Gareth Bale wants to help Wales stage a memorable history lesson for the nation’s school-kids watching back home.
The Welsh government have given permission for schools to decide if they want to show this morning’s 10am kick off with Iran to pupils. Wales are aiming for their first-ever win at a World Cup after drawing three games before losing to Brazil in the country’s only previous appearance in 1958.
Now, 64 years on, Wales skipper Bale hopes a generation of youngsters will be able to tune in to savour a memorable display with their classmates. Victory would set up a blockbuster final Group B game between Wales and England with the winner likely to finish top.
