England Wales Fan Jokes For Euro 2016 Are Flying On Twitter

England vs. Gareth Bale, 2pm.

Things are hotting up around Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens ahead of England's clash with the newly inspired Welsh national team, who are competing in their first major international tournament in over half a century.

While the news is clouded with reports of football fans being not very nice to each other or other people, we thought it'd be a good idea to point out all the friendly joking going on between the two nations ahead of the match.

A lot of people a helping one another figure out ways to slyly sneak away from work to watch Roy's boys take on the Dragons

And people on both sides were shocked at England manager Roy Hodgson's decision to play the same team that drew with Russia in their last match
