Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I hurihuri te hau i te taha o Haifa i te Paraire, i whiu i nga nikau me te tuku onepu ki te takutai e te Mediterranean e rere ana. I te āhua nei he pōwhiri ātaahua mai i te Middle East mō Wales i mua i te mea e whakaari ana hei tukinga o te reo pāwera me te nui o te hiranga. I konei i te Whenua Tapu, e hiahia ana a Wales ki te whakatata atu ki tā rātou whāinga roa: te tohu mō tētahi whakataetae nui. Mai i te Ipu o te Ao o te tau 1958 kāore rātou i tae ki tētahi whakataetae whakamutunga. Ko te kaitakawaenga o Wales a Gareth Bale i te wā o tētahi whakangungu i Īharaira i te Paraire. WALES (he pea, 5-3-1-1): Hennessey; Gunter, Collins, Williams, Davies, Taylor; Ramsey, Allen, Ledley; Bale; Vokes. ISRAEL (he pea, 4-3-3): Marciano; Dgani, Ben Haim I, Tibi, Ben Harush; Yeini, Natcho, Refaelov; Ben Haim II, Zahavi, Damari. Ka manaaki a Iharaira i te kapa a Chris Coleman i roto i te tukinga ka taea te haere ki te tautuhi i nga wawata o nga taha e rua ki te tae atu ki te Euro 2016. Ko te tuatahi ki te tuarua i te Rōpū B. I kawea e Coleman ana kaitākaro i roto i o rātau kaupae whakamutunga i te Papa Sammy Ofer hou, ka whakakiia i tēnei ahiahi ki te 30,000 o ngā kaitautoko o Iharaira, tae atu ki te 900 mai i Wales. Kāore i kitea e ngā kaiwhaiwhai haere i tō rātou kapa i tēnei wā, e rua ngā wikitoria, e rua ngā toenga, ko te tohu whakamutunga i Belgium he whakaaturanga tino whakamana, he hua hoki. E toru ngā wikitoria a Iharaira i roto i te toru, ā, i whiua a Bosnia e 3-0 i tā rātau kēmu kāinga whakamutunga. Kei te whakangungu a Bale i ana hoa kapa i te wa e tumanako ana a Wales ki te pupuri i to raatau timatanga kaore i hinga i te Roopu B. He whai wāhitanga tēnei me hopu e Wales. Mā te wikitōria e whakapūmau ai te tūmanako i whakaaturia mai ki tēnei wā, ā, ka whakatata atu ai te whakataetae whakamutunga ki Wīwī. Ko te hinganga ka whakaiti i taua kupu whakaari ki te nui. E mōhio ana a Coleman ki te hiranga o tēnei whiringa toa, e kī ana koinei te whiringa toa nui rawa atu a Wales mai i te tukinga tukinga o Euro 2004 ki a Rūhia. E hiahia ana ia kia rite tonu tana korero ina tae mai a Belgium ki Cardiff i te marama o Hune, engari ka taea noa iho ma te hua pai i konei. E rua ngā wā i uru ai te kaiwhakahaere o Wales ki ngā pakanga...
