    Welsh defenders are getting isolated and their lack of quality at this level is being exposed.

    Wales equalise. This game feels like a premier league fixture, something like Stoke vs Tottenham or West Ham vs Man City

    I know they've upset a few on here, but imagine what England could do if, just for once, they could play with this kind of spirit and commitment at a major tournament.

    Williams could end up with a hat-trick here if they don't start picking him up at set pieces.

    Good job that Wilmots turned down the Charlton job. He has no idea how to set his side up at defending corners!

    But what do you do when you have 6 players standing on the penalty spot?

    First game I've enjoyed for about a fortnight. Wales looking good. Think they'll end up with nine or ten men though.

    Stand 6 players around them and link arms

    Very good game so far.

    Wales deserve to be level too.

    Ideally a Gareth Bale OG in the 93rd minute whilst trying to clear a cross and breaking his leg on the post, putting Belgium through. That would make my evening.

    Be interesting to see how Belguim set up to deal with the first corner in the 2nd half

    They are going to the final aren't they? In an average tournament what price Greece mk 2? Talk about a turnaround in British football fortunes

    Just what I said out loud to my old man, mendonca would be proud of that, hell even messi would be proud of that turn.

    Belgium being failed by there coach here. Losing Vertonghen and Vermaelen doesn't seem to have helped either.

    If they can get through this Wales can definitely beat Portugal.

    If they do it they'll have earnt it and I'll be pleased for them. Lots of Welsh mates and they're a home nation after all.

    Don't want to jinx them but they've been brilliant so far today. Showed commitment, composure, organization, and imagination.

    Fantastic game this.

    Williams is a rock, Ramsey is just neat and dangerous, Bale so direct. Great to watch.
