| Wales 1958 |
Squad Explanation
- It was between Dean Saunders, Craig Bellamy and Trevor Ford for the last attacker on the team.
- I also dropped Roy Paul for Mel Charles.
- I only brought one leftback. I have Bale and Williams who could also play there. Rod Thomas would have been my backup leftback.
- I selected Ramsey because the team lacks a playmaker.
Formation: 4-4-2
- I used a classic British 4-4-2 formation. Bale could become the greatest, but Meredith is just too good to be unseated at this point.
- I nearly put John Charles on the defense and started Allchurch upfront.
