The year of the underdog keeps going from strength to strength.After Leicester City won the Premier League, Wales is now in the European Championship semifinals.Yes, Wales.The country of 3 million people that hasnt played in a major tournament since a goal from 17-year-old Pele put it out of the 1958 World Cup will now get to measure itself against Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal.It did it the hard way: beating Belgiums so-called golden generation of players -- again failing to live up to that billing -- 3-1 in a pulsating match on Friday.Here are five things to know from an astounding result in Lille.---SIGN HIM UP!Hal Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales a 2-1 lead would have made Johan Cruyff, the master of the head-spinning turn, proud.And this from a forward who is out of contract at his club, Reading from Englands second-tier Championship.Quick, boss, sign him up!Collecting Aaron Ramseys cross from the right, Robson-Kanu sent three Belgium players -- defenders Thomas Meunier and Jason Denayer and Marouane Fellaini -- the wrong way with his hip-swiveling turn on a dime, dragging the ball around with him with his left foot.Having made that space for himself, he then coolly fired past Belgium `keeper Thibaut Courtois, again with his left, with all the ruthlessness of Lionel Messi.Robson-Kanu also scored Wales winner in a 2-1 victory in its opening European Championship game against Slovakia.Surely, hell not be without a club for long.---LAME LUKAKUWhile Robson-Kanu put away his chances, Romelu Lukaku squandered them.Among the defining images of Belgiums hot-and-cold Euro 2016 campaign will be the Everton striker with a pained look on his face, ruing another missed opportunity. His failure to have a big impact up front was a fatal weakness in a team bursting with the creative talent of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne.The striker should have scored after seven minutes in Lille when, loosely marked by Wales captain Ashley Williams, he didnt react sharply enough to an inviting ball off a corner.Early in the second half, with Wales under sustained pressure, Lukaku found space in the Wales backline between Williams and James Chester and had time and space to power Meuniers cross past `keeper Wayne Hennessey. Instead, he mistimed his jump and headed the ball wide.Lame.At the other end for Wales, unheralded second-half substitute Sam Vokes showed Belgium how it is done: His perfectly judged glancing header off Chris Gunters cross secured the come-from-behind win for Wales.---WALES SHOWED CHARACTERRadja Nainggolans strike from 30 meters gave Belgium a deserved 1-0 lead after 13 minutes. It was a hammer blow for the Welsh and the disappointment was etched into the face of its star, Gareth Bale.But the Welsh didnt wilt. If anything, falling behind galvanized Chris Colemans team. In a sustained passage of attacking play, they piled players forward.Belgiums players made the mistake of falling back, curbing the forward momentum that had so rattled and stretched Wales in the opening minutes.That Neil Taylor, a defender, nearly got Wales equalizer was a measure of how many Welsh players surged forward. Taylors shot off a cross from Ramsey drew a fabulous reflex double-handed save from Courtois.Six minutes later, Wales efforts paid off, with Williamss headed equalizer.It was deserved.---GOOD NEWS FOR GUNNERSArsenal fans will have liked what they saw from Ramsey, their midfielder, in his Wales shirt against Belgium.Easily recognizable in central midfield with his peroxide blonde hair, Ramsey was the go-between for many of Wales forward forays. He played a key role in Wales equalizer and in Robson-Kanus goal that gave Wales the lead in the 55th minute.For Wales first goal, Ramsey picked out Robson-Kanu on the right wing. The forward muscled past Denayer and won a corner. Ramsey took the kick and it was perfect, landing in the danger area just in front of Courtois.Admittedly, Belgiums marking was woeful, leaving Williams free to run in and stoop his header in.After a surging run, Ramsey also picked out Robson-Kanu with a cross for his goal.If he plays with such vigor and style for Arsenal next season, manager Arsene Wenger will be rubbing his hands in glee.--A COSTLY VICTORY?Unfortunately for Wales, Ramsey will miss the semifinal against Portugal after picking up his second yellow card for a second-half handball. The loss will deprive Wales of its most prolific passer against Belgium.Also suspended will be defender Ben Davies.On the bright side: When Wales players came home from the 1958 World Cup, they were greeted with no fanfare at all, according to Paul Peters book, The Road to 1958. When they arrived by train in Swansea, a ticket collector asked them if theyd been on holiday.After their history-making exploits in Wales first European Championship, there is zero danger of its players enjoying such anonymity this time.---John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

