When you need a game changed who else are you going to call on?

[tidus_mi2]

So for all those teams around the world who supposedly were putting in offers for HRK after one Cruyff turn, how many of them have withdrawn their offers after tonight's performance?

If the answer is Church you're asking the wrong question

Remind me, who are England playing in the other semi?

[genome]

I think I jinxed it.

Oh well, the Germans are going to win anyway.

[Hoop Blah]

I thought Wales were pretty poor last night and went out without really putting up much of a fight. Imagine if England had put in that kind of performance having got to a semi-final, there certainly wouldn't have been so many smiles and pats on the back for giving it a go.

Ramsey was obviously a massive miss for them. For all the talk of them being a one man team, if they were then that one man was Ramsey all tournament.

When people talk about supporting Wales I can't forget that Cardiff fans will be there and at home rooting for their country.
If ever there were a group that should never be supported it is them for what they have done in terms of football violence home and away for many years.
Remember when their fans who were old enough to know better were hurling bricks and stones at our children back in the day when, at the same time, the boys in blue (police not Cardiff fans) cowered behind their riot shields whilst children had no cover at all.

For that reason and because they have two of the softest players ever to wear the blue and white hoops I hope they get stuffed although I do like Ashley Williams, Chris Coleman and Piercey who used to post on this site.

bit like saying how much you despise England because of Chelsea....but you like JT

Yes, a bit like that.
Back to normal for Kanu and Gunter-Kanu anonymous and Gunter back to crossing to nobody.
A good tournament though for Wales.
Lol @ Cerys Matthews on TV this morning talking of legacy and how Welsh kids will be inspired to kick a ball-just like her own that live in London and just like every kid became sport-orientated as a legacy of our London Olympics and every kid got a tennis racket after Murray won Wimbledon.

A nice idea but the legacy seldom seems to mean anything especially as I would guess that most Welsh kids already kick a ball of some shape.

Kanu was getting rave reviews in the first half on French tv. He did a couple of good turns and a decent cross. Second half he faded and was subbed.

Gunter no worse than the rest of the team, seemed reasonable to me. But not good enough on the night

Yep 'greed. Gunter no worse than any of his team m8s last night.
Generally thought Wales were way too timid - didn't want to risk a forward pass in case they were exposed if it went wrong so ended up with endless sideways passes on the halfway line.

[Hoop Blah]

To me Wales just looked like they were happy to have overachieved and made it to the semi-final and knowing they would get applauded for that.

At no point did I think they looked like they were really fighting to get to the final. I'm sure they were though, perhaps it was just a game too far.

[double d]

Harsh for Germany

[Silver Fox]

The refs have favoured France a bunch this tournament but that is shocking

[double d]

That was on par with the opening game ref from 2014 wc. That was never in a million years a penalty.

[Ian Royal]

Bastard French getting a dodgy penalty.

Still, Germany have really lacked the incisive killer blow this tournament. They had the possession, but they rarely worked Loris. It was a bit like watching a capable, fluid and technically good England. Especially that moment of suicide in the box for the French second.

[tulip]

Nobbing from Normandy, great party going on here. Highly enjoyed watching Germany get beaten.

It's just a pity France couldn't lose as well.

[Sutekh]

Bit of a crap final really, don't want either side to win. Suppose I'd have to go for the French though if pushed as at least they try to play football and don't have el whino in their team.

Needed Klose* more than anything else. Gomez injury really did for them.

*or similar rat-faced goal-hanging goal machine.

Thing is, we don't know what teams from around the world are interested. They could be Afan Lido, Fuerte San Francisco, Mai Anbessa and Depotivo W@nka.
