Gareth Bale led LAFC to a Major League Soccer championship and off a hot summer he is ready to lead Wales in the World Cup this fall.
Wales is only making its second World Cup appearance. The other came in 1958 when the team finished 1-3-1 in five matches but lost in the quarterfinals to Brazil that year. There were only 16 teams in the tournament that year.
Things are much different now.
