Glory To Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
Hennessey was incredibly good for Wales yeaterday - a Courtois-like performance from the CL final. I do feel for the Ukrainians though - their performance merited a better result and the goal they conceded was a cheap deflection.

I have to admit that I did not give Wales much chance in their group - after all, they are among the weakest teams in total rankings that will participate in the World Cup. Sometimes in football luck is all you need and it was on their side yesterday.

Ukraine played better, but they couldn't score a single goal (need to work on converting scoring chances), so this advantage remained conditional. Hennessy was too good, he fought off everything that flew into his goal. It's a shame that Ukraine lost because of a goal scored by itself. Soon Ukraine will have matches in the League of Nations, let's see how they will be set up for these matches.

I thought to the last minute that Ukraine would win this game and if not for their stupid mistake they would have won for sure. But Wales were lucky in this game. I hope that they will do well in the World Cup because they didn't play a very good game in this one although they have much more experienced players than Ukraine.

Thats all football is all about, capitalizing on your opponents mistake, taking your chances, preventing your opponent from getting a chance and ofcourse the ultimate goal, winning. It was a proud moment for the wales team, especially Gareth Bale, who has left the troubles at Madrid behind and spearheaded Wales straight into the world cup. Beautiful event beholds in Qatar

Yes many predict Ukraine is able to equalize the score or even win the match unfortunately our predictions are wrong Wales to end the match with 1-0
We can assume that Ukraine is just unlucky because they play a good game and control the match It's just that it's not useful without a goal
This is a sad ending for supporters of Ukraine because what they expect cannot be achieved, hope for the best for them.

Own goal from Andriy Yarmolenko has been make Wales get last ticket to the world cup however i expect Ukraine can win the match but seems i was wrong that although Ukraine dominated the match but until final whistle the score has not change and congratulations for Wales because they have to wait until 64 years to playing again in this tournament and apparently this could be the first and the last world cup for Wales captain Gareth Bale because after tournament ended he confirm will retired from national team
It was not my expectation that Wales would do so, but they did. Despite their good play in full time, Ukraine did not have the luck they needed. A new chapter in history has begun. A 64-year wait came to an end when Wales defeated Ukraine to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958. I would like to thank Wales! In the interest of football. Bale and the entire Wales team deserve congratulations.

I watched the match yesterday on SONY LIV, and enjoyed every bit of it. Gareth Bale was spectacular and his goal was awesome to watch. In the end, Wales did something that Scotland failed to do. If you look at the stats, you may get an impression that Ukraine dominated the match (68% possession, 22 shots against 10 for Wales, and 9 shots on target against 3). But I never got such a feeling while watching it live. It was more or less an even contest. In the end, the team with better defense won the game.

For Qatar 2022, Wales is placed alongside England, Iran and the United States. Advancing to the knockout stage should not be that hard, if they could win against Iran and the US.

This weekend, Sunday, Wales will face Ukraine for a World Cup spot. Ukraine won vs Scotland previously but Wales is better so I guess the game will be harder.
Bookies are showing almost similar odds, 2.7 Wales / 2.8 Ukraine with BTTS lower than not.. It seems to be very unpredictable and either team could win.

It seems Bookies are considering Ukraine  recent win so they provide almost the same odds for the betting market
I also hesitate to choose who will win but as a gambler i see better options like Both teams to score, Wales are certainly better but Ukraine have been aggressive recently.
So at the end, Wales did it and booked the last ticket to Qatar after winning vs Ukraine. Well literally winning without scoring. This will be their first time qualifying for World Cup since more than a half decade AFAIK.
As bookies mentioned, BTTS odds were lower than not having both sides scoring.
Congratulations to Wales.

Weird that we still had some sort of world cup elimination games during this period, we have nations league and teams playing games there. That is a new thing that tries to replicate the world cup or whatever but in a bit more lengthy process and never really gives fun.

Most teams do not even bring their A teams there neither, we keep on seeing the future stars of those nations, and that is not a bad thing because players that are 18-25 are good for these type of showcase stuff, to provide their talent to the world so that everyone would be watching, better than the domestic league games of course. But, it is still not an amazing one at all, quite boring to watch unless you are a scout.

Congratulations to Wales for managing to qualify for the World Cup after defeating Ukraine by 1-0. It wasn't an easy work for them at all of course. Ukraine were the much better playing side actually and they increased their goal attempts and dominance even more in the second half. Nevertheless it was still not enough for scoring any goal. Wales must be grateful for the own goal Yarmolenko scored. I really wanted to see Ukraine in the World Cup after seeing this performance but it was an unfortunate result.

