Bale, brawl fears stalk England in Lens
Britain confronts the twin dangers of an exclusion cautioning if its fans act up and a super-inspired Gareth Bale in front of their Euro 2016 standoff with neighbors Wales in Lens on Thursday.
The ridiculous conflicts between opponent fans that defaced England's opening 1-1 attract with Russia Marseille at the weekend left Roy Hodgson's side confronting the danger of disposal from European representing body UEFA.
Britain midfielder Adam Lallana said that such a result would annihilate and Hodgson and group chief Wayne Rooney have discharged a video message arguing for quiet.
Be that as it may, with England and Wales fans having been encouraged to base themselves in adjacent Lille, where Russia played Slovakia on Wednesday, the development to the amusement will be wreathed with strain.
Police numbers will be helped in Lens, a mechanical city in northern France, with 2,400 security faculty in the city.
Of equivalent worry to Hodgson will be the risk postured by Real Madrid forward Bale, whose shocking 25-yard free-kick against Slovakia in Bordeaux set Wales on its way to a 2-1 win.
With England having dropped focuses against Russia, a second Group B annihilation would genuinely trade off its odds of staying in the opposition, and also moving Wales into the last 16.
Bunch raised the temperature even before his group's meeting with Slovakia, saying that England "huge themselves up before they've done anything" and that Wales play with "more energy and pride".
It drew a censure from Hodgson, who depicted the comments as "impolite", however Bale is remaining by what he said. "It's great that they bit," Bale told a public interview in Dinard on Tuesday.
"I truly couldn't care less what they say, to be completely forthright. We know we're a decent group and we know we can beat them on our day." Asked what number of England players would get into the Wales group, he smiled: "None."
Raheem Sterling's place might be under risk for England after a poor showcase on the left flank against Russia.
