Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has claimed that he and his Wales teammates have the capacity to be the surprise package at Euro 2016 next summer.
Chris Coleman led the Welsh to a first major tournament for 58 years after they finished second in Group B, two points behind a star-studded Belgium team.
They have climbed up to eighth in the FIFA rankings as a result of their qualification heroics, and Hennessey can see no reason why Wales cannot continue to defy expectations in France.
"Hopefully we can surprise a few people," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"If we play like we can we will do well. We'll probably be written off but that's a challenge for us and we have what it takes to prove people wrong.
"We've shown we can keep clean sheets and that can take you a long way in tournament football. I'll take the clean sheets and let the other boys do their thing."
Wales rounded off their campaign with a 2-0 win over Andorra in Cardiff.
