Wales's campaign never truly ignited, and a group stage exit brought an early end to their World Cup hopes. Goals proved hard to come by, with just 1 in 3 matches, and their lack of firepower ultimately told.
Wales endured a difficult group stage, unable to advance despite moments of resistance. Their campaign featured a 1-1 draw with United States, a 0-2 defeat against IR Iran, and a heavy 0-3 defeat to England. Wales's tournament ended at the the opening round, a campaign that never truly got going.

The tactical mind behind Wales's 2022 campaign. Winless under Page leading Wales at his first World Cup.
Rob Page's team relied heavily on Gareth Bale, but their attacking flair was not enough to overcome England. The Welsh coach opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation to compensate for his squad size and lack of depth.
