Although Wales and England belong to the same Commonwealth, but the record in international competitions is not the same, if England, a pseudo-strong team, can still have a little relationship with the strong team, then Welsh football can only be with the belly of the fish.

The 1958 World Cup was the first and only time that Welsh football had qualified for the final stage of the World Cup, and it was also the first time that four British teams had qualified for the final week together.

Wales finished second in the qualifying round, but the Asian and African qualifiers against Israel were abstained for political reasons, allowing Israel to qualify for the final week without playing.

However, FIFA ruled that no team could qualify for the final week without a match, so it arranged for Israel to be the runners-up of one of the teams in the European qualifying tournament and play a two-legged play-off between home and away to determine the qualification for the final week, and Wales were lucky to be drawn to represent the European zone, and the Welsh team won 2-0 over the two legs of the home and away games to obtain the final ticket to the World Cup finals in Sweden.

In the group stage of the World Cup, Wales was included in the host Sweden, Hungary and Mexico Group C matches, and finally the Welsh team won three games and three draws, beating Hungary and Mexico, and the host Sweden joined hands to qualify, and in the quarter-finals, the Welsh team faced the eventual champion Brazil, and was scored by the young Pele with the only goal, and lost 0:1.

Wales had the best result in the European Football Championship in 1976, ranked in Group 2 in the group qualifying round, with a score of 5 wins and 1 loss over Hungary and Austria to qualify, and the quarter-finals against Yugoslavia, they conceded a goal in the first minute of the away game, and finally lost 0:2, and returned to their home stadium, where a player was sent off and played one less, and Yugoslavia drew 1:1 and went out 1:3 over two legs.

However, since then, the Welsh team has not qualified for the finals of international competitions, and the best result in recent years was in 2004, when they finished second in the group behind Italy in qualifying, qualified for the play-offs and faced Russia, where they drew 0-0 in the first round and lost 1-0 at home in the second leg, losing 1-0 and missing the great chance to qualify for the finals.

Although the record of Welsh football in international football is very average, this small country in the Commonwealth has produced many stars who are well-known in international football, the most famous of which is the former Liverpool star, Ian Brown. Rush, who began his professional career at Chester City and reached the pinnacle of his career when he moved to Liverpool in 1980.

Rush helped Liverpool win both the League and League Cup in 1983 and was voted European Young Player of the Year. In the 1986 FA Cup final, Rush scored twice to help Liverpool beat city rivals Everton 3-1 to win the title, and the league title was won again.

In the 1989 FA Cup final, Liverpool met Everton again, and Rush scored two more goals to help Liverpool win 3-2, and the following season, Rush tasted the league title again at Liverpool.

Rush spent a short season at Leeds United before moving to Newcastle United the following year with Liverpool until 1996, before retiring from 2000.

In terms of national team, Rush has scored 28 goals in 73 games for Wales, which is still the highest record in Wales.

After Rush, the title of leading Welsh football man fell to Ryan Giggs, who arrived in England at the age of seven and joined the Teen youth team to begin a more formal football training.

It was there that Ryan Giggs's footballing talent began to show off on full display, and he quickly became one of the best players in his school.

Since then, Giggs, who has excelled and has the potential to be a "maxima", caught the attention of current United boss Alex Ferguson, and in 1986, shortly after Giggs's 14th birthday, the founder of the United dynasty visited him and persuaded him to join United as a schoolboy.

Since winning his first league title in 1993, Ryan Giggs and Manchester United have forged a glorious time together, and he has always been the brightest and most enduring of the Red Devils' star-studded squad.

The clock is fast forward in 1999, and it was a lucky year for both Manchester United and Ryan Giggs. Manchester United have won the Super League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and Toyota Cup in this harvest season, while Ryan Giggs has excelled in a variety of competitions.

In that year's FA Cup semi-final and Arsenal replay, the two sides were inseparable, and the winner could not be separated until the last minute of extra time.

At this time, Arsenal defender Vieira made a mistake in passing, Giggs got the ball on the left side of the midfield, rushed forward at high speed, first shook off Vieira who came up to intercept with a feint, and then dribbled past Grimandi, Dixon and Adams with a windy speed and dazzling breakthrough, and finally broke Seaman's ten fingers with a powerful shot, thus bringing Manchester United to the final, such a long-distance run, only in the 1986 World Cup, Maradona's classic goal against England, It is comparable to Ronaldo's brilliant goal in Barcelona in 1996.

In fact, at a very young age, Ryan Giggs played for England under the age of 15 and had the opportunity to play at international tournaments with England, but Giggs chose to play for his native Wales, even though he knew it would take him away from the international scene. Perhaps at that moment, Giggs understood Rush, and it was at that moment that the fans admired Giggs more.

In 1994, Wales were just a penalty away from the World Cup, and after ending that shock in a tragic beauty, Ryan Giggs's Welsh side went from strength to bottom, and they were further away from the World Cup finals.

Ryan Giggs was asked if he would join the England squad if he had the opportunity to re-select?

