Can Belgium be worse in the second half. That's the worry.

From the Welsh performance to the England performance; the starkest of contrasts.

It would be Englishman that Scores Wales first goal in a quarter final
Well Italy had a Brazilian score for them the other night so it's fair enough

Frankly I'm exhausted! Great half and am so proud of how we are playing. After such an excellent start from Belgium, great spirit from Wales to not only get back into the game, but actually play the more threatening football going into the break.

Whatever transpires, the lads are giving it a go and am so pleased we're playing well on such a big stage. Robson-Kanu was the right choice, and I think we'll see Jonny Williams coming on to inject some pace a la the NI game...Just hope to God there isn't a second 'yellow' to spoil things.

I like Frank but do we need this tonight? This is Wales' night and tbh I'm tired of hearing about England now and I'm English.

I don't get it , why can't England play like Wales !?!
Roy only came here to keep his job ie: fulfil the fa's minimum target - a decent quarter final loss and it blatantly showed with the 4 changes he made in the fnal group game. Wales have come here to win the whole damn thing lol

Thoughts on it so far.

Bad

The Ref and the nearside linesman . Denier 4 times fouled a welsh player yet no yellow or red card - incredible.

My impression also that he was biased in handing out the yellow cards in the first half. I thought that was weak as referees go.

Joe Allen his passing was poor at the start and gave the ball away which lead up to their goal.

Ashley williams for not being in the right position to block the line of the long range shot.

Neil Taylor missing a sitter, shows why its been 4 years since his previous goal outside this tournament.

Robson Kanu he really ought to do better.

Robbie Savages lame unintelligent commentary.

Good

Our resilience in conceding the first goal but being able to recover.

Ashley Williams in heading in our goal.

Gareth Bale in being Gareth Bale he does lead and inspire the others.

I don't really want to be reminded of England.

Wales are where it's at today.

BBC misjudged this, talking about England when a British team is playing is mental.

I mean, the pre game period was for England discussions.

Had a little laugh at Shearer forgetting to name Ferdinand when listing captains.

For better or worse, most of the people watching this match right now are in England and primarily interested in England.

As regards Ashley Williams , I still think he massively overrated .

I'm that first crazy Belgium onslaught , first Willams turned his back on the cross , the for the corner he completely lost Lukaku at the back post . He just got lucky twice
