Wales and Slovakia may not be two of the most heralded international sides in Euro 2016, but they have two things working in their favor as they set to square off in Group B action: they have Gareth Bale and Marek Hamsik, who are two of the most fun attacking players you’ll see in the entire tournament.

Bale led a resurgent Wales side to a wildly impressive qualifying campaign, using his superlative talents to help lead his side to glory, reaching the Euros for their first time ever. This is also the first trip for Slovakia, and while their campaign was quieter than Wales’ headline-grabbing effort, Hamsik and his side earned huge wins over Spain and Ukraine in their group. They also have recent wins over fellow Euro competitors Switzerland and Iceland, as well as a massive 3-1 win over Germany during their warmup friendlies for the Euros.
Both of these sides are much better than you probably think they are, and they’re going to prove that when they go head-to-head.