Giggs replied in the affirmative: "No!" Because I love Wales, where I was born and raised, and my parents wanted me to fight for my country, and I have never regretted it, even for a minute! ”

Now Ryan Giggs has retired from the Welsh national team to focus on playing for Manchester United, but Welsh fans are not short of new idols, Degan's team-mate at Tottenham, Gareth. Bell took the flag from Giggs.

As early as the age of 16, Bale was regarded as the greatest talent in the history of Welsh football and was always compared to left-sided winger Ryan Giggs.

Yes, he's Bell.

Bale showed extraordinary talent in football from an early age, and was sent to his satellite club by Southampton Club to train at the age of 9, and Bale's physique, endurance and technical level have gradually improved significantly.

In the 2005/2006 Championship season, Bale made his first appearance for Southampton against Millwall at the age of 16 years and 275 days.

In the 2006/2007 season, after Southampton's failure to win the championship, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United, Arsenal and many other giants, and paid 12 million pounds to add the superstar.

After a first season of adaptation, Bale was a testament to the Premier League in 2007/2008, notably in the 156th north London derby against Arsenal, where he delighted Tottenham fans with a free-kick that flew in a perfect arc into the near corner.

In recent seasons, Bale's performance at Tottenham has become more and more excellent, and has also attracted the attention of countless big clubs, and last summer, Real Madrid even offered a transfer fee of 70 million euros to invite Bale to join.

In terms of national team, Bale became the youngest international in Wales' history when he came off the bench against Trinidad and Tobago in June 2006.

It's just that like his predecessors Rush and Ryan Giggs, Bale can never get around the reality that the overall strength of the national team is weak.

In the 2014 Brazil World Cup European qualifiers, the Welsh team faced Serbia away in the first round, the strength of the two teams was obviously better, but in the end, with the goals of Bale and Ramsey, the Welsh team won a difficult victory 2:1 away, and for a while, Bale seemed to see new hope.

In the second round, even against a Belgian team led by club teammate Degan who had just won 3-1 against England, Bale still looked confident.

'Rod is a fantastic player, he's the best striker in the world, that's something that can never be seen clearly as his opponent, only by playing next to him can we experience it more deeply, but for the game we won't give up, we will fight for the glory of Wales and try to win this game at home!'

Although Welsh football is not in the stream, the national team has also concentrated a large number of outstanding players, among which Bale is naturally the banner figure, and the others are Ramsey, Williams, Huntez and others are also good players in the Premier League.

Although there is a lot of difference between the two teams in the international rankings, when it comes to the game, it is really impossible to say who will lose and who will win.

At the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the World Preliminary Tournament is about to start, and in the players' tunnel, Deegan is greeting Bale, who is the captain of the field in Wales.

Although not as familiar as Héctor, Defoe and Huddlestone, Deegan and Bale had a very good relationship when they were at the club, when Deegan came to London with Fiorentina to play against Arsenal, he prepared for the game at Tottenham's training base, and also coached Bale's free-kicks at that time.

"I'm sorry, Gareth! We are going to leave today with victory! ”

Bell snorted, "Don't be delusional, Rod! You can't win, it's Welsh territory! ”

Deegan laughed, "Of course I do, but it's our fun to keep conquering, so be careful today!" ”

For the game, Deegan is very confident, although Wales has gathered a group of young talents, but when it comes to overall strength, Deegan is very confident in Belgium, and victory should not be a problem.

Step onto the field and the game officially begins.

England's fans were fanatical, Wales fans were even more fanatical, and the cheering of the mountains and tsunamis allowed Wales to grasp the initiative from the beginning of the game, Bale's flank raid, Ramsey's long-range shot, and several times tested Courtois's nerves.

However, after withstanding the Welshman's three-pronged axe, Belgium still opened the scoring and it was Dembele who scored the goal, and after moving to Tottenham this season, Dembele has been limited to a substitute role, but in the national team, he is the obvious choice in the midfield position.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Digan swung his header back on the line of the penalty area, and Dembele followed up with a timely volley, and the ball grazed the turf and flew directly into the bottom left corner of the goal.

1：0！

After scoring the first goal, Belgium got bigger and easier on the pitch, while Wales attacked aggressively by giving an equaliser, causing a gap in the backline.

Just before half-time, Belgium seized another chance, Digan burst into the box and crossed the middle, Lukaku easily pushed the ball into the empty net unguarded.

2：0！

Two goals in a row stunned the Welshman, and although they made immediate adjustments in the second half, the overall situation of the game was irreversible.

In the second half, Digan scored two goals in just ten minutes to seal the win.

It was only in the 82nd minute that Bale scored a face-saving goal from a free-kick.

4：1！

Belgium have won two in a row to finish first in Group A.

After the match with Wales, Degan also shouted the slogan of defending the World Cup title for the first time in an interview: "We have only one goal, which is to defend the World Cup championship and win four consecutive world-class championships. ”

After the match against Wales, the Belgian national team was disbanded on the spot, and the players went to their respective clubs, and then Tottenham Hotspur had to face another strong opponent in the Premier League, also in London, Chelsea!
