    ...in case you needed it.

    Wales did something remarkable just 10 weeks ago by reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2016, where they finally succumbed to eventual champions Portugal.

    There were the scalps of Slovakia, Russia, Northern Ireland and Belgium along the way, plus the bragging rights of finishing above England in the group.

    Not bad for a first major tournament since 1958.
