Arsenal ace Ramsey buzzing for England as Wales look to get better of Slovakia

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."
