Wales' star man Gareth Bale jokes that no English player would get into the current Wales side ahead of their Euro 2016 clash (14th June).

SOUNDBITE (English) Gareth Bale, Wales:

"Well it's good that they've bit but it's... I never said they didn't have passion or pride I just feel in my opinion that we have more, and I'm sure they have their opinion they have more also so yeah people obviously like to take things out of context,a bit but I'm happy with my comments and I feel we've got a massive team spirit, we've probably got the best team spirit I've seen in teams and that's just my opinion."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gareth Bale, Wales:

"Depends how much you look into it. For me, mind games... there aren't any. For me we just focus on ourselves. Other people like to comment on them so... it's what you take out of it really, it's how much you look into it. For us as a team, as a camp we don't really listen to anything, apart from when we get told things in a press conference but we're just concentrating on ourselves. Nothing's phasing us we don't feel any pressure we're just going to go out and enjoy the occasion."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gareth Bale, Wales:

"No, I'm not saying England don't have passion and pride, I'm sure they do. For me I just feel when... even in the rugby, the football, whatever sport it is in Wales we just seem to have that next level and you really feel it on the pitch, watching the games and I'm just giving my opinion."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gareth Bale, Wales:

Question: "How many England players would get into this current Welsh team?

"None!" (laughter)
