Wales winger Gareth Bale has revealed that he is disappointed by the lack of upcoming international fixtures.

Gary Speed's side continued their positive run of recent form with a 4-1 win over Norway this afternoon and Bale would have liked the opportunity to have enhanced their winning mentality sooner.

"We have got a great team spirit building, it's good to get a winning mentality under our belt," the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder told Sky Sports News.

"We want to keep improving and we know there is still a long way to go but we've got a long lay-off for internationals now, which is a bit disappointing, but I think when we all get back together we'll be as strong as ever."

Bale opened the scoring during today's victory.
