Well done Wales, playing with pride and a worldy from a fella that hasn't even got a club to play for
Maybe England should pick a striker that has no club,
Carlton for England

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

They're a bit like the England cricket team the Welsh, full of foreigners however, my old Mum was Welsh so have a soft spot for them. I'm actually more Welsh than Ashley Williams
I cheered them on in very English "we love an underdog way"
Anyway, they played well and deserved their win. Hopefully they will batter Ronaldo and co then Dimi can tear them a new one in the final. Ramsey was superb today but his Barnet is terrible.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with ginge coming on tonight, Wales have now used every outfield player in their squad at some point in the tournament. Love that everyone in the team is playing a part.
Ginge vs Ronaldo next game, he usually does well against Cristiano, does the ginger pele.

Yes , I believe everyone in the outfield positions have had some playing time which is testament to Coleman's man management and team spirit .

Bale leading the Icelandic cheer at the end was a little on the pony side. Unless of course it was preemptive head gaming. Clever boy.
