Wales.
They've all gone for a crepe Suzette
When Fellaini came on:
Called it.
Sell Benteke for £25m. Sign Robson-Kanu on a free.
Chuffed for Wales. Now to see Iceland progress past the hosts.
Christ.
Germany will still beat them 9-0, but I'd love to see them get to the final.
Hanging with the best of them.
For fuck's sake.
I'm absolutely certain that Robbie Savage would preface every Welsh player's name with 'European Championship winner...' for the whole of next season if they win this. Even a place in the final would make him insufferable. Ah well, Niall. You had a good run.
#getyournooseout
there's deffo a joke to be made there about garys and speed. i'm too fucking stupid to make it though.Maybe there is a link.
Well fuck...
What are the odds of them actually winning the whole thing?
'If that was Messi...' needs to have a hefty fine attached to it. We're wanking over the turn as it is, is there any need to create some hypothetical goal to compare it with? At this point, if that was Messi nobody would be at all surprised and the entire stadium would shrug in dispassionate expectation that he'll do it another twice before we're done.
This Wales stuff is a living nightmare. Could yet be a Wales-France final. Fucking hell.
Still, Belgium. lol.
Last time I was this excited about a semi, I'd been on a 4 day binge and thought I'd lost the ability to raise a smile, never mind a stiffy!!!
Come on the Welsh!!!!!
Indeed. That they went 1-0 down under a sea of Belgian pressure made the win all the more remarkable.
Fellaini coming on appears to have been buried under lol Fellaini lol what shit, but it might be the biggest managerial BOTTLE JOB of recent years. Belgium pissed the first half, but, because Wales had a few minutes and scored off a corner, their dickhead manager brings him on for an actual attacking player, presumably under the mistaken belief that he could help shore up the midfield. We would lynch our manager for something like that.
Indeed. Hard one to call.
I love an underdog story as much as anybody but I'm fucked if I can get behind the Welsh doing it. I want them out.
I was up off the sofa when that Vokes header went in. Better the Welsh than the fucking Belgian Golden (hair) Generation. Shame about the suspensions. That really is such a shit rule and it has such a disproportionately unfair effect on smaller nations. At least Portugal are shit and Ronaldo's seethe will be off the planet if they lose to Welsh Welsh Wales.
That Robson- Kanu turn as well, jesus, probably the biggest doing since the original Johann effort.
Have to agree on the Fellaini thing. The worst substitution since Ranieri brought Veron on against Monaco (which still ranks as the all time worst).
"The turn" wasn't that special. People are getting carried away.
I'm a twit
I find it sickening that I'm forced to support Portugal in the semi final. I'm feeling outrageously bitter at all the Welsh happiness.
Surprised at the dislike for wales. Am i missing something about them in regards to history? They didnt turn their back on england twice like those scottish man are about to do. Its wales all the way to the final at this point.
I'm a twit
If it was Messi...
Init John.
Anyone but Portugal for me. I'm still pissed at them for dumping out Croatia. Portugal making the final would be a travesty.
I went into my village pub, the valleys rang with song
There were three Cwmbran beauties who I've fancied all along
They toasted Euro glory and I bought them bitter ale
But it was all no use cos they went home with Gareth Bale
AND WE WERE SINGING...
Frightful place.
well i enjoyed it you miserable bastards
They didn't piss the first half. They were good (albeit really really good) for about 20 minutes and then it was all Wales. That's not to say bringing Fellaini on wasn't an absolute shit decision.
Yeah fair play to the lads, great effort.
They'll lose on penalties to Portugal though
I was half watching while I was in a bar. The place went up when Wales scores their 3rd, which surprised me.
I'm pleased for them like I would be with any underdog. I don't feel any rivalry with them, even if they do think they're getting one over on us.
The bitterness in here. And you all wonder why the Celts hate England.
Sickening. Mon le Griezmann and Renato
I'm happy to admit that my dislike of the Welsh doing well is because I'm jealous.
Although be honest, the reason the Celts don't like us is more because we've dominated you and successfully crushed your culture over the centuries
You take these small victories though.
Compare the (decidedly small time) reaction of the Welsh team on Monday with the broadly positive one in here.
I only wanted Belgium cos they're my sweepstake team. Now theyre out I want Wales to go all the way.
.....
I posted similar upthread and yes, it was a complete shocker.
I'm so nervous for tonight. Germany are always one of our biggest rivals, and living in a town near the border there are so many Germans here that losing terrifies me.
The two teams with the most winningest mentality going. I reckon Italy will do it.
De Rossi is apparently not going to start because of the injury. Shame, he's been excellent so far. Also, I don't really trust Sturaro too much but he fires up in important matches. (see 2015 CL semi-final against Madrid) Parolo as the holding midfielder is also untested, he's not as good a defender as De Rossi.
Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Florenzi, Sturaro, Parolo, Giaccherini, De Sciglio; Eder, Pellč.
De Rossi missing hurts.
I'm still nervous about even entertaining the idea we could win the competition.
Winner of this game will walk the rest of the tournament IMO.
I'm happy for Wales. It's nice to see a home nations team dowing well at an international tournament for the first time in 20 fucking years.
It does feel as important as a final. The two best performing team so far, both very capable of beating France and Portugal.
.....
I like the sentiment, but I don't think you can ever say you'll walk a game before playing in the QF stage onwards of a major tournament.
