In just a few hours, either Wales or Belgium will be celebrating a semifinal birth at Euro 2016 in France. And while winning is clearly everything to the supporters of these two soccer teams, enjoying the moments before and during the quarterfinal matchup is just as important.

If you don't believe me, just check out the video above, which shows fans of the Welsh and Belgian national soccer teams partying it up in Lille, France like there's literally no tomorrow.

I mean, just look at those dudes. Sure, they want Gareth Bale and Wales to win, but don't tell me they won't have enjoyed their time in France regardless of the outcome of the match.

As you can see, Belgium fans turned out in full force, too. Just look at the crowds in Lille before kickoff.

In the spirit of friendly competition, it looks like Belgium and Wales fans mingled and drank together, too.

Reports suggested some Wales fans might be late for the game because of the tremendous amount of traffic getting to the stadium in Lille. Judging by the scenes above, it looks like that's more than likely.

No matter how long it took these fans -- those lucky enough to have tickets, that is -- to get to Stadium Lille-Métropole, it's sure to be worth it once they find their seats.
