Me too, Humph. The victory over Belgium was a stunning performance, better than anything we've seen from England since that 4-1 against the Netherlands (sorry, Dutchie) in 1996. Twenty years ago!
It's reasonable for a team to aim to overachieve a little; sport regresses to the mean in most cases, so you hope the important results are in the top half of the performance distribution. (England seem to put most of theirs in the bottom half.) But I think Wales have redefined what they think their distribution looks like. That's very special, to realize you can do better than you ever thought possible. Well played.
