Wales, Page: "Good at reacting after the disadvantage. Bale? He's never let us down"

Robert Page, Wales coach, spoke at the press conference after the 1-1 draw against the United States: "We went behind against a good team, but we were good at reacting after the break. We showed we had character, the merit goes entirely to my boys who played a good second half, managing to win a point. Moore's entry? It was a tactical choice, I have nothing against James but given how the game was going I decided to make this change at the start of the second half. It has been 64 years since Wales last appeared at the World Cup, but it has been worth the wait – it has been great to see our fans celebrating."

On the equalizer: "When we were awarded the penalty, we knew that Bale would go from the penalty spot. He has never let us down in these circumstances".

On the team's condition: "There are some players who don't play every week and have complained of cramps. Our medical staff will have to work in view of the next match against Iran".
