So are Portugal  going to win the tournament  without winning a match in 90 minutes?

I think they've rode their luck and it's due to run out.

Anyone not think France Germany Belgium to join them? 

Fingers crossed for the Welsh.

Could be Italy. Not sure that'll be as dominant a German performance as expected.

Italy are Germany's bogey team.

Come on Wales!! Smashing stuff

Now go beat that prick! 

[pink_triangle]

Holy crap!

Scenes :-)

Massive congrats.

Great performance. 

Portugal are very beatable...

Well done Wales.
But England are the only ones who got what they wanted.
Wales voted out & they are in
Northern Ireland voted in & they are out
Scotland voted in & ... well let's just not go there.
England voted out & all their dreams came true.

It's taken me a sleep to get my thoughts together.  I found myself a combination of happiness,  relief and shock. 

It was a great performance  for Wales.  A lot of these players  are championship  standard  yet they seem to have an extra gear for Wales.  It was no fluke,  we defended well,  passes the ball well and took our chances.  We were a lot quicker to the ball than Belgium who looked a laboured group of individuals.  Hazard and Lukaku  were  awful. 

I started the tournament  hoping to win 1 game  and score a goal.  We are in the semis  and top scorers in  the ttournamet. If it ends Wednesday  then it's still  been a bloody good ride,  I'm hoping it can continue  a few days more!

i really enjoyed that.

Outstanding result last night for Wales. I can't quite believe it.

I heard Danny Baker this morning suggesting that the England squad should tow the Wales open top bus through the streets of Cardiff.

As if Hart would be able to hold onto the rope!

Here's hoping we get another good game later.

Can't decide who to root for so taken 17/1 on 2-2 with paddy p.

Yip. Incredible going into the semis but also with a great opportunity to reach the final :-)

Pity about the players missing out due to 2 yellows across 5 games. Seems a bit harsh. I'd go with a one game ban if you get a red for violent conduct and leave it at that.

Fans of whatever team should be seeing both teams at full strength by this stage in the tournament.

Zaza.. Best penalty ever!

So anyway... predictions...?

Winners: Germany
Runners up: Spain
glorious semi-final losers: France.
glorious round of 16 losers: England

I can see definitely-satisfactory for all of Wales, NI & Ire, with at least one of them doing well. Which one? Depends how the luck rolls.

 

It's looking like i mostly did good, apart from Spain. France to lose tomorrow, I reckon.

And there's nothing lucky involved in the last Welsh win, so best of luck to them tonight.

Oh I think we had our fair share of luck in the last game and most others,  I would happily be lucky winners today.

 I fear Portugal may be a step too far. While not as good individually as Belgium,  they are better organised. However we have nothing to lose. 

[TheGayTent]

No idea about tonight. As a football supporter I want Portugal to win, as a ginger Pele fan I want Wales to win.

Can only see Wales winning, Portugal have been rubbish this tournament.

[TheGayTent]

Wales haven't pulled up any trees, but they are my slight favourites given how poor Portugal have been.

I think Portugal  have been pretty solid defensively apart from the Hungary  game.  Tight first half.

Agreed,  we have taken advantage of good luck when it's come our way,  hope there more to continue! 

[WS_Jack_III]

Crumbled. Ronaldo is good at those headers by the way.
