    There isn't a better way.If there was it would have happened already.

    It a test of skill and nerve and if the game itself can't separate the teams then this is probably the best way unless as I suggested earlier you play until a goal is scored which could become farcical with players going down with cramp all the time and it just being an endurance test.

    If Northern Ireland go out today, we can use their players tomorrow right?

    You're the only one suggesting playing on...

    As I said, and you repeated, there likely is no better way... And again, that doesn't mean it's not shît. We can do this all day

    One thing is for sure, Bale is a class above every other player on the pitch and he isn't even playing that well!

    Ashley Williams looks injured, could play to NI favour if they get a chance

    Ramsey was miles better today, Bale had a touch of the trying to do everything yourself about him.

    Ashley Williams has to go off, he could cost his team with a probable broken arm.

    Would be a pity if he couldn't play in quarter final after getting this far. Well done Wales.

    How would we ever manage without George Hamilton's wisdom?
    He just informed us that Wales are the quarter finals of the Euro Championship for the first time. This isn't surprising because it is their first Euro Championship.
    The other night he informed us that Ireland are the round of 16 for the first time. This isn't surprising either because this is the first time there has been a round of 16 in a Euro Championship!

    Is there any way we could eliminate Croatia and Portugal together?

    No shots on target. (Said the TV3 link)

    You are correct but Im hoping It's not the subject that's relevant.

    It's the fighting spirit, determination and warrior instinct that we hope is displayed today.
