Over the years on the sporting front it has been the rugby team that has brought out my passion and pride for being Welsh. However over the Euros and especially last night the football team are doing the whole country and myself proud. I never thought I would see our side beat a team such as Belgium when it mattered. ( mind you I never thought I would see Hibs lift the Scottish Cup.....what a year) OK , they had a few injuries especially in their backline but they still had enough "stars" in their side. .....too many individuals at times and no team spirit perhaps.
3 brilliant goals, from a clever set up at the corner ( reminded me of Graham Taylor at Villa when he got all the players in a huddle before the corner came in and when they split often the defenders missed their man) to a brilliant turn in the box to finally a superb cross and header for the third. Add the Belgium goal which was a brilliant strike and there were certainly some good goals for the neutral.
So on to Portugal who have been misfiring all tournament and we are in with a chance of making the final.....never thought I would hear myself saying that. However we all know Wednesday is starting with a clean slate and it all depends who gets the luck on the night.....we had some last night with the Lukaku and Fellaini headers in the second half so I hope we haven't used it all up.
The pecking order of football seems to be getting a bashing from teams like Leicester winning the EPL through to teams like Iceland and now Wales on the European stage. Long may it last. Wales v Iceland for the final...........I don't think so
