"Don't be afraid to dream!"

So said Chris Coleman, last night, after witnessing his Welsh players deliver the game of their lives. Wales stunned Belgium, one of the tournament favourites, to advance to the semi-final of Euro 2016. Goals from Ashley Williams, Hal Robson Kanu and Sam Vokes did for the Belgians, 3-1, and set up a last four clash with Portugal. The Guardian's front page headline, and a fantastic picture of the Welsh players celebrating after Vokes' header, summed up what one nation has been muttering ever since Williams' headed in an equaliser to spark a stunning comeback.
