Terrible pen and a missed chance for NI to stay in the race.
Slovakia ahead in Croatia.
Ohhh Slovakia are winning in Croatia, bad news for Wales if that holds.
McNair was a centre back for us. He seems to be some kind of roaming winger for N.Ireland.
He has 1 task. Stop De Jong .
Haha I was just going to write that, wasn’t Mc Nair a centre back for us.
What were we thinking..
He's been playing at Boro as an attacking midfielder for quite some time now.
He is a very good player
Good half.
Northern Ireland as expected been far more attacking than what we saw in Rotterdam. Feels a bit like Germany game though, can see Holland stepping things up and scoring twice in second half.

He really looks class and is getting better.
What a bizarre position change.
He’s an alright player, but I think he was 18 when he started centre back for us now he’s an attacking midfielder..
He has always played in midfield for NI
There's some quotes online where he says LVG played him out of position and he was never a defender which isn't really surprising tbh.
"Until I was 18, I played in midfield," he said. “Van Gaal played me at centre-back. So a lot of people think I’m a defender but I’ve not really ever been a defender. In midfield, a No10, I’ll play wherever – so long as I score two!
“When I was younger I scored a few goals so I’ve always chipped in. But I’ve waited a while for my first senior goal.
“I think my best position is left or right of a three in midfield.”
Just shows what a good level Depay is playing at recently. Netherlands look toothless without him
Defensive diving is a blight.
Fecking Slovakia man. It's written in the script, isn't it.
What happens if the score stays the same?
Slovakia wins the match
OK. Yes that's right, but Croatia have now equalised.Germany finally kicked into gear against Byelorussia. 3-0-
Its currently Croatia (15), Hungary (12), Slovakia (11), Wales (11). Slovakia play Azerbaijan in their last game which is a guaranteed 3pts. So we needed themt o lose this and crown Croatia the winners of the group. Croatia's final game, this.
Phew Croatia. Keep that score up now.
yes!
Let's hope Croatia get their backsides in gear then. Just as I typed that they scored.
Yip. Stay the same, and if we can beat Hungary, we're through.
successive Euro tournaments! (possibly)
Fecking Dubravka, does he have to be best goal keeper every time he plays agains United Croatia.
Could have neen 4-1 at least. This way it's squeaky bum time.

Come on, let's make it a home nations full house.
Slovakia down to 10. Their hopes are all but over.
shh, if you jinx us, I will find you
Surely NI will eventually chose to at least try and score?

what a goal Perisic
what a goal Perisic
We've got Slovakia on head to head. We didn't need them to lose, just as long as they didn't win, which isn't a worry anymore.
Not sure how we've got to the stage of it being in our hands and only having to beat Hungary at home to qualify, but I'll take it!
Edit - Just realised you're Croatian not Welsh! Congrats on qualifying.
Do Holland look like scoring? I’ve got £100 riding on them winning
you're thru anyway aren't you?
With Paddy?
Not really, 0-0 is enough to qualify for us.
Don’t mention them cnuts
