00:00 Robert Page said it was a horrible way to go out after his side lost 5-4 to Poland in
00:07 a penalty shootout in Cardiff in the Euro 2024 qualifying playoff.
00:12 Poland's captain Robert Lewandowski, who scored the first spot kick of the shootout, could
00:17 not bear to watch when his goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny pushed away the final penalty taken
00:23 by Dan James.
00:24 Page expressed pride in his players, however, and emphasised that he has nothing but respect
00:29 for James, who had to go on to play wing-back despite being a left winger.
00:35 "We're disappointed but we'll build on it," Page insisted, after the hopes of a third
00:40 consecutive major tournament came to a close.
00:43 Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney put Page's future in the spotlight
00:49 in October by saying the manager's position would be reviewed having not qualified for
00:54 Euro 2024 automatically.
