England and Wales head into Monday's final Group B games at Euro 2016 still needing points to guarantee a place in the knockout stages.
England, who top the table after drawing with Russia and beating Wales, face Slovakia in Saint-Etienne.
Wales, who lie second after a win over Slovakia followed by a loss to England, take on Russia in Toulouse.
The top two teams qualify, but the third-placed side could also make it through to the next round in France.

Hodgson made 6 changes;
Slovakia need a point to really assure advancement.
Both of these should be good matches.
GOAL WALES!
2-0!!!!
Do Svidania Rossiya!
As it stands Wales and England go through, and Slovakia with 4 points, most likely should be in as well.
My kingdom for a goal.
Slovaks got away with a handball in the box.
Now this is how fans should be
Poland vs Northern Ireland, fans battle songs. “Ogórek” vs “Will Grigg’s on Fire”

Slovakia and Wales unless they get the really big teams, Spain, Germany, France and Italy could win in the next round. Poland, Croatia, conceivably could be difficult as well.
I thought at the beginning of the tournament, Wales since they have one of the best 3 players on the planet in my humble opinion, could make some noise in this tournament.
Bale has scored in all 3 games.
Wales was last in a major tournament in Sweden at the 1958 World Cup.
Wales had a tall player, thought to be real good, Sir John Charles, he got hurt playing Hungary.
Pele and Brazil defeated Wales without Charles; I think Wales still put up a good match from what I read.
So, Wales is pumped.
The groups are jumbled.
There will be some dangerous teams to play and I think that includes Wales and Slovakia. So, England at least, got them out of the way.
It's easy for many people to think Hodgson made a BIG foul-up in choosing his team and making all of those changes, six, and there are many articles on it. I'm not sure if England would have defeated Slovakia, described as 'mediocre' with their best.
Wales has a path to the final as well now; which is not bad in comparison. The path England would have if they had won the bloody group.
It sure does leave one scratching their head, if England go out early, surely, Roy will be fired. I think England have some things going for them. At the least, it's doing things the hard way.
Bale running in an open field. Tis a beautiful thing.
