Toshack impatient ahead of Wales’ ‘last chance saloon’ ties

JOHN TOSHACK must wait five months before he discovers whether Wales are “wasting their time” with dreams of qualifying for the World Cup finals.

Wales’ record inspires little confidence, with 12 victories in their last 49 World Cup qualifiers since they beat Spain 3-0 in 1985.

Toshack has achieved four of those wins. But after last night’s 1-0 defeat in Germany, he knows that if they do not take the points from Finland and Germany at home in a five-day spell in March — in their next two qualifiers — then another campaign is over.
