Wales endured a painful defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a World Cup play-off semi-final, losing on penalties, and have not won a match so far in 2026. The team will face Portugal, Norway, and Denmark in Nations League A, with the final two matches taking place at home in October and November. Former Liverpool striker Ian Rush believes Wales must learn from their loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as they have not won a match in their last four outings. Rush praises Bellamy's talent and expresses optimism for the team's future, despite the difficult task ahead.",
