Belgium vs Wales: World Cup qualifier – watch listen and follow live text

Craig Bellamy has described his first year in charge of Wales as the best of his life as he prepares for Monday’s crucial World Cup qualifier in Belgium.

Wales are top of Group J with seven points from three games, six points ahead of Belgium, who have two games in hand having only started their campaign on Friday, drawing 1-1 in North Macedonia.

As the group’s top seeds, ranked eighth in the world and boasting a squad full of glittering individual talent, Belgium will start as favourites in Brussels.

But Bellamy, who is unbeaten in his first nine games, has vowed Wales will refuse to sit back and play for a draw, and will instead go all-out for victory.

“Whatever it will be, it rolls on if we get beat, but it’s going to happen. Do I live in fear of it? Not at all. I don’t live that way,” said the former Liverpool and Manchester City forward.

“I’ve had so many setbacks in my life, it’s OK. I’m still here. And I’ve actually just had the best year of my life. This has been the best.

“How did I get that at 45? It’s what I’ve been waiting for but, at the same time, it’s like I don’t know what’s around the corner.

“But I know what I’m going to do – enjoy everything. The good, the bad, whatever it is. Maybe I look too deep into stuff or maybe not. I try not to. But we’re here for a tiny, short time. I’m here today, I’ll be gone tomorrow, so why not enjoy it?”
