    Bale the difference again. Like all top players he can get away with doing very little then in a flash turn the game and that's what he did. Tap in for Robson Kanu if the NI player didn't stick a foot out. We were dreadful today but much of that was down to the opposition who set out to stifle us. I'm not sure Belgium or Hungary would play like that.

    Let's be honest if we go out now we've had a great tournament.

    Not an impressive performance, but a winning one. Luckily we won't have to play anyone else that will be so conservative and they will be gaps for Bale whoever we play against.

    Can only beat what's in front of you and we did. Back 5 magnificent.

    Credit to Ireland they pressed and stifled us until Bale's magic moment.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Portugal look like they might beat Croatia. That would be great for you guys.

    You'll probably never have a better chance to reach the final of a major tournament, than what you have with this side of the draw, in your lifetime.

    Well done on today. As has been stated, you can only beat what's in front of you. Whoever you play next is going to be really competitive.

    NI were the underdogs that had nothing to lose and that is why we looked dishevelled but if you look at all the games then the favourites all struggled to win. From now on in we will be the underdogs and that suits us best and it wont surprise me one bit if we make it all the way.....It resembles what Greece did when they qualified after being out of the tournament for years and were the biggest underdogs in the whole tournament and shocked the football world by winning the cup. im not saying we will do the same but it does show that it's not impossible....Like kiff said we have exceeded all expeditions already so we can be proud anyway.....I would love to go further and reach the final by any means possible and there is no reason with luck on our side we cant.....
