YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH, CRAIG!

WALES v BELGIUM

- BY TOM COLEMAN

CRAIG BELLAMY insists Thursday's defeat to England has only made him more excited about the future of Welsh football.

The Wales boss admitted, “I got my a**e kicked”, in the wake of the 3-0 defeat to the Three Lions at Wembley (which Harry Kane and Jordan Pickford are seen celebrating, below). But he believes the experience will benefit his side in the long run.

That message was reiterated on the eve of their massive World Cup qualifier against Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight, with Bellamy insisting picking the bones out of the Wembley game has merely made him more determined to move Wales forward and bring them closer to the top table of international football.
