Yes, so passionate they couldn't beat England. Second best against N Ireland too.

Tournament football Balti.
Have to say, that sounds a bit bitter above.

To be selfish KDB is out and in one piece. He can get three weeks rest and be fit for the second half of pre season.

Hope Gary Speed was watching that, wherever he may be.

Well done Wales.
Totally unexpected and they took the few chances they had .

As for Lukaku , thank heavens we didn't buy this guy.-

I believe the winner will come from the other side of the draw.

So do I ....... Italy.
But do you think they can beat Portugal.

it's heartbreaking isn't it.

On another note, Denayer is supremely depressing as well...not quite at the same level, obvs...but what a fantastically shit player. Responsible, in major ways, for all 3 goals.

Sell him to Russia please asap for Vodka and stabvests.

cheers

Prefer Wales to win than Portugal and after tonight there is no reason to doubt them.

One game does not a Summer make, but let's hope this was not the usual Jason Denayer. If so, he shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team, he'd make them worse just by his presence.

Fantastic performance from Wales. They've been dreadful to watch for a lot of the tournament, but were brilliant today. Fully deserved victory.

Portugal are not a great side. If Wales can produce a repeat performance, they'll have a good shot at making the final.

Ramsey will be a big miss though. He played well today.

I am more amazed that Portugal might play the final, while tomorrow we say goodbye to Italy or Germany.

Belgium needs a big name instead of Wilmots. He lost the game at half time.

Didn't think he was good at all, but he's being made out to be the scapegoat for that performance on the station I'm watching. On his case all night. Truth is they played 442 and then 352 and got caught cold for the third. Great header by the way. He didn't look like he knew where he should be or what he should be doing.
He wasn't alone though.
Belgium just could not defend.
Nobody knew who was taking who.
Wilmot's will get it on the neck for that.
The team were leaderless. Hazard is supremely skilful but runs with it too long.
Doesn't play with his head.
KDB plays with his head but doesn't lead either. Too laid back. They brought on De Elbow and started playing like Manure. Lump it in the box.

I don't think Denayer will make it as a CB though. Not with us anyway, but it's another case of blame the young lad.

It was. Sadly it was. This is what you get when you play Kasimpasa, Geneclerbirligi.

oh stop such nonsense. Lukaku is a waster , he clearly should have put Belgium 2-1 up and failed miserably . How on earth you can say that the manager lost the game is incredible.

Oh, sorry. I forgot Coleman was a tactical genius.

Before Lukaku should had put them 2-1. Ramsey missed one hell of a chance. Mark my words, Belgium will never reach their potential with Wilmots. Clueless as a manager.

Yeah. Not having a go.
But it its truthful to say they had great passion and desire.
It also just as truthful to say they topped their group and beat NI.

They played well today but I wouldn't get too excited about beating Belgium.
Belgium thrashed us 3-0 and I said the same about them. They don't convince me as a team that has the bottle when it's put up to them.

But give Wales their dues. They're in the semis and Portugal don't convince me either.
