Fletcher said: 'My aim is to play in a Finals. Playing in the Champions League is unbelievable but the World Cup is the ultimate every four years. I don't want to be another Ryan Giggs. It is a worry, though. The way the rankings are now, the longer you don't qualify the harder it gets. You slip further down the pots. We were in pot three this time. If we don't qualify again we could be down in pot four and end up with three really tough nations. It definitely becomes a vicious circle.
Wales have found that. If they had done better in previous years they might have a chance now. That's the way international football is going and we can't let that happen to us. Ryan hasn't done badly in his career - it is just a shame the world hasn't seen him grace the biggest international stage.'
