Gareth Bale walked into the Qatar World Cup 2022 knowing he was one of the biggest unknowns.
The Welsh icon made his move to the MLS earlier in the year and it was met with widespread criticism.
Was he not being too complacent as the MLS was surely not going to put him under the pressure needed to be ready for the world cup?
If Bale wanted he could have played in the Premier League but he opted for a less challenging environment, he has liked very quiet in this world cup.
They managed to get a draw against the US in a match where the US was on course to win before bale equalized from the penalty spot.
They have now lost 2-0 to Iran in a match that was pivotal as they need a win against England to progress to the next round.
Iran was coming off a 6-2 loss to England and they looked cohesive and dangerous, danger man azmoun showed why they were desperate to get him on the pitch.
He was constantly a menace and troubled the Welsh defense hitting the post and testing the keeper.
For Wales, it’s a must-win against England, but if they could barely hold on against Iran, they’ll have to put in the performance of a lifetime to stun the ferocious Lions.