Wales were lucky that Yarmolenko made a mistake that the man shouldn't have, the latest news that Bale is really determined to take Wales to the world cup is likely to be successful considering the 1 goal lead at the moment gives the team confidence. Ukraine the ball possession statistics better, the match for the second half has started I wonder if there are any surprises.
But I think the opportunity to draw is currently difficult although ukrania can still attacking wales, the odds are quite tempting to bet on draw.
Yarmolenko's mistake was very rough, he cut off the ball in opposition to the goalkeeper, one could say it was without options to beat off such a recochet. In general, the match was equal, but the fact that Wales played at home was a significant plus for the hosts. In general, the result is expected, many players of the Ukrainian national team were without game practice and this definitely played a role.
That's right, being at home was a significant plus to Wales but Ukraine looks great too, it's just that we witnessed that mistake. Wayne Hennessey appeared slick to block the attacks from Ukrainian team, he managed to break several danger chances. The match was really interesting, if Johnson didn't hit goalpost maybe the ball would go on net, Bale he wasn't lucky the ball vomit he was not executed properly.

Wales qualified for the world for the first time in 64yrs is a great achievement for that group of young players,,,with the experience of Gareth Bale,, it was down to an own goal from Andry Yarmolenko with Wales winning by 1:0 ..and will now join England,,Iran and The USA in group B ,, I think after qualifications they have a chance to make it from that group ..the experience of Gareth bale and the pace of Daniel James will come into play,, and most especially it will be a different feeling for a player like Gareth bale appearing in his first world cup in his late 30s,, Legends like Ryan gigs never appeared in a world cup,,so it's an achievement for bale I must say.. considering that he has won anything in club football ,,, Ukraine tried their best but it wasn't good enough to take them to Qatar,,

Wales - Ukraine was great game, unfortunately outcome of it wasn't that I wanted. Yarmolenko mistake which ended with an own goal was huge and it would be difficult to justify it - it's not that case when ball accidentally hits player.
Ukraine had much more moments, but Henessey was like a wall today. Davies also did a lot to not let Ukraine to score.
Congrats to Wales, reach World Cup after so many years is big achievement for them.

I also would have loved for Ukraine to go to the World Cup for what their country is going through but after 64 years finally Wales is going to take part again in a World Cup.In November,it will be the first time that a World Cup will be held at such time maybe because of the extreme hot weather in Qatar where the Cup will take place.It will be interesting to see what will happen but seeing what the European teams are doing in Nations League I am pretty confident the World Cup will not go in Europe this time,they simply are playing extremely bad right now in the Nations League.

Ukraine did so well, I thought maybe the team will bring the good news for the people of Ukraine who have not heard any good news in a while.
Great chance lost though. Congrats to Wales.
Looking fwd to amazing matches. World Cup is circulating the world ... Moral is high.

After the first half, Wales wins with a score of 1-0, but it seems to me that this is far from the end and in the second half there will be more goals scored (and perhaps Ukraine will continue to score, the main thing is not to go into their own net this time  Grin ).
Quotes for the victory of Ukraine look attractive:


Ukraine still has the potential to score as they dominate from all sides with statistics like this it looks like Ukraine will not lose or at least draw

Unfortunately, the full playing advantage of Ukraine was not realized. The statistic speaks for itself:

Shots - 9:24;
Shots on target - 2:9;
Corner kicks - 4:7;
Total assists - 255:577;
Ball possession - 39% : 61%

But today Wales was stronger. The goalkeeper did half the job and the whole team played the game at the maximum of their capabilities. My congratulations to Wales who ended up in a group with two more English-speaking teams  Cheesy

The game is over and Wales won 1-0. Ukraine put up a good fight and they were the better team looking at the overall statistics, but if you don't score any goal you can't complain when you lose, especially in such important knock-out games. Ukraine might have been the stronger team to qualify, but I think Wales will be motivated to play well for their first World Cup qualification in 64 years!
Wales will now join England, USA and Iran in the first round group of the World Cup, congratulations!

It may be safer to bet that Ukraine will not lose in regular time.

There seemed to be no hope for Ukraine to equalize as time was running out, it should have ended in a goalless draw had Yarmolenko not made a mistake.
and Weles were just lucky and the only goal came through a Yarmolenko own goal after mistaking Gareth Bale's free kick.
