Euro: QF: Wales vs. Belgium, 7/1/2016

[Theokritos]

If you acquire 2 yellows over 5 matches, you miss the next match. But yeah, let's blame the players, not the rulemakers.

Not if you haven't acquired another yellow before. That's three cards.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

**** yeah!!!!!!

 

[Boston Bruno]

Now get rid of Portugal please. They are so undeserving

 

[kihei]

What an astounding result.

 

[YNWA14]

The yellow card rule is absolutely stupid, by the way.

 

[Eisen]

I wonder if someone bet on Wales reaching the semis before the tournament. Like that one guy who bet on Leicester.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Wales vs. Iceland, please!

 

[hatterson]

Not if you haven't acquired another yellow before. That's three cards.

In this tournament the rule is if you get 2 yellows prior to the Semis you miss the next match, so that's 2 in 5 matches = 1 game suspension.

 

[YNWA14]

Bale vs. Ronaldo semi-final.

 

[Eisen]

Not if you haven't acquired another yellow before. That's three cards.

I don't get it. It's not three cards. It's two.

 

[Eisen]

Lol. Goalie doing push ups.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Not if you haven't acquired another yellow before. That's three cards.

Davies acquired a yellow vs. England and his second tonight and will miss the next match. That is 2 cards in 5 matches. So you're wrong.

 

[les Habs]

LOL at camera following Bale around.

 

[ghostnights]

I can't believe this . So happy . Amazing

 

[jniklast]

Yeah that yellow card rule is beyond stupid, it's the same for the World Cup. You want a semi final with the best players and two cards in 5 games really isn't much. Much too harsh.

 

[Live in the Now]

It is still doable I guess. Not a complete death sentence. Sadly I have no idea how they replace Ramsey. Davies is an important player too.

The only replacement for Ramsey is for Bale to play out of his head and render it irrelevant. They could put in Jonathan Williams, he looked good going forward against Slovakia, but that doesn't even come close.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Watching the celebration I wanna congratulate Wales for winning the European championship.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Wales vs. Iceland, please!

This guy gets it

 

[YNWA14]

Jon Williams is quite good actually. Not a horrible replacement. Wales are going to be heavily reliant on Allen and Bale for the Portugal game.

 

[Plural]

This was a good outcome.

after two cautions in two different matches, as well as after the fourth caution.

4 Single cautions from matches in the final tournament expire on completion of the
quarter-finals. They are not carried forward to the semi-finals

 

[GKJ]

Belgium looked like a team that knows they're supposed to win, and don't understand why when they don't or do they think enough on their feet or on the fly.

 

[Cassano]

The yellow card rule is absolutely stupid, by the way.

It is, but Belgium were screwed over by that rule tonight as they couldn't play Vermaelen.

 

[Live in the Now]

As a positive for Wales against Portugal, they're also facing a team full of players that melt under pressure. Carvalho is out for Portugal as well.

 

[Power Man]

I said it before the tournament Belgium is overhyped as ****
