UEFA asks players to keep their children off the grass

I see this one ending level after regulation-time, a 21/10 shot, with Wales capitalizing on Portugal’s exhausted legs in order to seal a historic place in the Final after extra-time; 20/1.

Both teams will battle it out for a final spot against the victor of the second semi-final between France and Germany. The final is Sunday in Saint Denis.

Chris Coleman has told Portugal to expect a “streetwise” Wales in their Euro 2016 semi-final.

“It’s not about two players, everyone knows that, it’s about two nations in a semi-final”, insisted Bale on Tuesday in a bid to defuse the billing of he and Ronaldo’s all-star showdown. Ronaldo has been named the world’s top player three times and was second a year ago to Argentina’s Lionel Messi. But he failed to find the net against Iceland, Austria, Croatia and Poland. I don’t need Wales football to remind me of my friend.

While Ronaldo has had many more goal attempts – 32 to Bale’s 20 – only nine of his efforts have been on target. Portugal then won on penalties 5-3.

Bale leads by three goals to two with Ronaldo having an extra assist. Portugal will be without William Carvalho for the semifinals due to yellow card accumulation suspension.

UEFA’s request to the Wales football federation was first reported on Monday by The Associated Press.

On this EURO Wales just loss one match and that were against England on the group stage match.

– Fernando Santos is unbeaten in his 12 competitive fixtures as Portugal boss, with all eight of their wins during this time coming by a single goal.

If Bale and co. reach the final, he might face German midfielder Toni Kroos, his teammate in Real who have looked down upon Wales before the start of the tournament. He is +542 to be the game’s first goalscorer.

He says it is not necessary because they have “been watching him long enough and it’s not just about one player” and Wales’ focus, as he has stressed throughout the competition, will be on themselves.

Wales’ underdog run comes to an end as Portugal wins 1-0. That exact result is +464.
