Graeme Souness has questioned Gareth Bale's hunger to play at the highest level, and claims the Wales captain 'prioritises golf' over his own playing career.
Bale was on hand to score his side's first goal at a World Cup since 1958 during his side's Group B opener with the USA, which proved enough to earn Rob Page's men a potentially precious point ahead of Friday's clash with Iran.
The 33-year-old is poised to pull on the red shirt for the 110th time for that clash, which would see him overtake Chris Gunter to become his country's most-capped men's player.
