WATCH: Joe Allen officially arrives at Euro 2016 with a sumptuous assist for Aaron Ramsey

The Welsh Xavi/Pirlo

Patrick McCarry

Xavi or Ronaldo? Take your pick.

While you are at it, Joe Allen will keep picking passes.

Russia are in a Euro 2016 sinkhole against Wales and they don’t look pushed about scrambling out.

Half pushed owners of one point thus far, the Russian fans have made more of an impact with their off-field antics. Their team are inspiring anger with their dross during matches.

Wales went in 2-0 up at half-time after Welsh goals from Aaron Ramsey and Neil Taylor. The assist for Ramsey’s goal came courtesy of Allen’s slide-rule pass.

Sure watch it again, it’s a thing of beauty.

Pirlo is the Italian Joe Allen.
