That was a great win for Wales and I like that they'll probably be at Euro 2016....but c'mon, Belgium are as much the 2nd best international team as West Brom are the 2nd best Premier League team.
They're a team who's parts are much better than their total sum.

Gareth Bale you are a ing legend. I can't believe this Welsh team is doing it. It really can't be overlooked how well the rest of the team is doing either. 3 of the 4 at the back tonight play in the Championship, and they kept out the number 2 side in the world... For the second time. Only Argentina have kept a clean sheet against Belgium in 30 international games. We've done it twice. Credit to Coleman too, i thought he was a no hoper who would set us back years. He is proving everyone wrong right now. Mostly the credit goes to Bale though. Very proud to be Welsh. It would be awful if we didn't qualify now and ive become cautiously optimistic we can't let it slip now. Perfectly summed up my thoughts. Just wish I was there.

Beginning to think Belgium are a lot like England from the 2000's, all fantastic players (Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard, Owen, Ferdinand to name 5) in their own right but can never play as a team. Can't take the victory away from Wales though, only saw 70 minutes but we're value for victory, immense atmosphere too.

Aside from the first 20 minutes and last 10 they never looked like scoring and we really should have had made it 2-0. They really need a different type of striker up front. Benteke is a beast but they play a lot of balls across the 6 yard box and there's no one there to get on the end of it. Lukaku was a joke when he came on.

Anyone been watching much Copa America? Hard to put a finger on who's going to win it so far. It's a strange competition to prepare for, some teams get a fair bit of time to play a good few games leading up to it. Argentina for example haven't played together since a friendly in November (although that doesn't excuse how inept Martino has been so far). I think Brazil will end up being the freshest and most prepared side in, a toss up between them and Chile to win it for me.

Loved Colombia during the World Cup, but they have been poor on all accounts in this Copa America. Glad to see the back of them.

Haven't been watching the Copa America to be honest, been watching a bit of the Women's World Cup as I've had a couple of bets on some games haha.

Glad to see England get to the Semi's but in all honesty the standard is so, so poor I just don't have any time for it. Saw Brazil get dumped out of the Copa America at the Quarters by Paraguay again, bottling the big game with Argentina once more. Easily the poorest Brazil side of my lifetime. Dunga was the most 'un-brazilian' of Players, and now he's pieced together the most 'un-brazilian' of sides. Paraguay punching above their weight again though.

Yeah the standard of the Women's World Cup is a disgrace, being over my Girlfriends house I've had to watch some of it through gritted teeth, it's just awful to watch.

You know it's a poor Brazil team when Robinho's still starting for them.

Yeah I was a bit surprised by how low the quality of the women's football was. I still watched it because....y'know....England. But it was definitely ugly.

Argentina vs Chile Final in the Copa America then, predicted that from the get go. Tough one to call, but you'd think Argentina should just edge it, especially if Messi plays the way he's been playing this Tournament and the others can continue to put the ball in the net. Will be a tight Game though.

Was successful in my Ticket Application for Euro 2016 next Summer. Have four Group Games in Paris, Marseille, Lille and Lens over a two week period. Can't wait.

Won tickets to the Israel game on Sunday. Landed, tried to buy tickets but they had all gone. Hoping for a win tonight, although a draw will do.

Watching some Scotland/Georgia and yikes. Scotland just doesn't look threatening at all.

Scotland are wank, but watch us do something ridiculous like beat Germany on Monday. So unreliable

Shame Wales didn't get the win they deserved. Can see us drawing in Bosnia and leaving it late, just nicking a goal against Andorra.
