    Writing this at 3-1, so technically not finished, but what a performance Wales! I'm sure there'll be plenty of lazy comparisons with England and talk about added 'desire/commitment', but I think that's being slightly condescending. I say it's down to their quality and team play - they genuinely have an excellent chance of making the final if they can do this again (will miss Ramsay though).

    Congratulations Welsh brethren!

    Congrats to Wales.

    I'm sure their fans would say the same for England if it had been the other way around. ............

    Fabulous performance Wales, this year is definitely the triumph of the team over the better individuals...

    He's out of contract at the mo, reckon he might get a bit of interest now...!

    He didn't want to commit to anything until after the tournement for two reasons.
    1 - he wanted to focus on this.
    2 - a good tournement sends his stock up, that goal alone should of done that. Plus he's technically a winger.

    Also Aaron Ramsey dyed his hair to be spotted, strange really as most know he's a good player but still felt he needed to be spotted.

    Chris Coleman said it. Dreams can come true so no reason why we can't turnover Portugal is there.
    What a night. Every time Wales scored I shouted so loud that our dog ran along the hall and pleaded to be let out into the garden. She was convinced that I was angry with her.

    I jumped up and cheered the cat nearly ran up the wall to get away. My heart was pounding I thought I won't make 50 <laugh>
    But I've had so many congratulations from English fans, I'm overwhelmed by it all.

    I was really pissed off watching the Welsh players dancing over England's demise.
    Nevertheless I was determined to be impartial tonight, risking my mam's wrath in heaven.
    Mae hen started and it broke me immediately, I just can't help the feeling that overtakes me.
    The Welsh team were fantastic and hearty congratulations.

    Bale said before the game, that they wasn't too happy with that getting leaked, but they've been like that with other games as well.
    But it's done now, even though I wasn't comfortable with it either as I thought that it could come back at haunt them.

    But I suspect this man is looking down on this team he brought together at a young age, with a smile on his face.

    I'll be supporting them tonight. It hurts me to say because I know that they would NEVER support us the other way round.
    I keep reminding myself that I'm bigger then that - that's the English balance - support where support is due with no prejudice.

    'support where support is due with no prejudice'

    That's what I used to say to my mother.
    Her reply was something about Churchill sending troops in on Welsh miners.
