turned up tonight and bale didn't. goals in the group stage or goals in the semis?

Ain't having that.

Ronaldo is playing with much better players than Bale.

Moutinho or Jonny Williams?

Sanches or Joe Ledley?

Etc.

Not been particularly great though... he has done his job but nothing like his best stuff

Goal and assist in a 2-0 win? Yeah I'd say he's done his job...

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.

Not really much of an effort to finish above us, we got knocked out by Iceland. And obviously the other did, they won the group Portugal finished third in.

As for Poland the other way of looking at that is they only finished above a team with League one and two players in their squad and the team that somehow lost st to them 2-0.

he scored a goal and he set up another goal and its 2-0. what more do you want him to do? go in goal and save bale's shots? man mark sam vokes?

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.

*cough* King *cough*

And Croatia won their group.

Not lose the ball so often, have pointless pot shots and stop wasting set pieces...

Wales never really in it or look like scoring. Portugal very professional but it's a bit shit that a team that would normally have gone out in the group stages is in the final.

Yeah fair play but they were dreadful against Portugal. I actually fancied them to make the final once they had got themselves on that side of the draw

lol at giggs 'this is the beginning'.

Mate it's the end, they're not going to be semi finalists every year are they.

Given its every two years yep probably a certainty

Yeh it reflects how poor the tournament has been.

They haven't played well once, not even tonight.

Pretty irrelevant that Portugal won tonight as they'll get bum raped in the final by Germany anyway.

Do not get that horrible feeling Ronaldo will have his shirt off in celebration come the end of the final?

this is talking about bale right?

Parabens Portugal. We were off key tonight. As much as I admire Andy King we missed Ramsey. We were also too cautious. Better to have gone out 5-0 with all guns blazing. Still proud. And bring it on Welsh haters... ;-)
