Bale Never Goes Stale For Wales
The £85m hope of a nation is so far doing a wonderful job of carrying his side to Euro 2016 qualification.
We all know that’s if often best to avoid the hype when it comes to football wagers but Gareth Bale is one man who lives up to it, at least in national colours.
The world’s most expensive footballer is expected to start as a lone striker for Wales in tonight’s crucial Group B showdown with Belgium and it’s a role he can thrive in.
The Real Madrid star has already found the net four times in qualifying but even that doesn’t tell the whole story. He has had 26 attempts on goal in five outings and is quite simply always a major threat. Tellingly, the 25-year-old even had five efforts in the reverse fixture in Brussels.
Belgium are likely to field some inexperience across their back line on Friday night and Gareth Bale is primed to take advantage of any hesitancy.
