Wales and Iceland MADE this tournament. Now, with Portugal in the final, well.... I'm reminded of WC 1990 when an awful Argentinian side somehow fluked their way through to the final despite finishing 3d in their group and stinking up the tournament with each game more awful than the one before, and worthier sides such as Brazil and Cameroon were eliminated.

Oh well, 'tis the nature of the sport...

Wales played really well, and it's worth noting that whilst they do have Gareth bale, they are far from being a "one man team"

Agree with you.
But in last two matches, Aaron Ramsey was also good.
He isn't stable!
