      Real bummer.

      Oh well, it was a good ride.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        It sure was a good ride. They have some quality just lacked that killer instinct.

        Is your heritage Polish TD?

              Well done Wales 3-1 over Belgium.

              Belgium very disappointing. Never will they have a better chance to reach a major final.

                Wilmots needs to be sacked or they are going to waste a golden generation

                  Absolutely. They were just so uninspiring. There structure was poor, with little support for Lukaku. Felliani looked the only likely to do any damage. Just so disappointing considering how good individually they are.

                  But kudos to Wales .They were fantastic and it is so good to see a team that are passionate about the cause work together and win. Well done to Coleman.

                  They will miss Ramsey against Portugal. A big loss but as teams do they will find a replacement who will step up. Vokes will probably start.

                    Germany through on penalties. Just one more QF to go. Come on Iceland.

                      Wouldn't that be incredible if Iceland win tomorrow.

                        What are the odds on a Wales v Iceland final? they would be pretty darn high. Probably a 1000-1 at the start of the tournament.

                          1000-1 would be the odds now, even just Iceland getting past France would be around those odds. 1000000-1 at the start I reckon.

                          Come on Iceland! Today we are all Vikings, even us Anglos. And Anglos(axons) hated Vikings.

                            Bear in mind they were missing 3 of their starting back 4. Full credit to Wales, but this was an undermanned Belgian team.

                              True both Vertonghen and Vermalen were missing whilst Kompany has been injured. More there attack that I was disappointed in. The only game were they really fired was against Hungary and that was late in the game. They were ordinary in the WC as well. Wilmots has to go.

                                Worst penalty shootout I've ever seen. The penalties from Muller, Pelle, Zaza, Darmian and Schweinsteiger were awful - even the winning penalty was a poor one and should have been stopped by Buffon.
