Gareth Bale....World record signing.....physically powerful.......a man possessed. Bale has taken Euro 2016 by storm and no one expected them to be vying for a berth in the Semifinal considering this is their first Major tournament! Wales are proving everyone wrong and arch rivals England bowing out against iceland will be extra motivation for them which will try and help their desire to beat Belgium. Aaron ramsey and bale combined to devastating effect in creating and finish off chances and their defense has so far not failed them. With star defender Ashley williams injured in their previous game the credentials of welsh defense will be called into question against the creative belgians. While Belgium started the tournament in an abysmal manner they have improved as the tournament went on and they have bamboozled an inspired Hungary side 4-0 in the round of 16 and Romelu Lukaku suddenly sprang to life after the initial criticism questioning his 65 million pound price tag.
If there is one man who can match gareth bales speed and trcikery in this tournament its Chelsea's Eden Hazard who had an in different premier league season but has come to life during the euros lighting up the stndiums. Lukaku and hazard combined with Manchester city's Kevin de bruyne and Atleticos yannick carrasco can match any attacking football team in the world on their day. The question really is will belgium be able to replicate the same form they showed against Hungary and Ireland. Thomas Meunier will have a hard day at work trying to contain gareth bales explosive runs and considering thomas is an attack minded right back and formerly a winger its going to be an extremely tricy day for Belgium and Gareth bale is more than capable to make a strong defense look idiotic any day. It will be important for the belgian defensive midfielders witsel and Nainggolan to cut out the supply from ramsey to bale which the welsh used to devastating effect against Russia and northern ireland. All in all Belgium have the better chance considering they are not a team depending on one or two individuals and they have a team full of quality players playing for elite clubs in europe and not to mention one of the best Goal keepers in Thibaut Courtois. With Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi and Liverpools Benteke available on the bench belgium has a wealth of attacking options to call on and it will be considered an upset if Wales manage to defeat them.
Prediction : 2-1 to Belgium
