As much as Craig Bellamy wanted to oversee a first Wales win at Wembley since 1977, his primary focus has undoubtedly been Monday’s World Cup qualifier at home to Belgium.<\/p>\n

Bellamy chose England, and Canada last month, as friendly opponents because he wanted to prepare his players for the kind of challenges they will face in high-stakes fixtures.<\/p>\n

“That’s why these games are so beneficial,” he said.<\/p>\n

Wales will have a better idea of where they stand in their World Cup qualifying group once Belgium have played North Macedonia in Ghent on Friday night.<\/p>\n

North Macedonia are top on 11 points, one point ahead of Wales and Belgium, who are above Bellamy’s men on goal difference and have a game in hand on both their rivals.<\/p>\n

If Wales are to qualify automatically by winning the group, they need to win all three of their remaining matches and hope Belgium drop points more than once.<\/p>\n

Wales’ squad will be watching Friday’s game in their team room after dinner at their training base on the outskirts of Cardiff. <\/p>\n

When Monday night comes around, Wales will be prepared \u2013 if a little bruised by their trip to Wembley.<\/p>\n

“It’s not exactly [as] planned [the result against England] but Monday’s a different game,” said Bellamy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales turn their attention to Belgiumpublished at 10:06 BST 10:06 BST England 3-0 Wales Dafydd PritchardBBC Sport Wales…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-202677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
