England aren't the only side to be doing strange things with their starting eleven in Cardiff. Wales too (there wasn't a third option) have been making their share of odd lineup decisions, with manager Gary Speed inexplicably preferring Norwich City's Andrew Crofts to Blackpool's inspirational midfielder David Vaughan. With Gareth Bale already ruled out of the match with a hamstring injury, two of the team's best players aren't in the lineup. The upset's looking a little less likely right now.
