Gareth Bale is confident that Wales can cause an upset and beat England on Saturday.
Wales are bottom of Group G having lost their opening three matches of the campaign but the Tottenham winger, who has dazzled the Premier League with his performances this season, thinks Gary Speed and his team can win at the Millennium Stadium.
‘We’re quietly confident in the camp that we’ve got enough to pull off an upset,’ said the 21-year-old, who has been mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by England manager Fabio Capello.

‘People might laugh at us but we fully believe that we’ve got some good players here and we’ll be prepared and ready to take it to England,’ he added.
‘I’ve had a bit of banter with Jermain Defoe and Michael Dawson back at Tottenham and it will be a great game on Saturday. I’m hoping Wales will come out on top. A lot of us haven’t played against England for the full team. It will be a great occasion and one we all want to play in.
