USA 1-1 Wales: World Cup 2022 – as it happened

The thoughts of Wales manager Rob Page

It was a really, really hard decision [to pick Wayne Hennessey ahead of Danny Ward] - it gave me a few sleepless nights. Wayne's got the shirt at the moment and his performance against Ukraine to get us here was probably the best I've seen from a goalkeeper in a Welsh jersey. Wardy understands; the keepers are a tight group.

[On leaving out Kieffer Moore] I want pace up front, and DJ [Dan James] certainly falls into that category.
