Of course it was a cruel way to lose, so deep into added time, and Wales will need a miracle to get out of the group now.
Hand on heart, I can’t see them beating England on Tuesday. It would be incredible if they recovered from such a shattering defeat (right, Chris Mepham, Joe Rodon and Gareth Bale at the final whistle).
But perhaps it underlines how well Wales did to qualify in the first place.
And on the day Gareth Bale – who was ineffective against Iran – won a record 110th cap for his country, perhaps it’s a good time to be thankful for the previous 109 appearances dotted with 41 goals and multiple match-winning contributions.
Bale has copped some flak on Twitter for his performance, but it doesn’t dim the aura of his earlier world-class displays in a Wales shirt.
