Let's hope we qualify!
 OPINION
How wrong could we be 'Still in with a chance? To be honest I don't think so!" was the headline we wrote. Let's start by echoing Sparky and give credit to the boys, they performed really well against Belarus far better than in any previous matches. In the second half they wanted know, and got their foot on the ball and started to play a bit, they must have a had game plan laid out by the manager and for a change they stuck to it.

Lets not kid ourselves, we are still just not at a good enough level to compete against the top sides, so therefore we must perform at our top level everytime we play quality opposition, and then employ the relevant tactics against them.

The tactics employed by Wales against Belarus were perfect, we got at them and stopped them playing, restricting them to long range efforts (cannot do that to often as everytime we seem to play against the Eastern European's they score great goals i.e. Georgia, Moldova, Romania etc need I go on).

So let's look forward to Switzerland in October, and just hope we are in with a shout of the Euro 2000 play-offs.

Cymru am byth.

Wales "No more's"

1. No more 5-3-2 formation's.
2. No more conceding a goal within the first 20 mins.
3. No more Ryan Giggs pulling out of friendly matches. (must play every game when fit!).
4. No more 80+ Fifa world ranking.
