Ben Davies is set to win his 100th cap when Wales face Belgium tonight. He is a Welsh great and Spursโ longest-serving player but he is a reluctant star. Hereโs the profile I wrote on him last year (updated for tonight):

Wow. That is huge for Wales. Win their remaining three games, starting with Belgium on Monday, and they will qualify automatically for the World Cup as group winners.

Tops off in the Wales end! The fans are swinging their shirts above their heads, belting out a rendition of Wales Away, a-ha, a-ha, I Like It. Being 3-0 down is not all that bad. For those unfamiliar, it's to the tune of KC & The Sunshine Band's That's The Way (I Like It).

Doing Wales player ratings for the first time in around 10 years tonight. Of all the games...

Ironic cheers for a Harry Wilson shot that goes over. We're at that stage already and it's not even half-time.

There's a murmur around Wembley at the moment. That kind of low, humming noise you hear at Lord's during a quiet passage of play in the afternoon session of a Test match. A sleepy post-lunch satisfaction for England's fans after that flurry of early goals.

3-0 Saka with a beautiful strike into the top corner. Impressive as England have been, Wales have been woefully passive. https://t.co/bsuqOgRkBc

2-0 England. Watkins from close range. We haven't even played 11 minutes yet. Remember, as Bellamy says, "there's no such thing as friendlies" so this is not actually happening. https://t.co/bsuqOgRkBc
