    You start to think is our name on it? Nobody expected it to happen. Chris Coleman almost resigned four years ago after we lost 6-1 to Serbia. This will do so much to the country.

    No arguments there.

    A bit of 'You Love Us' to fade out Match of the Day.

    Let's hope we don't hear 'From Despair To Where' any time soon.

    Portugal haven't won a game at this tournament. Got to really fancy Wales. I know the Ramsey suspension is big but they can do it! #believe, external

    It is a massive blow for Aaron Ramsey to miss out on the semi-final after his booking, he has picked up four assists and a goal in the tournament so far.

    Andy King could come in though. Premier League winner, Euro 2016 winner...?

    Wales captain Ashley Williams: "I'm pleased [to score]. I'm more pleased we got through. I don't score many goals. 

    "It's hard to take in at the minute. I think we responded well. 

    "We were ever so pleased to get here, and then get out of the group. I don't know what it means until I go home tonight and take it all in. 

    "We're not looking that far [winning the tournament] yet. We've got a difficult game to come."

    Wales goalscorer Hal Robson-Kanu: "Fantastic. We did well to get back into the game. We knew if we kept playing like in the first half we'd get our just rewards. It's hard to describe. 

    "We've worked so hard for this over the last eight years. Long may it continue. 

    "We played them a few times in the past few years and know how to play against them. We kept to our game plan. We've got world-class players - we can be as solid as a rock defensively. With those two combined we stand a good chance."

    That Sam Vokes goal may well be my favourite goal I've seen in a long, long time. What a header...

    Wales boss Chris Coleman: "I'm really happy for Sam Vokes. He doesn't always start but he always turns up and works so hard. For Ashley Williams, he doesn't score many, but what a leader. Hal Robson-Kanu, wow, what a performance.

    "Don't be afraid to have dreams. Four years ago I was as far away from this as you could imagine. I've had more failures than successes but I'm not afraid to fail. We deserve this."

    Gareth Bale has played his part but there are others who made this team tonight. Joe Allen and Joe Ledley were absolutely superb in midfield. Allen was brilliant with the ball, we have a solid back five or three and Hal Robson Kanu, who hasn't got a club, produced his best performance in a Wales shirt.

    Wales boss Chris Coleman: "When you have players like Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale and Joe Allen, you've got to play football. Get the best out of your best players, and you get the best out of your team. 

    "Our only gripe in the England game was we didn't pass the ball - we have in every other game.

    "We wanted to come and show people we can be a very offensive team. And we've done that."

    Scenes here that will be remembered long after these players are gone. Long after I'm gone. Long after we are all gone.

    Just wonderful pictures in Lille.

    It was fantastic. They had an absolute identity in the way they were going to play. The shape and understanding, everyone willing to put their bodies on the line, it was great. They've allowed a nation to start believing.

    Their fans have to take some credit.
