Wales road trip goes on despite defeat in Rome – Euro 2020 Football Daily

We start by analysing Wales’ 1-0 defeat to Italy in Rome, which was good enough for them to qualify for the last 16 for the second consecutive European Championships. How far can Wales go? And are Italy in perfect shape to go all the way after three wins from three?

Next, we touch upon Switzerland’s 3-1 win over Turkey, which will probably see them through to the latter stages. We celebrate some lovely goals in Baku, and ponder again over why Turkey failed miserably to live up to expectations.

Finally, we chat to Barney Ronay about why England fans shouldn’t panic, and also laud Torquay’s goalkeeper for scoring a 95th equaliser in the National League play-off final. Sadly for him, the Gulls still lost the penalty shootout to Hartlepool.
