I guess no one is watching this one?

 

[Tuggy]

Need Ukraine (and Germany) to win for my proline. So let's go!

 

[hatterson]

Huge goal for NIL there. If they hold on it might even let them get through into the knockout round .

 

[Shrimper]

Yes N.Ireland!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Northern Ireland up 1-0, as per TSN.

I like seeing relative minnows doing well, so hopefully they can hang on.

 

[Shrimper]

Oh wow. Temp suspension due to the weather.

 

[hatterson]

And hail brings us to a stop.

Wonder if it'll blow over.

 

[Soundgarden]

Wow, haven't seen that before. Lol. And they return.

 

[hatterson]

Well that was pointless....Took em off the field for maybe 3 minutes?

It was raining really big chunks. It was the right call. It just happened to end very quickly.

Man I really want NI to win.

If only football referees could see into the future.

 

[Plural]

That was clear filming.

 

[Plural]

What is going on?

 

[Soundgarden]

What the hell?

 

[Plural]

Ukraine can't shoot to save their life.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Can't believe Ukraine are losing against NIL. They looked half decent vs Germany.

 

[Plural]

Northern Ireland has to be glad this is soon over. It's only a matter of time when Ukraine will score.

Edit: I take that back. They suck now.

 

[Plural]

Oh yeah!!!

 

[cgf]

Can't believe Ukraine are losing against NIL. They looked half decent vs Germany.

Ukraine are far more dangerous on the counter than in possession, but with NI parking the bus early and then taking the lead, the Ukrainians haven't gotten many chances to break.

 

[Soundgarden]

2-0 in the final seconds

 

[hatterson]

That's a huge goal to help them get into the knockouts. That goal difference could be key.

 

[Eco]

Watched the first half, pretty awful stuff really. Had to come back to work so I haven't watched the second half. Glad NIL is winning though!

 

[TP]

very nice!

 

[Plural]

Nice appetizer before the main event. I like the fact that NIL won the game.
