Euro 2024: Wales Fall Short On Qualification

By Chimezie Nebolisa

Wales missed out on Euro 2024 after Poland edged a penalty shootout 5-4 to qualify in Cardiff on Tuesday.

After the sides could not be separated in a tense 0-0 draw, Leeds winger Dan James was the only player to fail to score in the shootout.

Poland's five perfect spot-kicks earned them a place alongside France, the Netherlands and Austria in a tough Group D at Euro 2024 in Germany this summer.

Wales' new generation, shorn of the talismanic presence of the retired Gareth Bale, came up short by the finest of margins in heartbreaking fashion for the home fans and their manager at the Cardiff City Stadium.
