World Cup: Wales fans gather as they hope for a miracle

Wales fans have begun to gather on the front in Doha and in a fan party at a city hotel, ahead of the Qatar World Cup group decider against England.

Wales must beat England and hope Iran v USA is a draw to go to the next round. If the other game isn’t a draw, Wales need to beat England by four or more.

“We all know what we want,” said Sue Moses, 57, from Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf. “A win would be nice.

“It won’t be 4-0 but we got here, that’s the main thing.”

Her husband Martyn, 57, added: “Form is not on our side and it would be a big ask to beat England even if they play poorly.”

However, Lee Hosking believes this game was always going to be “the main focus” regardless of other results.

The 55-year-old from Swansea said: “We’re not going to win the World Cup. But let’s have a good result against England and we can have an open top bus then.”

Bethan Richards, 50, said after two poor performances, the side will have motivation to do well.

“They didn’t play well against the USA and this is our last big chance,” she said.

“If they don’t play well tonight, they don’t deserve to be in the team. And I think they will as this is their last big chance.”

Helen Furlong, 38, from Gaerwen, Anglesey, said she “just hopes they turn up tonight”.

Gerwyn Jones, 36, added: “I’m always hopeful. My heart is telling me yes but my head is telling me no. But stranger things have happened.”
