Luke Shaw summed it up perfectly: It is the celebration which now defines England’s rivalry with Wales.
If I’m brutally honest, I feel exactly the same. I’ve always wanted Wales to do well, the fans are fantastic and a tournament is better for them being here. But when they actually come to play England… well, now it’s different. And personal. And I guess, rather petty. But that’s a rivalry for you.
It is all about a leaked video clip from Euro 2016 when the Wales players - including Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey - celebrated England’s defeat to Iceland and their humiliating demise. The whole squad was celebrating wildly and it really upset the England players at the time. Would they have done the same if Wales had lost? I doubt it.
