World Cup 2022: Wales v England: 'Welsh will try to win with emotion, not tactics'

Wales and England have met 103 times since 1879 but Tuesday’s game is the first time they have played each other at a World Cup finals.

You can watch the game live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website, with coverage starting at 18:00 GMT and kick-off an hour later.

Can Wales pull off a shock result that could rescue a disappointing tournament, or will England be back to their best after their below-par display against the United States and march into the knockout rounds as group winners?

Former Wales defender Danny Gabbidon and ex-Three Lions midfielder Jermaine Jenas are sharing co-commentary duties on the game, and here they talk about where it will be won and lost.

What will be the Welsh plan?

Danny Gabbidon: Wales defender Ben Davies has talked about how they could use the United States’ approach as a blueprint for how to cause England problems but it is very difficult to play that way.

The US are quite a unique team with a high-energy style and, all through the team and on their bench, there are athletes – they are a very fit side.

So their way of playing suits them, and they have been doing it for some time too.

Wales don’t usually play like that so it is a big ask for them to suddenly start now, but there are still elements they can take away from the US performance and look to replicate, like their positivity.

There was no fear there – they didn’t care they were playing England. It was a case of ‘this is how WE play’.

That kind of identity is what Wales need to find again, not just for this game but for after their World Cup is over.

So we might see a different game plan here from Rob Page, where it might be more of a containment job to begin with. We have got to be defensively solid and organised, and then look to hit England on the break.

England have struggled down the years to break down teams that sit with a low block and make it difficult for them. Wales can do that but they also have to hurt them. The ball will probably go up to Kieffer Moore, and from there out to the wide players and our runners.

‘England have to deal with Wales’ emotion’

Jermaine Jenas: Both teams go into this game wanting to find a performance for different reasons: Wales probably to sign off with one, and England to take one forward into the knockout stages.

This feels like the end of an era for this Wales team but if Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen – who are all in their 30s and unlikely to play in another World Cup – want a big send-off, then this provides it.

It doesn’t get much bigger than playing England at a World Cup and that makes them dangerous opposition, regardless of the fact they are extremely unlikely to get out of the group.

It’s not just those three – the whole team will be desperate to do better here after couple of disappointing displays in Qatar.

For them to find the performance they want will be fully down to emotion, their fans and knowing what it means to the story of their career, rather than being able to tactically put something together to beat England, because on that level they are nowhere near as good.
