The 4 2nd-round games from Euro 2016 you have to watch

Round 1 of Euro 2016 is done, and we think it was a good one. A few more goals might have been nice, but we've already had truly joyous returns to international tournament football from Wales and Hungary, an abject stinker of a performance from Belgium, a deeply amusing smash-and-grab from tournament newbies Iceland, and Jogi Low embarrassing himself and his parents on national television. They didn't raise you to scratch and sniff in public, Jogi. Come on.

Though France got the win in their opening game, it's fair to say that they weren't exactly convincing in the process. Dimitri Payet's performance was encouraging and his winning goal brilliant, but various other parts of France's team failed to perform, and there are rumours that Dider Deschamps may decide to wield the axe/make use of his deep squad [delete according to level of Euro 2016 hysteria]. Even the sainted Paul Pogba may not be safe, as Kingsley Coman and Anthony Martial wait in the wings to, er, play on the wings.

As for Albania, though they lost their opening game, they have every right to come into this one with a little sense of injustice burning away. Not over Lorik Cana's red card, which was stupid, but over their failure, even with ten men, to nick a point from an unconvincing Switzerland. Can they keep eleven men on the pitch and frustrate France in the process? Maybe. But it's in Marseille, so even if they can't, the atmosphere should be decent.

England vs. Wales

Hot principality-on-governing-nation action! Though not a particularly moody rivalry -- except for Jack Wilshere, who always seems to be so angry -- the Wales-England fixture is the second-oldest in the history of international football and this, the 102nd occasion on which the two teams have met, is rather an important one. Wales go into the game buoyant and on top of the group, having beaten Slovakia by taking full advantage of their good moments and surviving, by the width of a post, their shaky ones. A draw would almost certainly send them through to the knockouts, and with Hal Robson-Kanu and Joe Ledley having made their returns from injury, Chris Coleman may be able to pick his first-choice team.

England, meanwhile, were markedly the better team against Russia, but poor finishing meant they went into the final minutes of their first game with just a one-goal lead, and a moment's defensive negligence meant they left it with a single point. Roy Hodgson is, therefore, in that awkward managerial place where he probably needs to do something -- Find a space for Jamie Vardy? Switch to a midfield diamond? -- but too much meddling might undo all the positives. A theoretically superior but slightly malfunctioning side taking on a technically inferior but coherent and confident one? Of such things are intrigue made. And if you want to make a day of it, there's another cross-border clash in the evening as Germany take on Poland. Derby-tastic.

Belgium vs. Republic of Ireland

Most of the strong teams at the tournament have been a little unconvincing, but Belgium were flat-out rubbish against Italy. This, then, is the chance to find out exactly how much of that was down to the Italians being excellent -- which they were -- and how much is down to Marc Wilmots' inability to make the most of the talent available to him. On their showing so far, this team simply doesn't work: Romelu Lukaku doesn't get enough chances, and so snatches at those he does get; Eden Hazard and Kevin du Bruyne seem to contradict rather than complement one another; and there's always a hole in defense no matter how his players get shuffled. They need a win, and they need a performance.

As for the Irish, they were the better team until they took the lead against Sweden, but then they shrank back into themselves to an alarming degree. That draw, plus Italy's ominous form, means that this looks a lot like a must-win for the Irish too. But with Wes Hoolahan in good form, they should create chances, and Belgium look like precisely the kind of team that might react poorly to conceding early.

Portugal vs. Austria

Well, you can go two ways with this one. If you want to watch two of the heartwarming stories of the first round, watch Iceland take on Hungary three hours before this game. A win for either could see them through, and given that this is Iceland's first-ever major tournament, and Hungary's first since 1986, either way would be moderately amazing. What the teams lack in raw talent or star power they make up for in charm and an almost-tangible connection with their excellent, boisterous fans. This is a chance to bask in the glow of international soccer being its very best self.
