  1. The actual end of the season!published at 21:59 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    Netherlands 3-2 Wales

    That's actually it from us, I can't believe it, but this never-ending football season has finally concluded.

    A campaign as gruelling as any we have seen, has finally finished with five fixtures in a fortnight for Wales.

    The bad news? They've lost three of them.

    The good news? They won the only one that really mattered, the history-making World Cup qualifying victory over Ukraine.

    Wales' fans can now look forward to next season knowing that Wales will be heading to a first World Cup in 64 years, while we can focus on transfer speculation for a couple of weeks and recharge those batteries before we all go again in early August (or late July in the EFL - blimey).

    Thanks for following along with us, tonight and throughout the 2021-22 campaign, have a lovely summer and fear not, the football will be back before you know it.

  2. Let's address this problem before the World Cup - Balepublished at 21:56 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    FT: Netherlands 3-2 Wales

    Wales captain Gareth Bale tells S4C's Sgorio: "It's hard to take but I'd rather this happen now and we address it than it happen at the World Cup.

    "We have to use these Nations League games to improve and get better.

    "Of course we all know what happened but how can we stop that happening again? We need to address that and make sure it doesn't happen in the World Cup.

    "I was saying in the changing room, we're in League A playing against big teams, of course we are disappointed we conceded late, but we're competing with these big teams in every game now and it's just the finer details we need to iron out.

    "If we can do that it will put us in a good place for the World Cup.

    "Our fans kept us going and we really appreciate their support."

  3. 'We're gutted to lose' - Wales' Johnsonpublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    FT: Netherlands 3-2 Wales

    Wales forward Brennan Johnson: "Both games against these we've struggled in the dying seconds.

    "We did really well to get back into the game but we're gutted to lose.

    "We don't come to these places just to take part. It's really gutting at the end.

    "I wanted to carry on my goalscoring form from the season and I think I did that.

    "In the second half we played really well and went neck-to-neck with them.

    "I am proud to score, I am happy with that.

    "We've had four tough games this month and have shown our quality at times.

    "Overall, I think it's been a really good camp for us."

    Tired body, tired minds comes into it, that's where mistakes happen and players switch off.

    We've got one point from four games, we could easily have three or four points.

    I'm still filled with positive vibes going into the two games into September and the World Cup.

    That's it!

    Wales have been seconds away from drawing with the Netherlands twice in days, but once again a goal right at the end has denied them.

    Late drama, to say the least.

    What a crazy finish.
