I was even going to skip it but watched the opener anyway since it's raining and there was nothing else to do.

I was impressed by Italy. This is not a bad Turkey side either, as they took four points off France in the qualifiers to put this win in perspective. Tough group for Wales I'd say, but with 16 out of 24 countries surviving the opening group stages, anything's possible.
