TOULOUSE, France -- At the final whistle, the Welsh players formed a huddle underneath their fans. Just as significant, perhaps, was when Chris Coleman's staff, so often unheralded and in the background, embraced and hugged on the near side of the pitch. This was their moment too.
The familiar chant, to the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart," bellowed across the Stade Municipal.
Don't take me home / Please don't take me home
I just don't want to go to work
I wanna stay here / Drink all your beer
Please don't take me home.
