Unbelievable. Just was we saw France do what England couldn't and tear Iceland to shreds Griezmann did the business and got himself onto the score sheet, providing us with another winner, this one at 17/10. That takes the blog onto -6.17 and if I can have a few bigger winners we might even reach profit for the tournament. Na, I doubt it as well but we may as well dream...
Day 21 - Portugal vs Wales
Well, I must admit before the tournament I did not have Wales down as semi-finalists. However, fair play to Chris Coleman and his team as they have shown what a good morale, team spirit and a canny bit of talent can do with hard work and determination. After they demolished Belgium in the quarter finals they face a Portuguese side yet to win a game in 90 minutes. And I really like the Welsh's chances of progression to the Euro 2016 final here.
The thing is Aaron Ramsey is ruled out, as is Ben Davies, through suspension and they are two massive losses to this team. Ramsey has arguably been one of the players of the tournament and whoever replaces him will have huge shoes to fill; probably either Andy King or Jonny Williams. Williams was actually pretty decent when coming off the bench against Northern Ireland 2 games ago. However, what ever happens its safe to say this will be billed as Ronaldo vs Bale. And if this is actually the case, Wales win as Bale has been very good so far, Ronaldo far less so. But we all know football is a team game...
And this is why I love the Welsh. You just have to see the celebrations after their win over Belgium to see just how good their team-spirit is, how they work for each other and how they are a closely knit side. They are improving every match, and against Belgium they were sensational. I think at 10/3 for the win in 90 minutes they are a huge price and they are the bet of day 21
Wales to win 10/3
