Can Wales achieve Euro Dream without Bale and Ramsey??
Wales National Team New Generation Players are on the verge of Facing their Biggest Test Ever , A Euro 2024 Semi final playoff against Finland
Wales are Well known as an Underdog Team , A Term that very well suits them and as helped them achieve more in recent years , More like a David and Goliath Psychology is what Wales are used to where they always end up springing a surprise to their Goliath.
Examples of such feats are Euro 2016 where they eliminated the three lions England national team In the Round of 16 and went on to reach the semi finals where they were eventually eliminated by Portugal
Also Euro 2020 which was not as Glorious as their Euro 2016 Run but was also something to write home about
Wales are a small nation with a much smaller pool of available playing talent than some nations, so it's inevitable one would wish to prove doubters wrong and bring down a bigger, more powerful foe.
However, Finland - and I mean no disrespect to the Finns - are a team Wales should beat. Wales' players are man-for-man better, but are they a better team on the night? We'll soon see.
Finland is a very physical side which pose a threat from set pieces and also very Defensively Compact will aim to narrow down Wales attacking threats
The likes of Ethan Ampadu, Harry Wilson and Jordan James the new stars in this New generation of welsh Talents will hope to stand out and cause major havoc to the finnish Team .
The transition of Wales from when they had Ramsey and Bale pulling the strings to a new generation is well under way and is bearing fruit. The younger generation have beaten Croatia and outplayed Turkey -Ramsey was injured, Bale retired.
Consistency and a show of Tiredness towards the full 90 minutes is where Wales lacked last season
If Wales do make it to Euro 2024 it will be a greater achievement than their previous ones considering the fact if they defeat Finland they get to face Germany Next .
