Euro footballing competition

yes, im afraid they were 2nd best on the night, but a great acheivement...

hope to see a few more sparks tonight....

Seemed to be a lot of celebrating, for a team that lost (and apparantly, played badly).

Is that how it works in footballing? 

If so, surely the England footballers must be heros?

Surely they are allowed to celebrate, having achieved so much more than was expected of them, and have perhaps inspired many more welsh kids to get interested in sport.!!

Ian is see your team in your sweep stake lost in the other semi final, bit of a shock really as Germany are the current world champions.

Skill wise and possession wise Germany seemed the better side. Tactically France played better, particularly in defence. As they say, there is more than one way to win a game! Well done France.

Yes, same as the olympics was supposed to do. It lasts about 5 minutes, until something else falls into their gaze.....

I think there are prizes down to third place.......did they come third?

I hope everyone enjoys the experience. The team did well and the fans were very supportive. Loved the team applauding and acknowledging the fans at the end if the game.  Hopefully this is only the beginning of their success. They certainly seemed very proud to be playing for their country.
