Church's off the ball movement is terrible.

He just runs in a straight line towards the goal every time.

Had their moments I guess. This is a reasonable defensive display but without Ramsey Wales don't seem to have enough craft. In fact in general they really haven't played teams you'd expect to score a lot of goals. Iceland Austria Hungary Croatia Poland Wales, sounds like a qualifying group yet it's going to see them into the final with one win inside 90 :-/

Agree with that.

I was shocked how poor Croatia were that night, but finishing third and one win in 90 and getting to a final is just outrageous

Unfair comments towards Bale - when your labelled as a tailsman for your team and rightly so in his case, there's a pressure to do more than just a defined role. His problem seems tonight is he seems to be trying to do too much - but it's difficult not to do that given his status in the side and reduced supporting cast.

2 of those topped their groups though (groups including us and Spain), and one came 2nd only to Germany on goal difference.

Not saying they've been spectacular, or even good, but they've recognised what they've got and used it.

Ashley Williams needs to roll his proverbial sleeves up and do a big Wes, go wading up the middle of the pitch with some ridiculous dribble.

if ronaldo had put this bale performance in lol

Portugal have simply played a canny game. Waited, taken their chances, now behind the ball

As you rightly say, if Wales had done this, Coleman would be hailed as a tactical genius.

Gutted for Wales. They have missed Ramsey and bale has been poor. They should be proud though and looks good for next world cup.

He has for most of the tournament

3 goals a piece, same amount of assists (?) and one has lead his nation to a final. decent that there's a very real chance ronaldo top scores and portugal win it and people think that's a bad tournament lol.

This game makes it clear. However average Bale has been, his teammates are not in the same league as him. They don't read his passes, his flicks and tricks. He's miles better than any of them. Big shame that Ramsey is out cos he's the only player that can get anywhere near him.

Sugar coat it all you like, he hasn't turned up... two goals came against Hungary who were smashed by Belgium... Ronaldo is obviously a class act but don't pretend he has been good this tournament...
