Bale’s final huge likelihood …
Matt Dony emails: “Best case scenario – Wales finally qualify for their second World Cup, which is a dream for so many of us. But it’s the most controversial World Cup in history. And everyone will hate us. Should that happen, the actual World Cup campaign will be amazing, whatever happens. Finally seeing these players on that stage will make my heart burst. But it will have a bittersweet element. Wales losing today would be a heartbreak. There’s no two ways about it. But if I had to pick any team to potentially lose to, it’d be these. Just hoping for a decent game, no controversy, no reliance on luck. Just the better team to win. Can’t argue with that, whichever way it goes.”
