Sky Sports: Gareth Bale has cast doubt over his future after twice declining the opportunity to deny reports he could retire after the European Championship finals this summer.

Cannot see it as he will want to go for qualification to a world cup finals ..... and qualifications start this year! Just can't see him giving that up

Exactly - he may retire if we don't make it, but surely not before as it will be his last chance.

Very good point.
And if we qualify for the finals then we can expect another season from him.

Especially as the World Cup is only in 15 months because it's going to be in November 2022.
I think his agent said recently that he isn't retiring anyway.
Bale probably just wanted to take questions about Wales, always said he'll deal with it after the Euros.

He wont retire from football as he has still got a year left on his contract with Real Madrid. And if he is still on their books he wont retire from Wales with a possible World Cup in 18 months time.
