<p>Heart 1 - 1 Head :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a fantastic, fantastic night of football for Wales.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tremendous display of character, skill and belief.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The knowledge that we'd beaten Belgium in the qualifying stages gave us the belief to stick to our system & plan and not run around like headless chickens chasing the game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On another night Belgium could have stuffed us, they were that good at creating chances. Their goal was magic. But luck and poor finishing allowed us to play our game and score two good goals and one great goal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Overachieved beyond belief and Wales woke up groggy but with a smile on its face.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No secret that my heart is oval not round but it's magic to see everyone come together behind this Welsh team. Especially in these uncertain and divisive times for Wales the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Win or lose against Portugal, and a win is a very realisitc proposition, this Welsh team has done Wales proud.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can we make the final? Here are two good Welsh boys to spur us on our way</p>

Need a hash tag #walesviceland that'll work

<p>Well done to the Taffs. Great result and I understand a great game. I saw the wonder goal, absolute cracker.</p>
-
Finally beat those farking eyeties! But dammit some of those penalties were shit.

<p>My Sunday football team would take better penalties than some of those players. There were some real shockers.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I'd like to say that was because of the 120 draining minutes before that, but some of these players didn't even play 45 mins.</p>
<p>Having two of the world's best goalkeepers in the shootout probably didn't help, though</p> -
<p>If those penalty takers were Pakistani cricketers everyone would be assuming the fix was in..</p>

I have mixed reactions. Yes it was awesome to finally beat Italy but those 3 penalties from 3 highly experienced players were a bit of a stain on German football. They hadn't missed one in a PS since 1982. Schweinsteiger choked like a little bitch. If England had met that lot in 1990, history might have been very different.

<p>All Blacks can be thankful twitter wasn't around when they lost to club sides midweek... </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Imagine what the Twitter outrage would have been like after the loss to Sydney in 1992. </p>

<p>"Pat Lam = nil. #NeverGraceTheBlackJerseyAgain. Mains out!"</p> -
<p>I expect the 2007 exit would have provoked many....#chokedagain #cantblamethereforcanyou #robbiedeansforABcoach #wewillneverwinanotherRWC</p>

A fair result coming up. Portugal denied clear penalty in first 45, second half wales have offered nothing apart from the odd effort from bale.
-
<p>Wales really missed Ramsey in the midfield as there was no creativity and link to Bale and Robson-Kanu. A great effort to get this far though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking forward to tomorrow's SF. Germany have lost Gomez, <span>Khedira and </span>Hummels <span>to injury or suspension. I like France to edge this game with the home support. They need to start well and score first.</span></p> -
<p>Commiserations to our ferning friends from west of the Taff. Time now to reflect on a great tournament for Wales football.</p>
-
<p>Played in too many matches like that. Their best player is better than your best player and that's the difference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fantastic run for Wales.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Welsh team a credit to their nation and football.</p>

<p>I fancy France to pip Germany 2-1 tonight for a France v Portugal final</p>
