There's some great stuff on the BBC on the build up to the game...

Wales are preparing for the biggest game in their history when they play Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday for a place in the final of Euro 2016. Chris Coleman's side have already enjoyed a memorable run to reach their first semi-final at their only major tournament since 1958.
More than half of Wales' population of three million are expected to watch their country take on regular European semi-finalists Portugal - eclipsing the national television record for a sporting event, which was only set on Friday for their 3-1 quarter-final victory over Belgium.
Any news if Pepe is fit for Portugal?
Yeah, I nicked TISS's joke and posted it in the comments.
Portugal wait on Pepe’s fitness for Wales semi-final but José Fonte is ready....

Have Portugal played any of their games in that stadium?
See, a red and blue stadium looks quite nice.....

Pepe out
King and Collins in is the word at the moment
The BBC think Pepe is playing:

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale hugs his team-mate Pepe and asks if he's playing tonight.
I think the defender nodded.
Both sets of players are out for the customary pre warm-up perambulation.
We'll find out soon enough.
Edit - we've found out:

There are three changes for Portugal tonight - and Real Madrid defender Pepe is not fit to take his place.
He is replaced by 34-year-old Bruno Alves. Also in are Danilo and Raphael Guerreiro.

Poor bugger struggling to hold him up
"Vincent Tan is currently in Lyon for the Wales game, looking to purchase a ticket for Wales vs Portugal." 3 hours ago from Welsh football fans
Someone on the comments said, "See, I told you red was lucky"
Ridiculous that we both have to wear away kits.
Why is that? Surely our home kit wouldn't clash with their pyjamas?
Portugal classed as home side but decision was that their home kit was too close to our away kit so both had to change.
Are they pissed or colour blind?
Christ boys, stop pissing around with the ball at the back!
C'mon Wales
I hate Joe Allen.
He just bugs me. I desperately hope he scores tonight because I can see this game being lost by an error and can see it coming from him.
