17. 2 big losses though for Wales due to yellow card accumulation

Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies. Not having Ramsey is going to sting. He is the spring on their clockwork.

Also Belgium was just decimated in their back four as Jan Vertonghen (injured) and Thomas Vermaelen (yellow card suspension) were out. Pre tournament they already had lost 4 other defenders to injury, Nicolas Lombaerts, Dedryck Boyata, Björn Engels and their captain, Vincent Kompany.

Lombaerts, Kompany and the 2 who missed this game are all world class defenders. It really showed tonight. Wilmots is a shite manager too.

I don't see how Wales can beat Portugal without Ramsey unless Bale has a superhuman game. He could possibly do it.

Italy has never lost in history to Germany on a competitive match. I think that streak finally ends.

France should end Iceland's run.

Germany over France, then they crush Portugal in the final.

If France beats Germany, same thing.
