Wales 2-0 Liechtenstein

David Edwards and a deflected Ched Evans header gave Wales their second Group Four win against Liechtenstein at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.

But Toshack knows that the Germans will provide a far sterner test than the tiny principality that has a population of less than 40,000.

The Wales manager said: "We will have to be better in Germany. We are very aware of that. The game was as difficult as I expected. But we had chances, scored twice, missed a penalty and fully deserved to win. We were the better side and should have won by a couple more."

Craig Bellamy's missed penalty was the third by a Wales player in successive matches. Toshack said: "Craig was confident. He wanted to take it. But their goalkeeper was their best player on the night and made a lot more saves. It seems every goalkeeper who comes to this stadium plays very well.

"Liechtenstein had a couple of chances, they worried us, but I am pleased we have six points so far.

"We have two massive games now in March at home to Finland and Germany. That is where we will have to pick up some points if we are to qualify."

Before then, Wales must travel to the continent this week.

"Germany away is a completely different type of game for us," said Toshack. "We go there with the knowledge that we have six points, although we know we do need to get something from a couple of away games if we are to be competitive in this group."

Liechtenstein boss Hans-Peter Zaugg conceded that Wales were deserved winners. "We have no argument with the result. Wales were the best side and we are just pleased to have kept the score to 1-0 for so long.

"We are disappointed. Some of my players did not play to their best and, for us to achieve anything at international level, every one of our players must be at the very peak form all the time." Zaugg also claimed that his side had been unfortunate with refereeing decisions.

"We may have had a penalty before they scored, but, once that happened, it was always difficult," added Zaugg.

"I told our strikers at half-time they must do more - be more cheeky in possession to try something different.

"But we did not win even one free kick and that says a lot about what we were lacking up front. We lost a lot of silly possession and you are punished when that happens."
