Match Day Thread Wales v Portugal

How sad that someone waited this long for the result before making his appearance ., just like a woman they never forget

 

Well proud of the team who will arrive home to great applause and appreciation like winners which they most certainly are and a far different to England who came home shamed an humiliated and manager-less....We have done what no home nation have done for 50 years and reached a the semi final of a major tournament......
Well done to Coleman and his coaching staff and the brilliant Gary speed...RIP. And well done to all the players who have enhanced their careers and have gained many admirers..

 

England have made the semis of a major tournament within the last 50 years haven't they?

 

1966 aussie

 

How far did they get in euro96 ?

 

Which is the only Home Nation to reach a "major" semi-final on FOREIGN soil?

England are like the French rugby team - poor travellers

 

So they have been to a semi final in the last 50 years. Thought so.

 

I did I have my tongue firmly planted in my cheek mind

 

England made the Semis in 1996

 

they also made the semi's of the WC in Italia 90.

but nothing except the win in 66 eclipses what Wales have just done.

 

Oops - you are spot on. How could I forget Gazza crying

 

Because so many English players have cried since
