hahahahahahahahahah .. terrific team work and BOTTLE .. the Red Hand Band0

With a current position Goal Difference (+1) They MIGHT just get one of the third spots now... Just need to avoid a bad defeat against Germany
Ironic because if the 3rd place team in Group A fail to Qualify then Northern Ireland get England (If we win our Group) in the 2nd Round
Wales beating Russia and England thumping Slovakia could help0 -
that is a huge result in what is a hard group. big chance of getting through.0

Have to say I thought expanding the competition to 24 would result in some proper one sided group games but off the top of my head both French games, N.Ireland beating Ukraine, Iceland drawing with Portugal, Hungary beating Austria, even Slovakia beating Russia was a bit of a shock. Been some great games and we're only half way through the groups.3

thought the same before the tournament but no team has come here just for a jolly. makes for close games and great performances.Callumcafc said:Have to say I thought expanding the competition to 24 would result in some proper one sided group games but off the top of my head both French games, N.Ireland beating Ukraine, Iceland drawing with Portugal, Hungary beating Austria, even Slovakia beating Russia was a bit of a shock.

Its actually done the oppositeCallumcafc said:Have to say I thought expanding the competition to 24 would result in some proper one sided group games but off the top of my head both French games, N.Ireland beating Ukraine, Iceland drawing with Portugal, Hungary beating Austria, even Slovakia beating Russia was a bit of a shock.

In past competitions neither Northern Ireland / Ukraine would be bothered today as they know they're both technically finishing 3rd / 4th and so out of the competition.
Yet now every Group game is important because even come their final game against Poland, Ukraine still can qualify due to 3rd spot.2 -
NIR topped their qualification group, Ukraine needed a play-off, it's a big win for them but is it such a shock result?1

Regardless though... I'm so pleased for Northern Ireland, against Poland they really let themselves down and if they had played like that it would have ruined the fact they'd got to Euro 2016 in the first place... Now if they dont progress they can go home as heroes with their heads held high, they've won a match and have given a great account of themselves - Nothing to be ashamed of now.1

It's the same for Wales. Both want to go through, but winning a game means that they both have achieved something in the Euros, something they'll always be remembered forForeverAddickted said:Regardless though...

me too .. and as you write, today's result further justifies, as loath as I am to type this, Platini's expansion plansCallumcafc said:Have to say I thought expanding the competition to 24 would result in some proper one sided group games but off the top of my head both French games, N.Ireland beating Ukraine, Iceland drawing with Portugal, Hungary beating Austria, even Slovakia beating Russia was a bit of a shock.

Its like the film Cool Runnings... the first run they do they completely mess it up and Jon Candy says that they choked, they had the opportunity, they choked and let themselves down.killerandflash said:

Fabulous result, and probably the third time in the tourno I've witnessed something that must be fantastic as a fan. You are one of the massed ranks in an unfamiliar stadium. Your team has a 1-0 lead and is hanging on for dear life. The tension is unbearable. Every second drags. Suddenly your team breaks away and lashes in a second. The noise is deafening. The tension has been released in the most dramatic way.
I say it "must be" fantastic, because I realised that as a Charlton fan, I don't think I have ever experienced it. Anyone?0 -
The wins away @ Liverpool and Arsenal are very close for me0
-
Very pleased by this. Northern Ireland were utter guff the other night so it's good to see them go out there and prove a point0

Not an away match, and not against "better opposition", but the FA Cup 5th round replay against Bristol City brings back such feelings. We were hanging on for a 1-0 win, knowing we'd get to play Man U away, then Kim Grant got a breakaway late goal to seal a famous winPragueAddick said:Fabulous result, and probably the third time in the tourno I've witnessed something that must be fantastic as a fan.

Poland are also wearing Nike, but have got much better looking kit than the horrible England effort.0 -
Can't believe Lewandowski is keeping Polish Pete out of the squad.....4

"A Northern Ireland fan in his sixties has died after collapsing during their match against Ukraine"

I think Piszczek should be selected for the random drugs test.1

The Ozil that plays for Germany is so much better than the Arsenal one.
Rather like the Danish Rommedahl v the Charlton one.0 -
Even with Boating and Hummels Germany look there for the taking defensively.0
