Friendly: DENMARK 0 WALES 1



If there were World Cups for friendlies, Wales would qualify for the finals everytime and probably go a long way too. In the latest tonight, The Red Dragon Kids produced an excellent and deserved 1-0 vistory over Denmark in Brondby featuring a side of 8 Under 21 players and Aaaron Ramsey showing all his class on his full debut at this level.

The first half was goalless but I'm not sure anyone can work out how. Wales missed four golden chances, skipper Craig Bellamy failing to convert 2 one on one sitters while the Danes saw Myhill produce a superb stop and miss one glorious opening of their own. The half belonged to Wales however and they really should have been winning in an open and entertaining battle.

All the flowing promising football in that first half evaporated midst a flurry of substitutions and tactical changes after the interval but just when you thought it would be goalless, up popped BELLAMY to beat Stoke City's Sorenson with a scuffed edge of box shot that found the corner of goal. Wales had few problems holding on as the Danes, in a spare crowd including 150 Welshies, were roundly booed by their support.

Well done Tosh and the Boys - now please start getting these results ion the games that really matter.
