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

    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.

    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>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>

    Germany's big problem was Müller. They really missed a proper striker. <br><br>
    The most annoying thing about the whole tournament is that latching on to your opponent in the box just goes unpunished. Ronaldo shafted last night and the Germans tonight.

    <p>well, that sucked. Well played France, they waited for the counter attacks and took some of their (few) opportunities. Unfortunately, we didn't convert any of ours, when there were loads. Gomez was missed very much.</p>
