Portugal have been terrible so far.
At least Wales have shown some moments of genuine class to justify being in the Semis.
Portugal are also the only non group winner in the semi final.
If Wales can keep Ronaldo and the wonder kid Sanchez quite it'll be a pretty straight forward Wales win, even though Ramsey will be a big loss.
I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona

Weigl would be a better option than Can to start in midfield! Gomez injury could be a blessing, thought Germany were very pedestrian like in the QF with Gomez and Muller up top.

Reckon Wales beat Portugal too. They could actually win this outright! France v Wales final is my bet.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

I hope Wales stuff Portugal but I reckon this is a bridge too far for them and Portugal will win comfortably enough, maybe 3-0. 

France have a stinking record against Germany in major tournaments but then again Germany got through against (even if they didn't win) Italy for the first time ever. 

I think France will do it 1-0 in a non-classic.

France-Portugal final for me.

It's a great song the Welsh anthem. Also considering the way the english media are implying that half the Welsh team is English the players all know the words of their anthem and sing it.
Anyhow Wales for me tonight and zee Hermans to beat the French tomorrow.

Prob Portugal's best performance and that will tell you how bad they are . Bale covering a lot of ground in both directions while his team mate for Madrid has used more energy trying to claim fouls and moaning at his team mates & officials

Very tetchy. Will only come to life after a goal. Wales need to go for it or theyre only playing into Portugals hand.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Plenty of empty seats to be seen- surprising for a semi final

Both teams trying to find space behind for Bale and Ronaldo but Ronaldo looks like he doesn't want to be there. Wales need to have a go here, game needs to be taken by them.

Ronaldo has been poor again but he should have had a penalty after Collins tried to get him in a headlock,Wales definitely missing Ramseys passing.

I would love to see Wales take this massive opportunity trouble is Ronaldo has a habit of looking out of it then he sticks away a crucial goal.

Ramsey a huge loss alright, no question. Allen has been a bit casual in position too. I do think Ramsey would drive them on here in a way King can't.

He is capable of doing that in any type of game, it appears to be Portugal's only plan, keep it tight and pray for Ronnie. Go out and impose your game on them and get a goal.
