Bobby Gould praised his inexperienced Welsh side for scaring the world champions, Brazil, in Brasilla. Although going down 3-0 he said: "We had seven clear cut chances but they scored two world class goals - you've got to be there to see how brilliant they are," Gould insisted.

"What I'm trying to do is tell the players that they've got to look at what they saw today and say `that is what I want to be."'

The man he gave most credit to was one of the oldest members of the party, Nottingham Forest striker Dean Saunders.