Kirk Gibson Dodgers Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. http://www.ladodgersprostore.us/Corey-Seager-dodgers-jersey/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Sandy Koufax Womens Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Joe Kelly Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void.Ian Holloway gives his predictions ahead of the Football League play-off semi-final second-leg ties. League OneMillwall v Bradford (3-1 agg) - (Friday from 7.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD)Millwall are on a roll. Highlights of Millwalls 3-1 first-leg win at Bradford on Sunday We tried to change things when we went there to get the wage bill down to an acceptable level and get some young players in team, who had the right hunger. They seem in a much better place now than when I first walked in despite being a league lower. With one of their own in the dugout, the whole club is pulling in the right direction and they should get the job done at the Den. OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 8/1)Ollies previous predictions... Walsall v Barnsley (0-3 agg) - (Thursday from 7.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD) Highlights of Barnsleys 3-0 win over Walsall on Saturday I was blown away by Barnsley on Saturday - they were sensational and in Sam Winnall they could have the best player in League One. Not only is he a goal machine, he can also set up his team-mates too. The way he pulled the ball back for Adam Hammill to force the own-goal was equally as impressive as his two goals.Walsall were tactically all over the place. They tried to overplay and didnt suss the impact of the home crowd and the situation - sometimes you have to be more cautious. They now have a mountain to climb against a Barnsley team who have shown automatic promotion form in the league since Christmas. OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-2 (Sky Bet odds 11/1) RESULT - 1-3 (1-6 on agg) - Barnsley reach play-off finalLeague TwoAccrington v Wimbledon (0-1 agg) - (Wednesday from 7.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD) Highlights of AFC Wimbledons 1-0 win over Accrington on Saturday night Accrington are in the same boat as Brighton. They missed out on automatic promotion by the skin of their teeth and now theyre staring down the barrel of play-off heartbreak.However, Ive got so much time for their manager John Coleman and I can see them getting to Wembley.dddddddddddd. Despite them missing out on the final day, Coleman still had enough class to send a txt to Bristol Rovers manager Daryl Clarke to say congratulations. Ive got a soft spot for Accrington and although Neil Ardley has done a magnificent job at Wimbledon, I think Colemans men deserve to go up. The Accrington front pair of Billy Kee and Josh Windass may just be too hot to handle on their own patch.OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 8/1) - RESULT: - 2-2 (2-3) - AFC Wimbledon reach League One play-off finalBrighton v Sheffield Wednesday (0-2 agg) - (Monday from 7.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD)I feel for Chris Hughton - Ive never seen a game like it. A game of such magnitude and importance, and for four of your players to go down, is just unbelievable. In the space of a week they could end up losing everything. However, this is life and football can be unfair at times. Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final second leg between Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday. Hughton is a very experienced man and will do his best to put a team together to trouble a confident Wednesday outfit. Theyve got to claw back a two-goal deficit, but I think theyll give it a good go in front of their home fans, who have to create a raucous atmosphere, like the Wednesday fans did on Friday. I urge the Brighton fans to stay with their team.Can Hughtons boys do it? Of course. Will they? Theyll need everything to go their way. They may just fall short.OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 17/2) - RESULT: 1-1 (1-3) - Sheff Wed reach Championship finalHull v Derby (3-0 agg) - (Tuesday from 7.30pm, Sky Sports 2 HD)Hull were magnificent on Saturday. They performed in a way I expected them to do all season. I expect them to see the job through very easily on Tuesday.What happens at that Derby group? Those players have got to grow some. They lack character. You have to have the will do achieve something, not just the skill. It doesnt really matter who the manager is at Derby, whether its Harry Redknapp and Darren Wassall, theres a massive character flaw within that squad. The crowd went quiet. The team went quiet and they went out with a total whimper. No-one takes responsibility. Derby need to have a complete rebuild - there is something wrong at the club. Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final second leg between Hull City and Derby County. The whole group needs to be looked at and questions need to be asked. Compare it to Middlesbrough, where questions were brought up by their manager, he smashed them into place and they achieved their goal.OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 17/2) - RESULT: 0-2 (3-2) - Hull reach Championship final Also See: Brighton preview Baldock hopeful of turnaround Millwall roar to first-leg win Well go for it Cheap Jerseys [url=
