Speaking of Gunter, how gutting is it that his header didn't sneak in? That would have been a fine first ever goal for Wales.
I'll say it one more time: we were the 4th seeds in the group and finished in the top 2. A huge achievement.

It’s great. Through to the knock out stages again. Anything else is a bonus for me.Originally Posted by surge
I keep seeing people calling for his inclusion, he's not been in either matchday squad at the Euros, didn't come on in the pre-tournament friendlies and has had limited time in competitive games. It would really come out of nowhere if he did start.
Awesome result, only losing 1-0 to Italy at home, their form and considering the red card (poor tackle but yellow for me especially as the ref was happy to keep his cards in his pocket for the italians).
Also fairly happy considering we managed to avoid too many bookings despite being down to 10 (is Ampadu out for 1 or 3 games in a tournament?).
2nd as 4th seeds is great, even after our last euros how are we 4th seeds? Will this finish at least improve our seed if we qualify for 2024?
Finland or Russia in Amsterdam wow that would be amazing…..
It could be Denmark and that would be tough.
Impressed with their performance against Belgium despite the result. Hopefully Russia can shithouse a draw which should be enough for us to face them
Post match interviews....anyone else think Ramsey SO much more articulate than Bale?? Bale starts every answer with ' yeah. no....' reminds me of someone....
We'd lose to Denmark. Fancy our chances against Finland or Russia though, I watched them play each other and they were two poor sides.
I said about 2 years or so ago that Ampadu had an important sending off in him..I was nearly right.
Hope he grows up a bit after that.
We definitely learnt from that experience.
Wow to get through this group in some achievement
A defeat against the impressive Italians, but Wales head to Amsterdam and the knock out stages.

What is exciting, and probably needs some understanding, is how the experienced squad members are now giving back to what is in many ways a really young squad. Lots of twists and turns to come in the future but first Amsterdam to look forward to.Another fine tournament display. The experienced regulars are sailing off into less populated age brackets, but there's a wave of battle hardened youngsters beginning to flood the peak age. "Dan James for the future".
There’s a rebuild project on the way. Will need patience and understanding.

They're a good, solid international side but I would absolutely back us to beat them, especially with no Eriksen and at a neutral venue.
Good piece as usual Paul.
Just one point - the population of Iceland is around 360,000 not over 600,000 which made their achievement in 2016 even more impressive.
