Column: With Euros win, Wales shows it isn't just about Bale (The Associated Press)

For much of Gareth Bale's footballing life, the recipe his teammates have had to follow is a fairly simple one: Give him the ball and his left foot will do the rest. Bale's standout talents in the Wales squad of players from the first, second and third tiers of English football make the debate worthy. The world-record 100 million euros (then worth $132 million) that Real Madrid reportedly paid for Bale in 2013 - a fee that would stretch higher than the second floor of the Eiffel Tower if stacked in a pile of 50-euro notes - is almost twice as much as other clubs paid, in total, for all of the other 10 players who stood side-by-side with Bale for the kick-off in Bordeaux.
