Wales, Cardiff – Na here we dey, as Wales don suffer 4-2 defeat for their match against Belgium. E no be small wahala wey dey affect their World Cup qualification dream. But no worry, my people, Geraint Hughes from Sky Sports get some gist to make you smile amid di sad news.
So wetin we go do now? Things don dey tough for Wales, but hope still dey shine small-small. Belgium don hold all di cards now, and dem sabi say di qualification route for November don turn like maze. Na wetin happen? Simple, Belgium just waka past dem for Cardiff.
But no be so e go end! As November fixtures dey look like wetin fit give Wales some chance to land for di World Cup wey dey come next year. For Wales to get beta chance, dem gatz win two games wey dey come against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia. We dey cross our fingers say di plan go click!
Wales performance under Craig Bellamy don show say consistency fit work. E don bring dem some glory for Nations League campaign. Even though dem no dey 100% sure, dis campaign fit still help dem find some route for playoffs if dem finish third place.
But make e clear, for dat to happen, we gatz rely on di big boys of Europe. We dey talk about England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and France; maybe two of dem fit finish top or second for their groups. No be wahala, na normal matter!
Now, make we reason am well, if Belgium win their next two matches, Wales get only one road to glory—dem gatz win their last two games. E go be like movie! First one na against the 204th best team for di world (Liechtenstein), and di second one na back home against North Macedonia. If dem fit win both, dem go secure second place for di group! Na so we dey talk am.
No go forget say Wales don suffer for VAR decision wey cause dem some wahala during di Belgium match. Di first penalty wey Belgium get no fit stop gbedu from reaching all di bars and pubs for Cardiff. VAR really cause kasala, but wetin you go do?
Kevin De Bruyne show say e no dey play when e take those penalties. E take im time, watch di goalkeeper, and just put di ball where e know say nobody fit catch. E no come be like say Wales no try. Dem get chances, but some no dey count—na 50/50 chance matter!
Bellamy don talk plenty about di need for small teams like Wales to face di big boys of di world. E sure say even though defeat dey pain, sometimes, na so dem go learn di lesson wey go fit push dem for di future.
The other side wey dey my mind be dis twist wey Bellamy talk about. Wetin if Kazakhstan come show dem pepper? Nigeria dey haba, we no fit trust dem! A seven-hour flight for Belgium no go sweet for dem, sef with di cold weather!
For now, let’s no overly conclude about automatic qualification, abeg. Belgium still get to face Liechtenstein last. Wetin dem go fit do now? E go hard for dem, abi?
