AL RAYYAN, Qatar : Fans were hoping for Wales to turn up at the World Cup in high spirits after an agonising 64-year wait but the team stumbled at the first hurdle as the ageing"Golden Generation" of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey failed to deliver.
Wales' most-capped player was anonymous in attack against England in the first half and was substituted at the break due to a hamstring issue before Wales limped to a 3-0 defeat, finishing bottom of Group B with one point and one goal. While Bale looked like a spent force, Ramsey was no different - floundering in midfield as he gave the ball away more times than any other player against Iran and lost all but one of his eight duels.
Ramsey, who turns 32 next month, and Bale have long carried the national team on their shoulders but they crumbled under the weight of expectation in Qatar.
