Wales Lose 4-3 to Belgium but Retain World Cup Qualification Hope

Wales manager Craig Bellamy remains optimistic about his team's World Cup qualification chances despite a 4-3 loss to Belgium, which ended his 10-game unbeaten streak. The Welsh side staged a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to level the match before a late goal by Kevin De Bruyne sealed Belgium's victory, pushing Wales from the top spot in Group J.
