Football can change in an instant. Just days ago, Wales suffered a heavy defeat against England at Wembley, but now their World Cup qualifying group situation has shifted dramatically. North Macedonia's unexpected draw with Belgium has opened new opportunities for the Welsh team. They can secure the top spot in Group J and direct qualification if they win their remaining three matches.
Wales' fate now hinges on their performance against Belgium in Cardiff on Monday night, followed by games against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia in November. Coach Craig Bellamy knows nothing is certain in football, but this scenario gives his team a chance to control their destiny.
Belgium, however, is a formidable opponent with a rich history of epic clashes against Wales. Bellamy's squad will need to give their all to overcome Belgian stars like Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne. The loss to England might prove beneficial, offering valuable lessons and insights for improvement as they prepare for Belgium, aiming to instill confidence and energy in their players.
