If qualifying for Euro 2016 in Tyrunn Walker Authentic Jersey front of 750 hardy Welsh fans in torrential Bosnian rain was an intimate ordination ceremony for a select few, Wales' campaign finale at home to Andorra was the moment the doors were thrown open for the ultimate party. This was a celebration 57 years in the making, the chance for 33,000 success-deprived supporters to welcome home their heroes at a cacophonous Cardiff City Stadium. Without an appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, Wales had ended the barren spell three days earlier, losing 2-0 to Bosnia-Herzegovina but qualifying for Euro 2016 thanks to Cyprus' 2-1 win in Israel. Now they had the opportunity to celebrate in front of a sell-out home crowd, and they did so with wild abandon. Whether they were sliding along the turf http://www.lionsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Tyrunn-Walker-Jersey towards their jubilant fans or joining Joe Ledley to recreate the dance moves in Bosnia which made the Crystal Palace midfielder a social media sensation, the players were enjoying themselves as much as the supporters. And once the champagne had dried and the confetti cleared from the pitch, manager Chris Coleman and his players could reflect on the magnitude of their achievement and look forward to next year's tournament in France. As well as securing the elusive place at a major tournament, Wales' recent success has also seen them rise to an all-time Fifa world ranking high of eighth. That will count for little in France, however, because seedings for the competition are based on Uefa's coefficient ratings, which are decided by criteria including domestic leagues and performances at previous major tournaments. As a result, Wales will be among the bottom group of fourth seeds when the Euro 2016 draw is made on 12 December, which could see them in a difficult group. "I'd rather avoid the home nations if I'm being honest," says Coleman. "It probably would dominate everything if we did. It's like a derby game, we'd be travelling to France to play a derby. "We've had experience against all the Phil Taylor Authentic Jersey home nations. It'd be nice to get someone different. "I'm not sure how the other guys feel. We're there and whoever comes out we'll deal with it." Wales are entering the unknown - as Coleman says: "We're in territory we've never been." Although some supporters can still recall the quarter-final defeat by Brazil at the 1958 World Cup, this will be Wales' first appearance at a European Championship. Coleman described qualification as the "holy grail", though a run to the latter stages in France could give the team legendary status - and it is not beyond the realms of possibility. In Gareth Bale, Wales have a genuinely world-class match-winner and, as the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Arjen Robben showed at the 2014 World Cup, it is often outstanding individuals who decide the outcome of international fixtures. "If you don't score goals you don't win games and thankfully we've got a world-beater," says Coleman. "That's huge - it's not http://www.nflbrownsofficialshop.com/Authentic-Phil-Taylor-Jersey just the goals, it's everything. It's his whole manner when he's wearing a Wales jersey. He absolutely loves it, thrives on it and he's always a part of the group, he puts the team first. "All over the pitch we've excelled but he's the icing on the cake." If there is a concern, it might be Wales' over-reliance on Bale. The Real Madrid forward scored seven of their modest total of 11 goals in 10 qualifiers - but this is a side built on solid foundations, going 574 minutes without conceding a goal before they lost in Bosnia. June's 1-0 win against Belgium demonstrated Wales' ability to frustrate and overcome illustrious opponents, and they may well need to delve into their giant-killing reserves next summer.
