Being honest though it was a good result for England once again i was not impressed with the performance and Woy's changes at half time had to happen. Kane and Sterling were shit again !! I thought Lallana and Walker were Englands best players, Wales were very poor second half but i'm not sure that wasn't because they ran themselves into the ground chasing for not much result in the first half.
Have to say that i though NI were very good, for a bunch of players with no big tournament experience they showed that working together and playing to the very end can produce a decent result but i expected more from the Ukraine.
Btw. Gareth Bale, I mean Wales could have drawn the match.
England, on the whole were okay, and Wales in the first half were okay.
I thought that Ramsey was Wales' best player, and covered more yards than any other player?
Bale was like Ronaldo v Iceland? And Joe Hart is a cupid stunt to palm a 35 yard free kick into his net.
Never mind, watching Norn Ireland get two goals and celebrate like murder was a joy to behold.
I can't wait to see how ROI get on next.
I'm happy for northern Ireland and would love to see them qualify from their group - I still remember their great victory over spain in the 1982 world cup (which was sadly followed by a hammering from brazil )
Anyway I want a harmonious relationship with our northern neighbours so that, when they eventually come in under the 32 county umbrella, it wouldnt be too big of a move for them

If you have 3 points and a zero or positive goal difference your chances of going through as one of the third place sides are nearly 80%.
We (Ireland) wont qualify unless 2 points is enough to get us through - from the get go I had us down to draw 2 games and lose one and I cant see improving
