Welsh players care far more than the English players

Ramsey and Bale have more passion than the likes of Rooney and Sterling
Even more than that they actually know their roles and their own limitations. England squad is full of too many heroes as usual, who never live up to it

Belgiums defending was absolutely schoolboy. Those 2 goals were easily stoppable yet did their worst to let them happen.

Oh well arleast that's 1 more fraud team gone.

One more proof big names don't play football. A team plays football and Wales is a proper team.

Belgium remind me of England, even down to the cringe "golden generation" tag.

A bunch of very good big name players who are unable to play as a team and turn up when needed.

It will be very hard for Wales without Ramsey in the semi-final. Portugal will probably win on penalties again.
Yeah, draw will be certain :lol:

England, 9 major tournaments since 1996 = Quarter-final at best
Wales, 1 major tournament since 1958 = 1 semi-final

I am in a state of shock. I was so proud to be Welsh when we qualified and I saw the welsh flag all round the Euro stadiums etc... Now, it's dreamland.

All the 'oh so nears' to qualify through the years are finally a distant memory!

Fantastic team performance! :D :D

Belgium out and well deserved. Contrary to what every reporter is saying we lost this in midfield, not defence...

Wales are a brilliant team. Not sure why people are surprised.

Belgium are a bunch of individuals.

Have to admit I didn't give Wales much of a chance and Belgium started like a house on fire. Wales also got 3 early yellow cards but after that Wales started to get a lot joy and really deserved it.

Ramsey will be kicking himself now for getting booked and suspended for the Semi's.

It was utter stupidity sticking his hand out like that and blocking the ball..
I think he did it instinctively really and then realized straightaway.

What a game , each and every England player should be made to sit and watch that game, to see how it is done, to see how a team of underdogs can play like a team and win, not give up and walk round the pitch like it does not matter, I am no fan of Bale or Ramsey , but they are spot on about the passion the team has.
I hope they beat Portugal now, but No Ramsey will hurt Wales against Portugal.

Good shout! I did mean those at the tourney, but you're not wrong at all. What could have been for Belgium, if the other 3 of those 4 were fit/not suspended. I must say, the suspension rule with yellows is farcical. 2 yellows before semis and you're suspended? Joke.
aye it's pretty shitty rule which now means Ramsey misses the final.
