Why did Wales take so long to recover after losing to Romania? | ARWR: The Deep Dive

Wales’ ‘generation defining’ defeat against Romania in 1993 marked the end of Terry Yorath’s time as Wales manager and the beginning of a decline in the fortunes of the national side. But what were the causes of such a dramatic downturn, and why did it take so long for Wales to recover? And were Welsh fans deluded to have expected to beat a Romania side that went on to reach the quarter-finals?

Chris Wathan joins Ryan March and Greg Caine to give some extra depth and context to ‘Welsh football’s darkest night’, when Romania overcame Wales in Cardiff to reach the 1994 World Cup at their expense.
