Wales vs England Match Highlights
England’s neighboring country is Wales. Despite not having a rich football history like its neighbors, the team secured its ticket to the main stage of the World Cup by relying on Gareth Bale. However, they could not perform as expected in the main phase. But the possibilities are not over yet. The team will depend on mega star Gareth Bale in the do or die match.
On the other hand, the former world champion England will play very independently. Key star Hurricanes have been battling injuries and form.
