If you feck Hazard up by playing him through injury you can go do one.
QF2: Wales vs Belgium
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Pretty much this, good summary!
You can't take a full game out of the equation and all of his goals and say he's been average or not quite good enough. You could say that about anyone. He also provided the amazing cross that beat Northern Ireland (he was quiet in that game though)
He's been poor by his own standards. It is a different sort of poor to a Ronaldo who for me has been dire and a hindrance for Portugal outside of the Hungary game.
Gareth genuinely just looks very tired, outside of the Russia game.. he hasn't been beating players for fun, his passing has at times been abit off and his first touch has been lackadaisical.
For me it is to his great credit that despite him looking like he is running through treacle at times, he has proven himself to be a world class gamechanger. Imagine if he was fully fit and firing.
Bale is one of the best big match footballers in the world and his reputation has been enhanced by this tournament.. just saying from a technical point of view and as a big fan of him, he can definitely perform much better than he has which is a scary thought to be honest.
Bale as good as he's been hasn't reached the standards he's been at for Wales in previous games. He's been on the periphery too much, doesn't seem to want to sprint too much. There was talk of him not being 100% fit. Not sure I believe that, I just think with games coming quickly he's trying to save himself a bit.
Bale is not world class in the way Ronaldo, Messi are anyway. Lacks the football skills. He has a different skill set, including gigantic striding pace, a hell of a strike, elite athleticism, etcall of which make him a formidable asset. But I never see him completely run games. He's done awfully well with the talent he has and he is imposing it sporadically on this tournament.
With those injuries and not a fully fit Hazard, think this will be another one that will go to penalties.
I fancy pens too
Can't stand Gareth Bale and his prematch smirk remarks. Hope Belgium thrash them, but unfortunately I can see this ending in a draw.
If you are English, I don't see how you can even support Wales considering how their entire team mocked and laughed at us after seeing we got knocked out by Iceland.
TBF I think people from all over the world mocked and laughed at that.
The whole of Europe mocked and laughed at England team.
To be fair, the Welsh have been laughed at for decades so I can't get too upset at them giving some back.
Don't forget the fans too. I'm Welsh and I still haven't stopped laughing.
Come on Wales, do it for Lawrence!
I think Ronnie and POR stand a better chance v Wales. Come on BALE!
Belgium jersey looks so dope
So nervous for this, butterflies in the stomach, the lot. Come on Wales!!!!

Sick of this hashtag bollocks and stupid sayings. It's proper cringey. A simple "Come on lads" would do. feckin hipsters.
Just a quick pop in while I can still type....
Come the feck on Wales!!!!
Come the feck on Wales!!!!
Wales celebrating England going out. Small timers.
Eden Hazard double hat-trick please.
Aww diddums
Bale seems like a really nice person, I've always wanted him to do well (since he was at Real)
Who the feck cares now, we've signed Zlatan 
(will be watching this)

C'mon Belgium!
Hazard looks like a child in the tunnel.
Good luck, Wales.
That kid in front of Ramsay doing an Ashely Cole
Fancy Belgium to get this done in 90 mins. Russia was everyone's whipping boy, they got dominated by sorry England and Slovakia game I don't remember it being a great display.
Despite the video of Wales celebrating Iceland's win I'm not looking for them to go out though. Would be nice if they can make it through, maybe a counter.

Hope Belgium batter them, Brexit voting wankers.
He might be richer and probably better at football than me but I can grow a better beard than Gareth Bale.
Baby Lukaku has better hair than his big bro.
He's a fecking tank as well. Good genes!

Yes not the like Wales players who celebrated as if they won the world cup.
yellow card so early, in danger for the rest of the game.
The suspension rule is just a fecking joke.
Soft soft yellow.
cant stand Bale or Ramsey , so its Belgium for me.
