Well done Wales. Fantastic result.

The Robson-Kanu goal was superb - track it down on youtube and take a look.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Great game. Never seen anything in Lukaku and Fellaini and it won't change after this match.

Tournament of a lifetime for long suffering welsh supporters.

Oggy oggy oggy!

Well done. Love to see a Wales vs Iceland final

from FB:

Definitely the best performance by Wales since Free Willy

Robson-Kanu sent Belgian defenders to buy some Belgian waffle from across the border with that sweet turn.

What a story for Wales. Despite the fact that I despise Arsenal, Ramsey has been brilliant this tournament and its a shame he will miss the semis. Hopefully the other squad members step up.

I wasn't that shocked at the result. Belgium have a habit of folding with too many supposedly world-class players going missing. Wales are a strong, well organized side with some top quality players.

As above, Ramsey is a real loss but they'll still give anyone a decent game.

Bale going head to head with Ronaldo is going to be interesting.

Wales are a much better nation than England that's for sure. They've done something that England haven't done in 50 years!

0 ( +3 / -3 )

They've done something that England haven't done in 50 years!

Hang on there, Euro 96 was "only" 20 years ago!

Get in there Wales, here's hoping you can push on and win the thing (something England have never done!)

What have Wales done that England haven't for 50 years?

They're on the verge of winning a major trophy. That's what I meant. England have failed to win anything since 1966, which they won from an offside goal.

"They're on the verge of winning a major trophy. That's what I meant. England have failed to win anything since 1966, which they won from an offside goal."

Reaching the semis with countries like France and Germany still in isn't on the verge of winning a trophy.

I hope Wales win it. I'm not bitter. I like a bit of banter and taking the pee but your bitterness and hatred of England is a bit creepy.

"I hope Wales win it. I'm not bitter. I like a bit of banter and taking the pee but your bitterness and hatred of England is a bit creepy."

Why is it a bit creepy? The arrogance of their media and fans makes me enjoy England's failure even more. They always disrespect their opponents and they did the same thing with Iceland which came back to bite them.

Wales, or Iceland. Here's hoping

Yes, the UK media overhypes England but anyone with half a brain or a passing knowledge of football knows England aren't a top footballing nation. Only idiots think England will actually win it or get upset about the arrogance. Trust me, I haven't met too many England fans who take this seriously.

I wouldn't say they always disrespect their opponents. Whenever they draw the likes of Germany, most look like they are heading for the gallows.

Christopher Glen Bale going head to head with Ronaldo is going to be interesting.

Are they tennis players or are they playing a one on one sport ? Thought soccer is a team sports and both teams have made it so far based on the hardwork of the entire team.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

Does Wales play England next? Just checking.

-1 ( +0 / -1 )

I'm still reeling from England's loss to Iceland. I guess we'll cheer on Wales.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

@drlucifer: I'm fully aware of that. The clash between these two is what is going to boost ratings.
