Wales will leave Qatar with mixed emotions -- pride at reaching their first World Cup in 64 years mingled with a sense of bitter disappointment that they failed to do themselves justice.
Rob Page's team, cheered on by legions of their"Red Wall" fans in the Gulf state, drew their opening match against the USA 1-1 but then fell to a 2-0 defeat by Iran and were outclassed by England on Tuesday, losing 3-0.
"It's important they learn from it. We've had a taste of it, the World Cup and the Euros, and we want to continue to qualify." "We've got to expose the younger players to these environments and hopefully then in future we can continue to qualify."Full-back Connor Roberts does not believe Wales, who beat Ukraine in a play-off to qualify for Qatar, did themselves justice during their three Group B matches.
"The next accomplishment for Wales' men's team will be to try and get out of the group at the World Cup, whenever that will be," he said.
