I agree that time was more disappointing for england fans(but not me :S)
I do think they were a bit unfortunate in 2004 though, if rooney hadn't broke his foot and urs meier didnt disallow the goal they could well have progressed v portugal and had a good chance of going on to win it... of course "If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas"... Funny how it was big phil scolari who put england out three tournaments in a row too ..
1-1 goal for wales

What a night. I don't even believe its happened. Wales in the Semis of a tournament where getting a single point in the group stages would have made me amazingly happy. This just doesn't even compute.
This is possibly the best summer that has ever been in the history of everything, ever.
Glorious wonderful super smashing great WALE'S in the semi- finals.
Never expected this one bit.😂
haha amazing! and the best thing is wales actually have a fairly good chance of making the final, portugal havent won a game in the 90 minutes, infact they only won a game by beating croatia in extra time and then the penalty shootout :S portugal have been far from convincing... As fun as wales have been I think portugal will be too much for them, cronaldo isnt scoring and has had 40 something shots and 2 goals :S but he looks very dangerous and is just waiting to burst into life, the new bayern player has also looked great, definently the young player of the tournament so far but apart from those two portugal don't have too much (nani is pretty good to be fair)... will be a really good semi final as long as the occasion doesnt get the welsh and I don't think it will as they seem really up for this ! I am picking portugal to advance though.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Not sure why it should be England.
With the exception of Euro 96, England haven't performed like that in the last 50 years!
Even in Italia 90, they cobbled their way to the Semis nearly getting knocked out by Cameroon and winning against Belgium with the last kick of Extra time.
Infact the only other time Wales qualified for a finals , they got to a quarter Final and lost 1-0 to Brazil with some young kid getting the winner. I'm not sure if he went on to do much , Pele I think he was called.
What happened to England in that tournament? Oh yeah , they didn't get out of their group. Northern Ireland did though! 😂😂😂
As much as it pains me that showed England what it takes - be a team and be passionate. Unfortunately our boys will be back on their 150k a week salaries and won't care.
I want the Wales Portugal semi to go to penalties and it to go on forever with neither team ever getting to the final.
As for England I don't know what the answer is.
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Mate, that's the whole problem with being an England fan...the expectation is too great. For me, every win has been a bonus, and two more wins would be the biggest bonus of all.
We've got two good quality Premier League players, James Collins and Andy King coming in for Ben Davies and Aaron Ramsey, so while we'll miss Aaron, I don't think Portugal can be complacent.
pepe also hasn't done anything insane yet, that's not like him, surely he is due a sending off soon, maybe it'll happen v wales :S
