Rob Page wants to continue as Wales manager and expects the Football Association of Wales to keep him in post. Despite failing to make this summer’s Euro 2024 finals in Germany after losing Tuesday night’s play-off final against Poland in heartbreaking fashion on penalties, the national team boss is determined to stay on.

Wales manager Rob Page reflected on a “cruel” defeat after his side’s hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 ended in a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out loss to Poland. Dan James missed the decisive spot-kick as Wales were beaten 5-4 on penalties after a goalless draw at the Cardiff City Stadium. Page told S4C: “It is a cruel game and that is what I have said to the players. One kick away from qualifying and it hurts.

Poland manager Michal Probierz insists his team will have sufficient mental strength to end Wales’ Euro dream in Cardiff on Tuesday night. The Poles finished third in their qualifying group behind Albania and the Czech Republic but demolished Estonia 5-1 in their play-off semi-final to set up the Cardiff showdown.

Rob Page has admitted the World Cup in Qatar was an eye-opener that convinced him Wales needed younger, more athletic players if they were to make the Euro 2024 finals. That realisation could pay significant reward on Tuesday night when Wales host Poland in a play-off final at Cardiff City Stadium, with a place in Germany this summer at stake.

Wales and Poland fans have been warned not to bring pyrotechnic devices to Tuesday’s Euro 2024 play-off final at Cardiff City Stadium. Seven Poland fans were arrested following a Nations League game between the two countries in Cardiff 18 months ago, including four for possession of pyrotechnics.

Kingmaker Osian Roberts – the coach who has guided the careers of Mikel Arteta, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira – is finally wearing the crown himself in Italy and loving every minute. Roberts is currently head coach at Italian club Como and has taken them to fourth place in Serie B, poised for a promotion push over the next few weeks that could see him facing giants like Juventus, Inter and AC Milan next season.

Connor Roberts insists he is bristling for a fight against Robert Lewandowski and Poland on Tuesday night. Roberts has embarked on long unbeaten Championship runs at Burnley and Leeds over the last two seasons after putting his razor away and growing a moustache.

Harry Wilson intends to join the stage alongside Europe’s best goalscorers this summer just two years after giving up on another dream. The Wales striker pinpoints his decision to leave Liverpool as the first step towards filling the huge boots of Gareth Bale for his country. Wilson will be the man Wales look to for match-winning inspiration on Tuesday night when they face Robert Lewandowski’s Poland for a place at the Euro 2024 finals this summer.

Ethan Ampadu reckons Wales are now battle-hardened enough to chop down the Poles next week – and take their place at the Euro 2024 finals this summer. The Wales midfielder played another key role for his team on Thursday night as they flattened Finland 4-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium to set up a play-off final showdown against Poland on Tuesday.

Rob Page has pinpointed Dan James as a symbol of why Wales will go into Tuesday night’s Euro 2024 play-off final against Poland with huge confidence. Wales have not beaten the Poles for over 50 years, but are just one more home victory from making their fourth major tournament finals out of the last five.

Robert Pages is ready to unleash his Welsh speedsters on Poland as he looks to book qualification for this summer’s European Championships.

Osian Roberts is backing Wales to continue on the journey he started with Chris Coleman in 2016 by moving a step closer to another Euros finals qualification tonight (Thurs) Roberts was assistant manager to Chris Coleman when Wales broke new ground eight years ago by reaching the tournament finals in France – their first tournament appearance for 58 years.

Rob Page insists Wales need their A-game to eliminate Finland and make the Euro 2024 play-off final. Wales start as clear favourites in Cardiff on Thursday to beat opponents ranked 60th in the world – 31 places below them – and progress to a home play-off final against Estonia or Poland.

Joe Rodon believes Wales can count on their tournament experience against Finland to progress in the Euro 2024 play-offs. Wales are aiming to qualify for a third successive European Championship and a fourth major tournament in five over the next week.

Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead are the Tractor Boys who can plough Wales to the Euro 2024 play-off final on Thursday night. That’s the prediction of Wales manager Rob Page as he prepares his team to face Finland in the crunch semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium.

Ethan Ampadu insists he has a lot more to achieve in football as he prepares to become the youngest Welshman to win 50 caps. Ampadu is set to break Chris Gunter’s record at the tender age of 23 in Thursday’s Euro 2024 play-off semi-final against Finland in Cardiff.

Liam Cullen aims to feast against Finland this week after devouring Cardiff City thanks to Swansea’s head chef. The Swans striker revealed he was inspired by Chris Watkins, who cooked up an inspiring pre-match team talk, not long after serving his regular eve-of-game pasta.

Wales manager Rob Page has defended Danny Ward and blamed “politics” for the out-of-favour Leicester City goalkeeper not moving in the January transfer window. Ward, Wales’ number one, has not played for Leicester in over 12 months and finds himself third-choice goalkeeper at the Championship promotion-chasers.

Ethan Ampadu can steer Wales towards the Euro 2024 finals on Thursday night – by underlining why he is their next Celtic warrior leader after Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Ampadu will win his 50th cap at the age of just 23 when Wales host Finland in their crunch play-off semi-final in Cardiff. It’s a landmark achievement which Wales manager Rob Page insists proves Ampadu is likely to be his country’s next long-term captain in succession to Bale and Ramsey.

Normal service was resumed in the South Wales derby as Liam Cullen and Jamal Lowe scored the goals that barely reflected the total dominance of Swansea City over rivals Cardiff in a 2-0 home win. Despite arriving on the back of a four-match winning streak – a run that had prompted optimism around a late promotion surge – Cardiff were second best in every aspect. “We won in a really positive way and I can’t argue with the way we went about it today,” said Swans head coach Luke Williams.
