Welsh comedian, Elis James, has hit back at a social media user's comment which downplayed the heartbreak of Wales' play-off defeat. On Tuesday evening, Wales' dreams of a historic World Cup qualification ended in heartbreak in Zurich thanks to a late Swiss goal in extra time.
Favourites Switzerland played host to Gemma Grainger's side in the World Cup play-off final on October 11. This was the first time the Welsh visitors had progressed this far in their bid to qualify for a first major tournament.
The 2-1 extra-time defeat will be all the more gut-wrenching given Wales were just moments from taking it to a decisive penalty shootout. In response, comedian Elis James said on Twitter that he was in disbelief over the outcome of the final minute of extra time but said he was "so proud" of the team.
