Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey cannot wait for Wales' group game against England at Euro2016.
However, his immediate concern is the opening game against Slovakia on Saturday, and the 25-year-old is hoping to get the ball rolling with three points in their first Group B outing in Bordeaux.
Ramseysaid: "A few players and members of staff didn't want England because of all that goes with it, but I was buzzing when their name came out.
"Perhaps because I play with a few of them, the banter came out really quickly.
"I'm excited for it, but the first game is crucial for us.
"We need to get off to a good start and go into that one with full of confidence, because momentum can do a lot for teams."
