It was 64 years ago when Wales last entered the World Cup stage and since then, this nation have been hungry to enter football’s biggest stage. During their World Cup bid in 1958, the country only played five games. In those five games, they won one game, drew three games, and lost one game.
Wales qualified for the World Cup after they defeated Ukraine in a 1-0 victory. It was Andriy Yarmolenko who scored the goal and gave Wales the ticket to the World Cup. It was a hard-earned victory as the Ukrainians did not gave up. Fortunate for the Wales, aside from Yramolenko, other players also had a stellar performance. Their goalkeeper, Wayne Hennessey had a stunning performance, and managed to defend their goal well.
During their qualifying match against Ukraine, the guy who made the most impact is Neco Williams as fans praised him. He played a relentless football which were appreciated by many. On the other hand, Williams thanked the fans and say that their qualification is a dream come true for them.
During the last campaign of Wales in the World Cup, they entered the quarterfinals but Sweden defeated the. Now, the strategy that may be useful for the Wales for the World Cup is not to score tons, but to defend well. Instead of scoring a lot, it might be better if they will hold their opponents to low scores or best, scoreless.
For this year’s World Cup, many believe that Wales has a better chance to be one of the countries to qualify for the round of 16. However, if they want to qualify, the players must know how they can utilize their strength. Going against USA and England may be difficult for them but they have bunch of players who can go against them. Expect Gareth Bale, Daniel James, and Aaron Ramsey to take charge for this squad.
