Czech Republic 2 - 1 Wales

They were so close. After getting an equalizing goal five minutes before the end after Jiranek put into his own net from an Earnshaw cross. However, the Czech's blushes were spared as the debutante Lafata got his second of the evening with a minute to go.

The disappointment was palpable as Wales came home with no points but they can take away the knowledge that they are a threat to the biggest nations in the footballing world.

Wales need to work harder on their finishing given the two excellent chances that Craig Bellamy had. But what are your views of the match? Post them in the forum.
