I thought it might be worth starting a thread for those that are interested.

The Wales - Turkey game tonight is the most entertaining I have seen so far, with inspirational performances from Bale and Ramsey.

I was really encouraged by England on Sunday. A fearless performance, with a lot more energy and confidence than we have seen in the past. I think we might give the Scots a good hiding on Friday, although winning the group will probably result in a game against Portugal or Germany in the next round.

France beat a fairly average Germany without breaking sweat last night, and certainly look the strongest side overall.

Wales really made hard work of it Though a 2-0 win is a good win, onto the next round now. England would be better off finishing second in their group as it looks like it would give then an easier last sixteen game.

Italy looked impressive although against a poor team, I expect them to win again tonight.

It will be a battle on Friday but England should have too much for Scotland.

Thought Germany were fairly average and Spain not much better, I fancy France to win it.

I actually thought Wales thoroughly deserved to win tonight. They have got a great team spirit, and with Bale, Ramsey and James they actually have more quality than a lot of sides.

Yes, I thought Wales were very good tonight. They would still struggle against the better teams but they showed good work rate and spirit and deserved the win. Bales penalty was a shocker though.

Another good win for Italy who haven’t really been tested yet. I thought the Swiss were very poor.

Italy are a hardworking, efficient team, but I don't think they have got enough really top players to actually win it.

Big game tonight I fancy an England win 2 0 kane and sterling with the goals.

I'm not a fan of var but it is being used so much better and so much quicker than in the prem and in the main the refs are letting games flow

It’s actually a little refreshing to see refs waving on play and booking players for diving or falling over at the slightest touch, something that has bugged me for years.

A disappointing performance, with the England players failing to cope with the pressure of the game and rise to the challenge. Lethargic in and out of possession.

However, we have now effectively qualified for the next round.
