During this time period, Wales also saw an improvement in their hopes of qualifying for a major tournament. They came close to qualifying for both the 1982 FIFA World Cup, losing out on goal difference to Czechoslovakia, and the 1984 European Championships. In the latter, a late goal for Yugoslavia in their final match against Bulgaria saw them overtake Wales to win the qualifying group. Wales narrowly failed to qualify for the third consecutive tournament, the 1986 FIFA World Cup, as they drew a decisive qualifying match against Scotland. A defeat in their last qualifying game against Germany, coupled with their opponents' subsequent victories in their last matches, led to Germany winning the group and the resulting qualification place for the 1992 European Championships. A similar defeat against Romania in 1993 resulted in Wales failing to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
