And I used to be a citizen⭐
Did in the first half. But I'm not just talking about Bale; lots of countries have their 'talisman' who we've seen turn several games in the last 2 weeks.Didn't against England now did it....

One man does not a team make.
See above from Clinton Baptiste.
Bloke at work has just sent round the latest update for our office Euro sweepstake comp. And I quote....
"A rather uninspiring group stage is over...."
He can't have been watching much of this tournament, right?
I agree. I think it's been pretty good all in all.
Because apart from Bale, they're not that good. They'll get found out soon enough.
But Bale is really good. And he's not been anywhere near his best yet (and still scored three times!)
The thing with Wales is that, apart from Bale and a few others who are really quite good, they play together as a TEAM, with passion and commitment. You can't say that about some of the others who've got through. I'd be delighted to see them progress further.Well I disagree. They play like a team, individuals like Ramsey, Williams seem to thrive on being the senior pros. They have leaders, their manager knows the way he wants to play and the players do too. I think you do them a disservice and yes they do have Bale, he alone can carry them through. We dont have a player in his class.
I had a quick exchange with Glenn Speller yesterday as amongst about 100 excited tweets about the drama of the ROI game he was bemoaning a poor team getting through.
There may not have been much special in the quality of the football but theres been plenty of drama, dont understand that negativity.
No chance.And we beat Iceland,France will polish us off next.
What exactly have you seen from France which would have England losing sleep?
Won't matter as Ireland will knock them out.
Could really do with some (non-England) football tonight.:sad:
Agree, got an evening with no missus or child and theres no bloody football on! Might just re-watch the Battle of the *******s.

Belgium, Spain and Italy have been the most impressive so as far as I'm concerned, fancied Belgium at the outset, and first game apart, I still think they're the team to beat.
Knock out stage teams will play a lot differently to how they've done in the groups. Time for some of our lot to start earning their pay.
Really? I personally think they have all spluttered and not lived up to their hype.
Personally,I'd say Germany,France ,Italy ,Spain and Croatia have been the most impressive teams so far.Croatia and one of the others (probably Germany or France will contest the final)
The best match so far was Hungary v Portugal though (closely folowed by Spain v Croatia)
That's because neither team could defend.
Yes but it still made for a great football match.
