this is the first time wales have _ be feeling looking this is the first time wales have qualified -feeling looking this is the first time wales have qualified for a i time wales have qualified for a world cup since 1958 and the legion of fans who have travelled have had little to cheer so far. upsetting england would definitely tick that box. wales, regardless of the criticism, do have an outside chance of qualifying. they have to beat england and hope that the usa and iran draw, so it is not an impossibility. going forward, the big problem for robert page is, does he play gareth bale and aaron ramsey. two players that don't have the legs they used to. some players have said they are being carried. can he have them in the squad. hoping for a moment of magic, will he rest one or both of them? a big call for robert page to make. we do know that being a home nation clash, and the two sets of fans gathering, we are in for a cracking game. the english coach of canada — john herdman — has apologised after using a derogatory term, when instructing his players how to approach their game aga
