Wales suffered a major setback in their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 after a humiliating 4-2 defeat at home to Armenia, a country sandwiched between Kyrgyzstan and Belarus in the Fifa rankings, 71 places below Wales.
For Wales, this was frankly a dire performance and an ignominious defeat, one which had shades of those sore losses to Moldova, North Macedonia and Cyprus that supporters thought were consigned to yesteryear. Just as in Nicosia in October 2007, this was a desperate Group D Euro qualifying defeat and it remains to be seen quite how damaging it will be on their chances of reaching a third successive major tournament.
