crash out in the groups or go a long way giving us all hope and then lose spectacularly to France or Germany in a good old shoot out.

Have a good trip, dillwyn, and may Wales qualify. It could happen, both Slovakia and Russia are beatable, and even England has gotten defeated by worse teams, so who knows? Will you be attending the 3 games or just the game against Russia?

Will you be attending the 3 games or just the game against Russia? Sadly just the one game. I was offered tickets for all three but my son has exams next week so we have to work around those as they finish next Friday. My facebook newstream is full of my friends who are over there already and loving it. Welsh media is also full of it currently. Never mind it will be an adventure. The kick-off is at 9 pm so flights demand at last a one night stop over. I may even get to sample an odd glass of French wine A little moan though moaning what is it with the planners? ..England v Wales kicks off at 3 pm on a Thursday!

Well, have fun then and may Wales win!
On another note, how good is Messi! The guy plays half an hour and gets 3 goals and a brilliant assist.

Great victory, dillwyn, congrats! Watched the game cheering on Wales of course, you guys had to suffer like hell (that header off the post!) but got a great victory. Plus the Welsh support in the stands was fantastic, it was a sea of red and very loud.

Someone on Twitter has pointed out that when Wales play Russia, the hashtag will be #WALRUS.
