Wales’ focus lies on Thursday’s World Cup play-off draw as they wait to discover their semi-final and potential final opponents.
Having finished second in their qualifying group courtesy of an emphatic 7-1 triumph over North Macedonia – their biggest win since 1978 – Craig Bellamy’s side will play the last-four encounter on home soil.
They will face either Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo or Republic of Ireland in that fixture on 26 March.
Former Wales striker Rob Earnshaw believes the Dragons will relish a tie against any opponent on the back of their most recent result at Cardiff City Stadium.
“I know Craig Bellamy, I played with him and his mentality is ‘give us whoever, it doesn’t matter’,” Earnshaw told BBC Radio 5.
“A lot of people were saying last night, ‘do we really want Republic of Ireland as it’s that derby feel?’. I think a lot of people didn’t. But for me, that would be incredible.
“So it’s one of those, yes, we’ll take Kosovo or Bosnia and Albania are not bad and the Republic of Ireland, of course, they’re a very good team so they’ll be difficult.
“But you just feel that we’ll take anybody right now and it doesn’t matter, and a lot of that is down to Craig Bellamy.”
