It all comes down to this.
Wales host Ukraine in the World Cup play-off final in Cardiff this afternoon, looking to make their first appearance at the game’s biggest competition since 1958.
For the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, two of the country’s greatest ever players, this could well be the last roll of the dice.
Usually so strong in Cardiff, Rob Page’s side are up against it.
Ukraine overcame Scotland on Wednesday in emotional scenes and qualification for the 2022 World Cup would be one of the most remarkable sporting stories of the world.
What was so impressive about their win in Glasgow is just how routine it looked for a team playing against the backdrop of turmoil.
Wales, however, have a job to do.
The generation to have given them so much are surely in their final days now, with a World Cup appearance all that’s missing.
