Wales head coach Chris Coleman had this to offer ahead of today's European qualifier (via Sky Sports): "They have a great chance to live up to the tag they have been given as the golden generation. I thought the first Welsh team I played in was the golden generation, with Neville Southall, Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Dean Saunders, Gary Speed and Ryan Giggs. What a team that was, but we did not do it. These boys have also been handed that label and they will live up to it if they do the business."
"Are they good enough? Yes," he added. "I think they are. We are good enough to do something we have never done. But time will tell and the proof will be in the pudding."
