England-Wales a 'game between brothers,' says Hodgson (The Associated Press)

Wales star Gareth Bale described England as the ''enemy'' in one of his many incendiary comments in the build-up to their European Championship match on Thursday, but Roy Hodgson is adopting a different tone about the all-British match. ''It's a game between brothers,'' the England coach said Wednesday, in a remark that will likely be viewed with both bemusement and amusement from the Welsh population. For Wales, the game in Lens is one of the biggest in its recent history - a rare chance to meet its bitter rival and neighbour on the big soccer stage.
