Wales have been waiting a long time to reach a major tournament. But the way the Euro 2016 qualifiers are going so far, they are giving themselves every chance of reaching the final tournament in France.
After three games, they remain unbeaten in a group featuring the likes of Belgium and Bosnia, and picked up their second win of the campaign last night at home to Cyprus.
