CRAIG Bellamy has taken issue with Jesse Marsch for his premature victory celebrations during their friendly match against Swansea on Tuesday night, expressing a desire for a rematch at the World Cup next year.

- PHIL BLANCHE

A powerful 25-yard free-kick from Derek Cornelius just four minutes before halftime secured a 1-0 win for Canada, marking only the second defeat in Bellamy's 12-game tenure and his first on home soil.

However, Bellamy was displeased with the conduct of former Leeds United boss Marsch during stoppage time, as Wales were still attempting to claw back a draw against the co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup.

"I still wanted to win, trust me," Bellamy stated after selecting a team with eight changes from the squad that achieved a 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory in Kazakhstan last Thursday.

"Honestly, I'm actually not happy because I really hate losing more than I like winning.
