CRAIG BELLAMY has revived his feud with Jesse Marsch after Wales were put on the same World Cup path as co-hosts Canada.

Bellamy felt slighted by Marsch and his staff celebrating with touchline high fives before the final whistle sounded on Canada's 1-0 friendly victory in Swansea back in September.

The Wales boss reacted to those premature celebrations by saying after the game: "I hope I see you at the World Cup."

Marsch stoked the fires at the next international break in October by accusing Bellamy of "ridiculousness", claiming his comments were a distraction from the fact Wales had lost to Canada.

The two nations were then paired together in Friday's World Cup draw, should Wales progress through the playoffs in March and would face each other in the Group B opener in Toronto on June 12, 2026.
