Just for the record, the one vote for Wales is mine. Actually it was - and I guess still is - wishful thinking, but ... (Austrian with absolutely no interest in Austrian or anyone else's football apart from English one and recently Welsh one, because in general I am an AngloWelshoPhile ever since I first visited either country.)

I put £30 on them winning the competition about a fortnight ago. I'm gonna win close to £1000 if they do it

A few late goals have been killing me especially in the Croatia/Czech game. Have t bet since the knockouts but had 50c left in my online account and back Wales win with both teams at 12/1 to score so back in the game somewhat! Have Ronaldo top scorer and Ronaldo/France from before the tournament still alive for about €300 returns total

Meunier said that belgian team was as good as Real Madrid 2005 with Zidane, Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Raul, etc. And now everyone is calling him a twat. Well, the comparison he has made, is not that bad,tbf. Galactiques haven't won anything aswell

Well, we're out. That hurts.
Four wrong penalties are too many. Especially if they come from strikers like Pellé (who had been great in the matches so far) and Zaza (clown).

Players who do clowny stuff like that when taking a penalty are usually the ones who fail. Just take a few steps and shoot. Intense game anyway, I feel like Germany were better over the course of the entire game, but Italy is never an easy opponent.

I counted 2 chances vs. 2 chances. We did a superb job with one of the least talented Italian teams of all times and with Verratti, Marchisio, Candreva, De Rossi out. Penalties are a lottery, we know.

Penalties are a lottery, we know. and Gomez is out of the euros. Schurle and Mueller arent up to the task he did. And also Hummels, Khedira and Schweni wont play In The semifinals, Germany are out of luck.

hummels has been well covered by howedes/mustafi, muller hasnt done much yet, but he's certainly 'up to the task'. dismiss him at your own peril. and khedira would most likely be covered by kimmich who has been outstanding so far, but neither him or bastian have been ruled out yet. gotze has barely played and we lost reus before it all even started, so i think we can all admit that germany go way deep. they were stuck passing because the italian back line is maybe the best around. italy made an incredible run at the semi's considering their attack...shame this match came so early. the 4 missed penalties from germany this tournament are more than the last 40 years combined (3 missed). they hadnt missed a single penalty in a shoout-out since 1976...some lottery.

deutschland über Alles!!!!! Its illegal to say that in germany no its not...the allies banned the first verse of the anthem after WWII, but it was only dropped by germany at international events. the germans ditched the verse officially after the wall came down, but its not illegal to say/sing the words... it is illegal to give a nazi salute tho. aswell has saying or writing 'sieg heil'...dang. now im in trouble!
