![]()
Wales have came home from Kiev with a creditable 1-1 draw against Ukraine - a team ranked 70 places above them in the Fifa rankings.

Manager Mark Hughes described the performance as one of the best he has ever witnessed by a Wales side. But his team are still searching for their first victory of the World Cup qualifying campaign. The leaves Wales with their worst run of results in 11 years after ten games without a win. What did you make of Wales' efforts in Kiev? Who starred and could have done better? Does Hughes have the experience and tactical awareness to take Wales forward? And do youngsters Simon Davies, Jason Koumas and Matthew Jones give any hope for the future?
The Welsh performance in Kiev proves that, as far as Wales are concerned, Fifa rankings have nothing to do with reality. Wales are a dangerous team, what they lack is a classy defender or two.
We did very well in getting a draw against such a tough team. Even though we won't qualify, I do want us to do well in our remaining matches.
Mr Hughes will get us to the Euro 2004 finals if he gets all the help from the league clubs that he needs to build for the competition. We haven`t won yet but we have to build, not for the next few months but for the years ahead. Mr Hughes will achieve this if he is left to do his job. He knows youth is the way and it will pay. Euro 2004 here we come.
Excellent solid performance especally the second half. The young stars shined and Hartson was a giant. Nice to see some fighting spirit, to come back and outplay the Ukraine in the second half was outstanding.
Superb performance. Simon Davies showed that he oozes class and confidence and Paul Jones showed how good a goalkeeper he really is. Hartson was also superb.
