:00:53. > :00:56.Good evening - four more games at Euro 2016 today as we get closer
:00:57. > :00:58.to determining the last 16 at the tournament.
:00:59. > :01:00.And that is proving to be easier said than done.
:01:01. > :01:03.As it needs sharp mathematical brains to work it out,
:01:04. > :01:08.we have booked Robbie Savage and Neil Lennon.
:01:09. > :01:11.First up, Northern Ireland against Germany with Michael O'Neill's men
:01:12. > :01:13.taking on the World Champions, knowing that even defeat
:01:14. > :01:17.would still leave them with a chance of being in the knockout stages.
:01:18. > :01:27.At the Parc des Princes - Gerry Armstrong and Jonathan Pearce.
:01:28. > :01:33.From Belfast to Bushmills, they will be hoping, is there anyone left-back
:01:34. > :01:37.in Northern Ireland? The whole country seems to be here in Paris
:01:38. > :01:41.singing and above all, believing. As long as they'd avoid defeat by four
:01:42. > :01:54.goals, they should go through. They will have a crack at the hosts
:01:55. > :02:04.France if that happens. Michael O'Neill's line-up.
:02:05. > :02:13.It is all about tenacity and work ethic. Washington was scoring in the
:02:14. > :02:19.United counties league not so long ago.
:02:20. > :02:32.Second international for Joshua Kimmich.
:02:33. > :02:43.Gotze dropping deeper with Draxler added to the bench. Muller, top
:02:44. > :02:51.scorer in the last two World Cups. Just had one shot on target. Can you
:02:52. > :02:55.feel 82, can you feel 86? I can't, I felt that at the qualifiers when
:02:56. > :02:58.they were winning away in Hungary and Greece and I thought this might
:02:59. > :03:04.be a team that has started to develop. Northern Ireland 22 now in
:03:05. > :03:11.the world. A lovely ball through to Muller. Good save. Muller still
:03:12. > :03:17.without a goal in the Championship finals. Steven Davis arriving on the
:03:18. > :03:24.edge of the box and it is just stolen away from the foot of Conor
:03:25. > :03:29.Washington. This is the breakthrough, clever first time
:03:30. > :03:41.pass. You would expect Thomas Muller to do better than that. That has
:03:42. > :03:45.come through to Ozil and the goalkeeper got it away. Another
:03:46. > :03:57.chance for Germany. Michael McGovern does William Gay again. -- does
:03:58. > :03:58.brilliantly again. As a player, the German manager wasn't as successful
:03:59. > :04:17.as Michael O'Neill. Gotze. It comes out to Kimmich and
:04:18. > :04:22.he has chipped it. Michael McGovern having the game of his life. Great
:04:23. > :04:28.opportunity for Gotze and Michael spreads himself and says it with his
:04:29. > :04:34.legs. If Northern Ireland witness, they will top the group. Take
:04:35. > :04:43.yourself back to 1982, that is exactly what happened with our side
:04:44. > :04:50.then. Here is Muller. It goes wide. Good commendation play between the
:04:51. > :04:52.front two. Chest control from Gotze. You can see his body shape, he would
:04:53. > :05:06.always drag that one wide. That was well taken, a good
:05:07. > :05:10.challenge by Ward. He has got Washington on his left but he didn't
:05:11. > :05:16.need it. Straight into the hands of the goalkeeper. A fabulous run from
:05:17. > :05:23.Ward but he had the opportunity to feed the ball to Washington. Amazing
:05:24. > :05:26.sound from the Northern Ireland supporters. They are definitely
:05:27. > :05:33.winning that one against the German fans.
:05:34. > :05:40.What a diving header by Muller and it either hit the post or was
:05:41. > :05:44.brilliantly parried away. Another excellent all into the box from
:05:45. > :05:59.Kimmich. Off the post. Unlucky, Muller. Look at this from Gareth
:06:00. > :06:02.McAuley. The Northern Ireland fans. They are certainly not overawed. I
:06:03. > :06:06.know they were disappointed with the way they played in the opening game.
:06:07. > :06:12.They did not feel they gave everything they had against Poland,
:06:13. > :06:17.they started tentatively in a major Championship after so long. Couldn't
:06:18. > :06:23.agree more. Certainly they have more than made up for that now. Mesut
:06:24. > :06:32.Ozil for Germany. Gomez. Back to Gomez. Germany are in. 25 minutes
:06:33. > :06:39.gone and they needed that breakthrough. The build-up is good
:06:40. > :06:44.and again, Mesut Ozil let that pass through, lovely one touch. The
:06:45. > :06:53.goalkeeper clears the first time ball and they stick it in the back.
:06:54. > :07:00.Craig Cathcart comes across. The ball takes a deflection.
:07:01. > :07:09.Northern Ireland have not conceded more than one goal in the last 15
:07:10. > :07:13.internationals. If they lose by this margin or another, they could well
:07:14. > :07:15.still be there and I think they will be there as one of the best third
:07:16. > :07:27.placed teams. Gotze pulls it back. Muller, off the
:07:28. > :07:33.bar. Twice he has been denied by the wood work. The ball is cut back and
:07:34. > :07:39.it is a super strike. Thomas Muller is a little unlucky. Michael must be
:07:40. > :07:45.thinking about changing and I know he has players warming up. Five
:07:46. > :07:51.minutes left in the half. Ozil breaking into the line and that
:07:52. > :07:56.should have been two Gomez. Mesut Ozil again does really well, commits
:07:57. > :08:05.defenders, slot it into his path and he scuffs it.
