Just to clear my name here, incase my views have been misinterpreted. (Not saying Fran has aimed it at me either). I said the moment Cameron offered the referendum, that too few people were well informed enough to decide (myself included). Too big a decision to make. I also stand by the vote result. I don't like it and I still have not seen or heard anything to change my view (the lack of direction and information is staggering), however, the result must stand. We are a democratic nation, so having decided to have the vote, it must not be changed.
The result is the result and it was democratically reached. There were always going to be people who were disappointed/unhappy whichever way it went. Blaming politicians or sections of society is not going to change anything. We voted and the decision has been made. I personally felt I had enough information to make a decision but it seems not all felt the same. 28% didn't vote for whatever reason but that was their decision nobody else's.
Don't tell Helen, but I have to support Portugal. Torn because Wales is a home nation and it is a great story, but Fonte deserves this. I have to stand by my man.

Did too quickly....because I was looking for information after seeing on Sky that he was training on his own. So confused it with more recent news. Sorry.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36713548 Quite possibly the best ever football video. I love those Icelandic fans
Well down to the last 4, in euros and sweepstake. Portugal v Wales, Tom v Davecg69 Germany v France. Saint Helen v The Liebherr Legacy Good luck
Think I'll defer to Tom on this one. Can't see Wales managing another surprise - esp missing Ramsey and at least one other, isn't it? I'll be cheering them on though, even if it means upsetting Jose and Fran
Thank you, Dave - a true friend I can't see us winning either, Ramsey will be a huge loss, as will Ben Davies. Then again, you never know...
I heard that! I'll be chuffed for Fonte and Cedric but I really can't stand Ronaldo. Let the best team win (so yeah, it'll be Portugal )
I can't deny Wales my support. My goodness they've earned our support. Understandable that Fran will go with her lover, Jose. Oh, and the gooseberry Cedric. It's a pretty good semi-final. If Wales have to lose to any team then it might as well be Portugal. But I want Wales. What a story it would be if they actually win.
I can imagine what Wales fans are feeling...reminds me of 1966 and 1996 (although with 2 different outcomes). We just walked on air and could think of nothing else. Will also have a knock on effect on their economy...bet their tourism rockets. Hope it's a great game.
