Today’s three match TV
binge included Wales’ win over Slovakia and England’s draw with Russia and was
instructive on how much luck (normally relating to a deflection or a decision) plays
a part in football - the relative scarcity of scoring means that in any one
game a slice of fortune, good or ill, can be decisive - contributing greatly to
its peculiar attraction, producing frustratingly and delightfully unpredictable
results; while, for England, Lallana’s and Rooney’s sweetly hit volleys arrowed
straight into the goalkeeper’s midriff, Welsh goals came from a scuffed finish
from Robson-Kanu and a free kick from Bale that would have also found the
keeper’s stomach had he not inexplicably moved out of its way.
