Welsh children bid excited farewell as national team heads to World Cup

It’s getting close, the two British teams playing in the World Cup were heading for Doha today.

The England squad are used to these occasions but for Wales, 64 years of wilderness on the world stage is finally over.

For a squad that has embraced the Welsh language and culture, preferring to be called Cymru, they were cheered by hundreds of children in a final training session before heading to Qatar.
