If Bale scores the winner in the next match, Cristiano will be right on the phone to Perez to have him sold.

Mention for Gary Speed too. He'd have loved this.

Great second half by us. Quality goals that took down our opposition emphatically.
The only anxiety is the players lost to the card happy referee unnecessarily in my opinion. We looked hesitant and too easily passed through also we failed to clear the ball simply and effectively. Instead we preferred to f*nny around in our own half and sometimes lost possession. Anyway on we go to take on the next side in the semis and what an achievement it is. |

Extraordinary result but Ramsey missing in the semifinals is a hammer blow to their chances of reaching the final.

Well done, Wales. I fancy them against Portugal, but I do think that Aaron Ramsey not playing in that game will be a bit of a blow. Still, it's on and I hope they prevail.

Looking at the other perspective, perhaps the Belgian FA would be wise to team up with the English FA in this investigation as to what makes their world-class individual players fail to perform collectively.
The way they got themselves into dominant positions only to lose all sense of purpose and heart after Wales scored both goals was almost ridiculous for players with such talent. I don't know who it was that said in the Belgium v Hungary thread that they didn't expect to see Belgium as firmly in control in this match but they got it spot on. |

Wales become the first team to reach the semi-final on their Euros debut since Sweden in 1992.

Well done to the Welsh lads - played with passion and belief and got what they deserved.
![]() Belgium I think expected a walk in the park once that first goal went in but Wales had other ideas. Lukaku was a passenger, De Broyne looked like he had his boots on his wrong foot and Hazard was crowded and frustrated all night ... If they can do the same against Ronaldo then they can do a number on Portugal as well as they haven't impressed me at all this tournament. |

the "two yellows in 5 games" and you miss the next game is ridiculous.

Wow. Just wow. Fantastic performance, technically better than the 2nd best team in the world, top scorers in the tournament, and proved that they are far from a a one-man team. Even with Ramsey missing they have to fancy beating Portugal.

Wales top scorers in the tournament with 10. Only ones in double figures.

Full credit to Wales for their win but why did Belgium sat back on their one goal advantage when three defenders were on a yellow card?
Both De Bruyne and Lukaku are seriously overrated when it comes to international football! At least, Wilmots can go back to managing his restaurant full-time after this! |

My dresser is Welsh so I'm proud of the lads tonight. As a non-bitter Englishman, I'm thrilled for them and again this year it shows a true team can triumph over a collection of egos despite a supposed disparity in quality overall. I just hope the same applies in the semi although Ramsey will be a huge miss - both he and Allen were immense in midfield.
Humbling to watch., frankly, when compared to our shower. |

Thought since they scraped through the group that Portugal would somehow get to the final, looks like that's still on. Hope I'm wrong though.
