Bellamy holds hands up

Bellamy twice had chances to give Wales the lead on Saturday, once in the first half and once seconds before the Czech Republic went 1-0 up. The Liverpool striker has admitted he should have done better with his chances.

"It was another case of creating chances and not putting them away, and yes, that means me because of the two great opportunities we had," said Bellamy.
 
"But that's football, if you have ever played against Petr Cech you will know he is the best in the world.
 
"I wasn't creative enough with my first chance, I didn't open myself up to be able to place the ball round him.
 
"The boss had made us believe that this was a great opportunity to pick up an away win against one of the favourites.
 
"The two chances I had were crucial. I should shown more imagination when I was through, I tried to go past Cech but didn't do enough technically to do that, he read it easily.
 
"I would really have liked to see that one go in, it would have changed the match.
 
"The pressure was on me in this one, we were up against it a bit and we were not going to get many chances.
 
"The second miss was another vital moment. We were under the cosh and if that had gone in and not hit the post we might easily have gone on to win it.
 
"We should have got a point, minimum. And then to lose another goal like we did in the 89th minute was very upsetting, it was very disappointing all round."
