SOUNDBITE: Chris Coleman, Wales Head coach
"I think when we look at the game in the cold light of the day then Belgium had some chances to win the game, as you expect. They are a great team. They are the best, they are the best ever Belgium team and I would have to agree with that, certainly in my life time, watching football. And you know they are going to make you run around, they are going to try to move you from side to side of the pitch. They have got players that can create chances from nothing. So we knew we had our luck a little bit. Saying that you know, we had one or two moments at the other end when we counter attacked. And we were just stubborn and we tried to stay in the game as long as we could. It was just a courageous performance at the end of the day that they were worthy of the point our players."
SOUNDBITE: Chris Coleman, Wales Head coach
"If we are serious about doing something in this campaign we have got to come here and get something. That is four games we have played, we have two clean sheets, one away to Belgium, one home to Bosnia. Two games where you know when you're up against a very, very good team. And you know sometimes, I think maybe 18 months ago we would have buckled in that game tonight and lost the game. But we did not, I think we have grown as a team. I think we are definitely more…we have a better game understanding when we do not have the possession at this level, at the international level against players that if you give them, if you are half a yard too slow or too short they are going to punish you so you know we are getting better at that."
