World Cup hopes Finnished as Wales crash in Cardiff

Last updated : 31 March 2009 By Wales Reporter
A disappointing afternoon all round with Wales submitting to World Cup failure with barely a whimper.

1 - 0 down with 30 mins to go and instead of bringing on another striker to partner Craig Bellamy boss John Tochack makes a cautious like for like move in midfield. It defied belief. Teams like Wales are going nowhere without taking some risks.

Anyone who still had South Africa reservations on hold can cancel them now.

Next up for Wales. Germany on Wednesday at the Millennium Stadium. A shame becuase if Toshack had shown a more direct and attacking spirit that could have won the match against Findald we would be expecting a night to remember in Cardiff tomorrow. Now though the interest has wained and there will be many that just cannot be bothered going.
