Wales continue pre-match tradition of taking a terrible team photo prior to Georgia draw

Gareth Bale is pretending he knows nothing about it

Is there an international team that has more fun that Wales appear to be having?

The nation is still riding high after reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2016 this summer, in what was their first international tournament in 58 years.

Wales are hoping it won’t be a similar wait for the next one though having won one and drawn two of their opening three games in Group D of their World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Dragons suffered a disappointing draw at home to Georgia on Sunday, who are ranked 137^th in the world – 127 places below Wales.

However, it was not the football which people have been noticing recently, but the pre-match team photo.

Wales lined up for the photo with three players standing behind, while the remaining eight were crouched in front, days after an equally terrible attempt at a picture prior to the 2-2 draw away to Austria.

Sunday’s scorer Gareth Bale refused to give away whether the photos were an in-joke between the players ahead of the Georgia game.

When asked about the photos, Bale, with a cheeky across his face, said: “I don’t know what you’re on about.”

And when it was suggested Wales were just rubbish at team photos, the Real Madrid superstar said: “I think it must be that, yeah.”
