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:
Portugal v Wales (20:00 BST) Posted at 18:53
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.

"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.
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.
