Cheers , mate - we had the luck of the Irish at times , Belgium could have had a penalty but the Ref didn't see it , it's been an emotional night I must say .

To be perfectly honest I didn't think we stood a chance , Belgium were the best footballing side left in the competition but we harrassed and we ran for each other and got 3 wonderful goals - it's been a long time coming and a bit unbelievable but we're in the semi finals of the European Championship !!!!!

Fantastic win for Wales, road their luck occasionally but on the whole thoroughly deserved their place in the semi finals.
This tournament is following a bit of a pattern in showing that a good team and having a good manager is more important than having the better players.

Kicked Belgium Out Of The European Championship .
let's hear no more talk of winter breaks, resting players, players are tired and all the other cliches that England managers and other experts come out with every time England exit a tournament after woeful performances. Wales showed what you can do with organisation, character, spirit, everybody knowing what their team job is, fantastic stuff. WELL DONE WALES.

My Wife is working tomorrow and had gone to bed , so yes I tidied up the kitchen and loaded up the dishwasher which made me 23 minutes behind everyone else ! Honestly !
I found out on here that we had gone 2-1 up then 3-1 later on , my heart can't stand live football I care about , same goes when I'm watching West Ham !

No mate. We need to get this right. I hoped Wales would win and cheered their goals as though they were West Ham goals, it was that I thought Belgium would win the match

Well done Wales, playing with pride and a worldy from a fella that hasn't even got a club to play for
As I've already stated , I'm not one of those guys who want England to lose , in fact I'm the exact opposite always have been , when you drew with Germany recently in a friendly I thought you had a very good chance of winning the tournament but something has gone wrong with the whole set up - it won't take much to put things right , your players are a hell of a lot better than the Welsh , all you need is someone to galvanize them into a team .
