Second legs are today, looking a grim for the Welsh teams (well even more grim than it usually looks for them).  Cefn Druids are training 1-0 in Lithuania against Trakai, while Bala have it all to do against Tre Fiori at home. 

Elsewhere it's looking like Prishtina are heading for the First round, they lead 3-0 at home in the first half while B36 Torshavn and St. Joseph's appears to be heading to extra time, the Gibraltar team have just equalized late, making it 2-2 on aggregate

4 teams are now through to the first round, Trakai who held off Cefn Druids 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.  B36 Torshavn who defeated St. Joseph's on penalties, Prishtina, who have demolished Europa 5-0 at home in the second leg for a 6-1 aggregate win a result which will provide vital coefficient points for Kosovo looking to get an extra European place, and Gzira United who have won their second leg against Sant Julia 2-1 for a 4-1 aggregate win.

A new low for Welsh football.

Excellent.

Welsh football is slowly slipping down the coefficient rankings, they could soon end up needing to be in the Champions League preliminary tournament along with the Gibraltarians, Andorrans, and Sanmarinese.  I would expect Kosovo to slowly climb up that coefficient rankings in the next couple of years and results so far could see the Faroe Islands overtake Wales, putting the Welsh on the bubble to be bumped down into that bottom 4 countries

There appears to have been some late drama in the final tie of the night.  Engordany of Andorra had won the first leg 2-1 at home against Foglore of San Marino and had been holding on to a 0-0 draw in the second leg in San Marino when Foglore scored in the 86th minute to put themselves ahead on away goals.   Then in the 6th minute of 5 minutes of added time a Foglore player named Francesco Sartori scores an own goal with the last kick of the time to give Endgordany a 3-2 aggregate win!

And with results elsewhere, especially Progres Niederkorn winning, they could well end up in the bottom 4 of the coefficients (meaning CL preliminary tournament). They are 5th bottom now and 1 more point for a team from Luxembourg (providing Welsh teams don't get any more points) will put them in the bottom 4.

And Kosovo's teams picking up points (which is amplified by only having two teams) Wales could fall further behind

lol that's as legit a reason as any.  You may have problems next year, there are no countries that start with X so either you find a team that starts with X or jump directly to Yemen
