Tough on Ginge

Good to see James Collins finally get a game with Wales last night. He was a bit lucky not to concede a penalty for some grappling in the box, but generally had a sound game getting in some good headers, before being subbed as Wales chased the game. Portugal's second goal took a lucky deflection and there was some confusion as Collins held back and Williams, trying to play offside, lost Nani, who scored. But Wales were certainly winners overall at this tournament and Collins is now a Welsh legend having played in a European Championship semi-final.

The Ginger Pele dealt with the Show Pony really well, so I was baffled why Chester was marking him for that corner...

Yes, Chester was far too short to do the job.
