Wales must put their big boy pants on and give their fans a World Cup performance to be proud of in their final group game against England, according to manager Robert Page.
Wales drew with the USA and lost to Iran, a game in which Page said his players "crubbled" under pressure.
If Wales beats England on Tuesday, they have a chance of making the last 16.
Page said they had worked so hard to get into this position.
We've shown nowhere near the levels of performance that have gotten us to this World Cup, so I'm frustrated and disappointed for the players." That's what I don't like.
We need to draw a line under the last performance.
We have to give a performance that our fans can be proud of regardless of the other results.
I will pick a team that will give everything to the cause and react in a positive way.
Having failed to qualify for a World Cup since 1958, Wales' first game of the tournament against the USA was a highly anticipated event.
The players were overwhelmed in the first half and Page's side didn't look like they were going to beat Iran on Friday.
The first 45 minutes against the USA were nerve-racking, according to Page.
It's the first time in 64 years that all of the emotions are building up to it. The players are affected by it.
Iran were ready for it even though we didn't show up. They rose to the challenge and we did not.
When they did have the ball, both players were wasteful.
Bale and Ramsey could be dropped for the match against England if they don't perform better.
It's difficult for anyone in this environment to leave four days later.
I'm going to pick a team that I think can go out and compete against England, no matter what the situation is. I'm not going to let that go to waste.
Can they make a difference if they don't start? I've always had a problem playing games quickly. Can they start the next game. My thought process will not change.
They are talented footballers regardless of whether they come on and have an impact or not.
Results aren't going our way and that's the industry we're in, so we're all getting criticism and that's right. It's not a problem because we are large enough to take it. We got on with it after putting our pants on.
