The selector of the Wales football team, Rob Page, led his team to a draw against the United States of America at the start of the World Cup, the result was 1:1.
Wales returned to the World Cup after 64 years, and they managed to, despite a disastrous first half, in which, in addition to bad play, they also had a score deficit of 1:0.
“It is important not to lose in the first round at the opening of the World Cup. Congratulations to the boys who fought until the last second to score the first point in the group,’ said Rob Page.
“It was similar to the European Championship two years ago when we trailed at halftime against Switzerland. We showed character and determination, got back into the game, and won a well-deserved point,’ said the Wales coach.
Rob Page also reflected on the game of the legendary Gareth Bale, who traditionally provides the best games in the national team jersey, and last night he also brought a point to his country with his goal from the penalty spot.
“Bale has never let us down. We’re only talking about him again, and rightfully so. During the penalty, he used his experience, the goalkeeper was on that ball, but the shot was too strong and precise,’ concluded Page.
In the second round, Wales will compete with the Iranian national team, which experienced a debacle yesterday, England defeated them by as much as 6:2.
