After suffering a 0-3 defeat against the English, Wales were out of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Every Welsh fan was disappointed. However, one cannot forget the thing that Wales qualifying for FIFA World Cup was an achievement in itself. The Welsh side last appeared in the 1958 FIFA World Cup. Post then they failed to qualify for the biggest tournament of the world.
Such was the condition of Welsh football that Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs often rested during the international break. However, one man was determined to make a mark in the history of Welsh Football and that was Gareth Bale.
We all know about the achievements of Gareth Bale on club level. We all know about his caliber. But the question was will he take Wales to ultimate glory. And the answer to this question is Yes.
Wales qualified for 2016 Euros and 2020 Euros. In 2016, Wales reached up to the semi-final stage before being knocked out by the eventual champions Portugal. Their victory against Belgium is still fresh in the memories of football fans.
In 2022, after 64 years of wait and struggle, Wales qualified for the FIFA World Cup. In their opening game against the USA, they played wonderfully. Though the match ended in a draw, but their performance was promising. However, defeat against Iran and England ended their hopes of going forward into the World Cup.
Yes. The Welsh Fan are sad and so is the Welsh team. But cheer up Boys you have made a nation proud.
