Wales fans at Euro 2016: We are no longer the underdogs

"Don't take me home, please don't take me home."

That has been chanted by fans in France from the very start of Euro 2016.

It is Welsh supporters who had the honour of singing it for the longest amongst the home nations though.

Their team created history by making the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.

But despite being knocked out by Portugal, Wales fans in France and others back home were keen to get a message to their manager and players.

"Well done boys, keep up this momentum and carry it onto Moscow for the World Cup," says 23-year-old Morgan Thomas.

"Carry this on and we can all go on another adventure."

Sion Davies from Cardiff also wants manager Chris Coleman and the team to build on their achievements.

"We've proved now that we can compete with some of the best nations and that's what we've got to keep in our mind-set," he says.

"We are no longer the underdogs."

Matthew Bird was in Lyon with friends to watch Wales in action.

Euro 2016 was their first major tournament since 1958 and he wants the players to know how proud he is of them.

"They have done the nation proud and it's been amazing," he says.

"Everybody, the whole country, has got behind them and we just had to be here to see them.

"It's been an incredible experience - well done boys."

In Rhyl, Emily had a simple message for Gareth Bale and his teammates.

"Thank you for getting us this far," she says.

"I'm really proud to be Welsh. Unlucky on not getting through but you have done us all proud."

"We've waited since 1958 and we will always remember this moment because Wales have made us proud," says Leigh Pritchard.

"We've made history."
