Wales vs Slovakia What a day for Wales. Fifty-eight years on from their last major tournament appearance, and a first-ever game at the European Championship finals, this has been a long wait for the nation. Chris Coleman’s side face Slovakia at 5pm with a huge wave of support from inside the ground and back home. And with Gareth Bale in the side, they’re hoping to get through the group stages and surprise a few over the next few weeks. Speaking ahead of today, skipper Ashley Williams says Coleman’s team talks will fire the team up. “He is good – he is emotional. If we are not doing the job he is quite calm about it but most of the other times, if we are doing well, he is quite emotional. “He is a good motivator, that is the main thing. He sets up the scene, whether it is the meeting in the hotel on the day of the game or the one just before we go out, his meetings are very good.”Gareth Bale's dipping free-kick gave Wales a half-time lead and sent their fans into rap
