Gareth Bale’s smile after his equalising penalty against USA said it all! Tuesday night’s 1-1 Group B drawn fixture between Wales and USA should satisfy the former as it puts them in a promising position to progress to the next stage of the quadrennial showpiece event here.
Bale’s 82nd-minute penalty after a clumsy challenge on him inside the US box, was Wales’ first point earned in a FIFA World Cup match since 1958. But more importantly, after England’s 6-2 hammering of Iran earlier in the day at the Khalifa Stadium, it now puts Wales in pole position to enter the knockout stage as the second team in the group.
