    Chris Coleman is certainly bringing the best out of his players. "Don't be afraid to dream" he says. Trouble is, for most of us mortals, they don't come true Chris.

    Spare a thought for the other side. I'd almost forgotten Mousa Dembele was at the tournament. The Spurs man was an unused sub last night.

    What a potentially tumultuous climax to an incredible journey.. 

  9. Dean Saunders and the car parkpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 2 July 2016

    Dean Saunders has been creating some intrigue with his car parked at Birmingham airport. The former Wales international, who is part of the BBC commentary team for the Euros in France, left the car in the short stay car park, perhaps not expecting such a lengthy run in the tournament for his side.

    Some club pride from Burnley, ahead of their Premier League return.

  11. A squad gamepublished at 13:45

    More from James Chester in the spirit within the Welsh squad.

    "All the lads who haven’t played, it has been difficult for them but they have been great. I know myself how difficult it is to be watching every week so their attitude has been great towards the ones who have been playing. 

    "They have looked after themselves really well in training so whoever comes in I am sure they will do a good job.

    "We spoke before the tournament about coming here and showing people our identity and playing the way we have done through qualifying which has put us in good stead and think for the most part apart from the England game we have done that and got results."

    Ironic to think that England are the only team to beat Wales so far..with an injury-time Daniel Sturridge toe poke...

  12. 'A match for anybody'published at 13:35

    So can Wales see off Ronaldo's Portugal? More from his former Manchester United colleague James Chester. I'm sure Cristiano will be delighted to catch up and swap shirts after the game on Wednesday won't he?

    Here are Chester's thoughts on whether Wales can win again. "I don’t see any reason why not. 

    "They have had to go through extra-time twice which is of benefit to us and I think if we play like we have done tonight and fight for each other the way we have done tonight, then we will be a match for anybody."

    John's talking about the match last night, not the prospect of the bookies losing all that money.

    If Wales were to win Euro 2016 a £20m payout could be on the cards. No, not the bar bill across the country, but from bookmakers, who originally priced Chris Coleman's team at 66-1 and have now cut that to 8-1.

    "On the whole it's been a relatively bookie friendly tournament with favourites falling at every stage however Wales victory could end up in an industry wide payout of £20m," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. 

    That could be just like Wales watching the England-Iceland game.

    So how will Wales approach Wednesday's semi-final with Portugal? Here's combative, hirsute midfielder Joe Ledley: "We will look at it as just another game. 

    We cannot look at the final, we have to focus on the semi-final and take it game by game like we have done. We are a step closer but it doesn’t mean anything. Once we cross that line against Portugal we will give everything that we have got again. 

    "We have proven what a good team we can be. It is going to be a difficult game but we will enjoy it and enjoy the atmosphere. Everyone at home is buzzing and it is fantastic to see."

    Those celebrations can never been seen too many times surely?

  17. Player ratingspublished at 13:00

    Surely the entire Wales team would receive 10s for their performance last night? It's not about the individuals of course with the Welsh, it's the team ethic, the Band of Brothers mentality. That renowned hard taskmaster Mr Chris Bevan has been dissecting them individually though, not literally, and here are his ratings....no 10s?!...he's a Welshman as well....commendable objectivity.

    A lot of people will see Wednesday's match as Bale v Ronaldo of course. Just how well do those lads get on? Anyway, here's Neil Taylor of Wales with his thoughts on the two Real Madrid sharpshooters locking horns.

    "It is good that two of the world’s best players can meet at this part of the tournament, which is why we are so happy for Gareth and players like him, that we have managed to get him to this part of the tournament where he can really affect games and show what he is all about.

    "But I think tonight we showed we are about more than just that and we are definitely a team. We had three different scorers and I should have scored myself – it was a very good save. 

    "I think we showed again we are about the team – the subs that came on did really well too. Apart from a goal we could not do anything about, there was not much threat really."

    Next up for Wales of course is Portugal and a certain C Ronaldo. West Brom defender Chester began his career at Manchester United and says of the early days with twinkle toes: "He was at United when I was a young lad. 

    "I think what I took from him was the same as everyone else who was there playing at the top of the game, what good professionals they were and how they looked after themselves away from the pitch is something I have took through my career and has taken me as far as I have got today. 

    "Just watching him, I am well aware of how fortunate I was coming through at united, at such a big club and just to watch them how they behaved and played has helped me through my career."
