They finished their chances. Lukaku and Fellaini missed free headers. Williams and Vokes did not.

It's probably because they wanna forget that Greece thing ever happened.

The entire Lukaku family was on the pitch for entirely too long.

Not looking forward to Bale vs. Ronaldo.

Oh, and 20 other scrubs.

The two top talents left in the tournament going head to head.

If all it takes in an Icelandic draw to do that, should just be as simple as telling the press he doesn't like the volume level of the dressing room stereo that CR choses on match day or that any one of CR's sponsored products are rubbish.

Of course that will mean the end of one of them at Madrid but I think that's going to happen sooner than later anyway.

They are undoubtedly the top talents, I'm just not optimistic that we're going to get a good game with the final on the line.

I was more of the opinion that Belgium was a team that could force Portugal to come out and actually play moreso than Wales.

Either way, its done now, hopefully that semi isnt a total snoozer like Portugal's last couple of matches.

Wales is gonna park the bus without a doubt. Never going to get a better look at a major final than this. It's up to Portugal to show the initiative and obviously the last two games they clearly haven't. I just don't want 120 minutes of negative football with Bale and Ronaldo both out there. Unfortunately that's what we'll probably get.

Just cuz "lol Madrid"? Because there's really no indication that they're changing their front 3.

I'm not sure Wales know how to park the bus, maybe the Ramsay suspension might reduce them a bit but they have been the most offensive team of the tournament.

Nervous game to watch for me. Outstanding pace pushed in this game.
Missing Ramsey will be incredibly tough vs Portugal.

I think the opposite

Portugal will want to control play more and create chances against that midfield

Wales never sit back in a full defensive mode (like today and vs England and both were exciting games) they will push up and atack

Is it possible that Wales or Iceland will have had the highest percentage of drunk citizens at one time than any other country in the history of humanity?

You just can't undersell Ireland on this one. It's not just the quantity of drunks but how drunk they are too.

Candreva and De Rossi to miss the match tomorrow. Germany at full strength. Italy also have 11(!) players on yellows. Even if they can pull it out, they're likely to be missing some guys in the semi.

I'm not optimistic but you never know what can happen.
