    Oh wait, it's a Lens, Switzerland hotel

    There's nothing like finding that perfect spot to stay in the centre of town...

    Two Welsh football fans got a shock when they realised they had accidentally booked a hotel in Lens, Switzerland, instead of Lens, France, for the team's Euro 2016 game against England last week.

    The Pontypridd men had spent £230 (300 euros) on the accommodation before realising their error in France.

    Still, at least the Football Supporters' Federation Cymru were able to lend a helping hand.

    "We were trying not to laugh," said Vince Alm, of FSF.

  6. Get Involved - is Bale Wales' greatest ever player?published at 19:00

    #bbceuro 2016

    Jarek: John Charles is the King of Welsh Football. Fact. Bale is the prince. The way JC is revered in Turin pays testament to that.

    Lost in the Pond: Gareth Bale is phenomenal and will one day go down in Welsh footballing history. But surely Giggs is Wales' best ever player.

  7. England v Wales highlightspublished at 18:57 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    It could all have been so different for Wales, had they not blown their lead against England on Thursday. 

    They led 1-0 through Gareth Bale but Roy Hodgson's subs changed the game - with Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge turning it around.

    Slovakia v England (20:00 BST)

    England have made six changes to their line-up for the game against Slovakia.

    Wales fans can look at that either way. It might be good news because if Wales win and England don't, Chris Coleman's side would win the group.

    But, if Wales don't win today, they can't afford for Slovakia to beat England if they want automatic qualification.

    We have had confirmation that striker Sam Vokes starts in place of Hal Robson-Kanu as Wales' only change from Thursday's 2-1 defeat against England.

    It is a big call from manager Chris Coleman, who might have doubts over Robson-Kanu's ability to play two matches in quick succession having only recently recovered from injury.

    Wales XI: Hennessey; Gunter, Chester, Williams, Davies, Taylor; Allen, Ledley, Ramsey; Bale; Vokes.

  10. 'Wales need to do more'published at 18:46 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    'Ramsey needs to do less'

    Former Wales striker John Hartson says defence is not a problem for the Welsh but says the team needs to be better in possession.

    "We created next to nothing against England," he said. "It was backs-against-the-wall stuff."

    He also says Aaron Ramsey will be key.

    "His enthusiasm is to be really admired, but sometimes I would like him to play in one midfield position rather than try to do everything," Hartson said.

    Burnley striker Sam Vokes will start in place of Hal Robson-Kanu for Wales in their only change from the loss to England, as our man in Toulouse, Dafydd Pritchard, suggested earlier.

  12. Here's some stats on Wales' star manpublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    No, not James Chester

    Wales have scored with their opening shot on target in each of their first two games at Euro 2016; both were direct free-kicks from Gareth Bale.

    Since the start of the Euro 2016 qualifiers, Gareth Bale has scored or assisted 11 of Wales’ 14 goals in competitive games (79%), the highest ratio among teams to have made it to this year’s finals.

    Bale has scored two goals from direct free-kicks in his first two games, only Michel Platini (1984) and Thomas Hassler (1992) have scored as many in a Euro tournament since 1980, when Opta started doing detailed stats.

    However, his passing completion stats in this tournament are 58%, compared to the 80% he averaged in La Liga in the season just finished.

    Gareth Bale's immense qualifying form - and his two goals in two games in France - has got me thinking...

    Is he Wales' greatest ever player? John Charles is often considered a British footballing great, but is Bale even better?

    Or do you prefer Neville Southall or Ian Rush?  

    Does Bale's legacy depend on how far Wales go in France?

    Wales have reached a special agreement with Uefa, which means they can wear their red home kit tonight.

  16. Vokes in line for surprise start?published at 18:23 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    Wales manager Chris Coleman is expected to keep faith with the vast majority of the team beaten by England in their previous outing.

    However, there is speculation striker Sam Vokes could make his first appearance of Euro 2016 in place of Hal Robson-Kanu.

    Vokes enjoyed an excellent season with Burnley – scoring 15 league goals as they won promotion to the Premier League – while Robson-Kanu might be a candidate for squad rotation having only recently returned from injury.

    That's what has been reported this week, however...

  18. Early team newspublished at 18:20 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    Wales boss Chris Coleman is expected to name the same side who started the defeat by England.

    Midfielder Joe Ledley was a doubt after he was substituted in the second half of last Thursday's match with a tight calf, but he has declared himself fit.

    Gareth Bale is the key figure again for Wales and has scored in the previous two group games with free-kicks.

    "I put a lot of practice in," the 26-year-old Real Madrid forward said.

    "Even now after training, I'm there for an extra 10 or 15 minutes hitting balls and doing what I normally do when I'm at Madrid and when I was at Tottenham."

    We expect the line-up to be confirmed some time near 19:00 BST.

    BBC Radio 5 live kicked off its coverage of tonight's Group B games from 18:00 BST, with former Wales international John Hartson joining Rob Phillips in Toulouse to look ahead to Chris Coleman's side's clash with Russia.

    At 18:30 BST you can catch the thoughts of another former Wales striker in Dean Saunders.

    Kevin Ratcliffe will also be on hand to lend his view as the action gets under way from 20:00 BST.

  20. Third-placed mathematicspublished at 18:10

    If Wales finish third in the group, it's not straightforward. It's not straightforward at all.

    There are two scenarios where they finish third in the group - if both Wales and Slovakia lose, or if Wales draw and Slovakia beat England.

    If that happens, well Wales have to hang around in France for two days to find out if they go through to the last 16 or not.

    Welcome to the confusing world of the third-placed table.

    The four best third-placed teams go through to the last 16. But we don't know if three or four points will be enough. And we won't until Wednesday when Groups F and E (the Republic of Ireland's group) play their final games.
