Belgium 4-3 Wales: The Verdict

Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes reflect on a wild night in Brussels that led to Craig Bellamy's first defeat as Wales coach. Despite battling back from 3-0 down with goals from Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas and Brennan Johnson, Wales ultimately left the Belgian capital empty handed. Was it a missed opportunity to take points off the group favourites, or was Bellamy right to keep pushing for a win? And with no end in sight to Cardiff City's managerial hunt, how much of an impact will the continuing uncertainty have on their pre-seasons plans?

Craig Bellamy interview: Losing sleep but not 'weighed down'

"How can that be heavy when you have such pride and desire in the game you love." If Craig Bellamy was feeling any pressure before the two World Cup qualifiers, he wasn't showing it. In conversation with Carl Roberts, he admitted to having a "restless night" before Friday's home game with group minnows Liechtenstein, but wasn't "weighed down" by the task ahead. And the excitement would only build, he said, as attention would then switch to the far tougher trip to face group favourites Belgium on Monday.

Kpakio earns surprise Wales call up

Cardiff City's 18-year-old right-back Ronan Kpakio was the surprise name in Wales' squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Belgium at the beginning of next week. Manager Craig Bellamy didn't hold back in his praise for Kpakio, who has only six senior appearances to his name, during the media conference in Cardiff to announce the squad. Carl and Daf were in attendance at St Fagans National Museum of History as Bellamy enthused about the qualify of other youngsters also coming through the ranks, and welcomed the return of the influential pair of Ethan Ampadu and Harry Wilson.

Valleys Heartbreak

Hi folks, congrats on the pod, long time listener, love what you guys do. I am a little heartbroken that you have yet to make any reference to Merthyr Town's amazing title winning season?! What's up with that?
Where’s Ellis ?

Love the pod , but miss Ellis ?
Stop talking about Wickham!

Please, please stop talking about Wickham. This is a podcast about Welsh football. I really don’t want to hear about an English side in division one. All the passion has gone out of this pod since Elis left, although I still love Iwan’s contribution. It’s dry and dull now. Did enjoy the first half with Mickey Thomas though. Can there be a change of personnel over the summer please?
Absolutely gone off a cliff.

Used to be one of my favourite podcasts, absolutely gone off a cliff in the last 12 months. Don’t mind the Jonny Owen episodes but without Elis it’s just not the same. Seem to have abandoned the format in favour of bringing on guests who are of little to no interest. Disappointing.
