Gareth Bale

France's Antoine Griezmann collected the Euro 2016 Golden Boot by scoring six goals, to go along with two assists, and he was also named the player of the tournament by UEFA’s technical observers.

Portugal were always favorites to overcome Wales and advance to the Euro 2016 final, but, for 50 minutes in Lyon, Wales appeared ready to upset the footballing hierarchy once more. It took an inspirational header from Cristiano Ronaldo and a fortunate goal from Nani for Portugal to overcome Wales 2-0 in their Euro 2016 semifinal.

Gareth Bale says he doesn’t listen to Cristiano Ronaldo’s advice on free-kicks, and we gotta say that we fully support this decision.

Bale has scored two free-kicks at Euro 2016 so far, and when asked if his success could be due to advice Ronaldo gave him, Bale had this to say: "No, not really. I do it my way. I like my own style.”

Gareth Bale is already a better leader and winner at 26, than Wayne Rooney has ever been in his almost fifteen year career. That, along with a few other reasons is exactly why Wales will beat England tomorrow.

Bale Wins More On UEFA’s Big Stage:

Gareth Bale has already won two Champions League trophies at Real Madrid. Bale is only 26 and is just about to hit his prime on a Galacticos team that will only continue to spend and remain competitive in the years to come.

Looking back, Gareth Bale’s first year at Real Madrid was a resounding success. He scored 22 goals and provided 19 assists in 44 matches in 2013/14, won the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. He lived up to his billing as the most expensive footballer on the planet, but it didn’t always look like he would.
