Zidane Says It Will Be ‘Tragedy’ If Gareth Bale Never Plays at Major Tournament

Gareth Bale Scores Brilliant Free-Kick for Wales Against Andorra

Andorra’s Artificial 3G Pitch Evokes Criticism During Wales Euro Qualifier

Wales’ Euro 2016 qualifier against Wales is being played at the 3,300-capacity Camp d’Esports del M.I. Consell General. The venue has evoked controversy because of its artificial 3G pitch.

Gareth Bale Heads Equaliser for Wales Against Andorra

Wales are by no means a European behemoth, but they wouldn’t have expected to go a goal down to Andorra. That’s exactly what happened after six minutes, but megastar forward Gareth Bale saved Welsh blushes with an equaliser in the 22nd minute.