:08:06. > :08:12.A lovely ball by Kimmich, saw the run of Gotze, terrific all keeping
:08:13. > :08:21.again by Michael McGovern. Saving Northern Ireland. But here is
:08:22. > :08:27.Muller. What the a game of the goalkeeper has had. Absolutely top
:08:28. > :08:34.drawer. Sami Khedira, it is Ozil and it is Gotze and it is wide. Gotze
:08:35. > :08:35.was at the near post, another good opportunity and they should have
:08:36. > :08:49.scored. This is a fabulous ball. Michael McGovern stretches himself
:08:50. > :08:57.to prevent Mario Gotze. Kroos, stick with Schurrle. Davis, Washington
:08:58. > :09:02.ahead of him, Evans trying to come in. It was stolen off him by Mesut
:09:03. > :09:10.Ozil who has been outstanding for Germany. Unlucky, what a fantastic
:09:11. > :09:20.brand that was. Whatever happens, they will have a party. They are
:09:21. > :09:27.having a party! Khedira. And it is still Khedira. He shoots, good saved
:09:28. > :09:32.by the goalkeeper, just wide on the rebound. Gomez has missed some
:09:33. > :09:38.chances. Mario Bilate should have scored. Another good save from
:09:39. > :09:45.Michael McGovern and the opportunity goes begging.
:09:46. > :09:55.A clever ball. That is what you want, a one-on-one situation. It is
:09:56. > :10:00.a corner kick, an opportunity for a good ball situation where Northern
:10:01. > :10:05.Ireland can bring some of their taller players forward. In comes the
:10:06. > :10:12.corner and another dangerous set piece. Jonny Evans rising. This is
:10:13. > :10:18.what I said they are good at, good set pieces and good delivery. Jonny
:10:19. > :10:29.Evans gets up really well here, jumps very well against Mario Gomez.
:10:30. > :10:40.Mesut Ozil finding space. Schweinsteiger through a wall of
:10:41. > :10:44.green. Kimmich did well. Get across into the back post, looking for
:10:45. > :10:50.Gomez and again, pushed away by McGovern. What a fabulous save from
:10:51. > :10:56.Michael McGovern. Great ball into the box as well. Mario Gavranovic
:10:57. > :11:00.towers above him at the far post and get up really well. His head was
:11:01. > :11:06.down and the left hand, brilliant save from Michael McGovern. I have
:11:07. > :11:10.not seen any goalkeeper make as many saves as Michael McGovern has today.
:11:11. > :11:33.Hector is in a central position. Ozil comes inside. Worth the effort.
:11:34. > :11:41.Just keep it low. Really pushing further power. Kyle Lafferty on the
:11:42. > :11:45.Borno. I'm not sure how impressed the German media will be with this.
:11:46. > :11:52.The last 15 seconds of stoppage time. Listen to the Northern Ireland
:11:53. > :11:58.fans. The order of the day is Michael McGovern, sticking this one
:11:59. > :12:05.forward. Everyone has gone forward now. Craig Cathcart, Jonny Evans,
:12:06. > :12:13.all up there. Trying to make legends of yourself. WHISTLE
:12:14. > :12:17.Not today. Northern Ireland beaten by the world champions. Gomez with
:12:18. > :12:22.the only goal of the game to beat Michael O'Neill's side. Have they
:12:23. > :12:26.done enough to go through as one of the best third placed teams? We will
:12:27. > :12:33.have to wait and see. The Northern Ireland fans truly memorable but
:12:34. > :12:36.Germany the winners, Gomez goal. How proud are you that Northern Ireland
:12:37. > :12:43.performance that you were able to the score to 2- -- 1-0? Time will
:12:44. > :12:47.tell. We will know within 48 hours if we are good enough to go through
:12:48. > :12:52.and we will be disappointed if not. We knew the game was going to be the
:12:53. > :12:57.way it was, we are playing against the best team in the world. We knew
:12:58. > :13:02.it would be tough. The chances they had, looking at the defending and
:13:03. > :13:07.Michael McGovern's performance, it was immense. We stayed in the game
:13:08. > :13:11.and that was our true spirit. It was mentally very hard and we were under
:13:12. > :13:13.a lot of pressure and even when they scored, we knew every goal was
:13:14. > :13:17.crucial with goal difference and so we wanted to keep it to one and
:13:18. > :13:24.maybe get an equaliser. It was important to keep the score down.
:13:25. > :13:28.They will champions. Every player gave everything they had. Everyone
:13:29. > :13:33.is shattered and really tired. Michael McGovern was unbelievable
:13:34. > :13:39.tonight. We gave him a round of applause when he came in,
:13:40. > :13:47.unbelievable. It is a situation, not signed Tony Clubb, every
:13:48. > :13:51.performance, will have a massive say where I will end up in the future. I
:13:52. > :13:55.think there will be a few decent offers for him and a few knocks on
:13:56. > :14:00.the door and no better guys deserves it than Mickey. A word for the
:14:01. > :14:05.Northern Ireland support today? It was truly amazing from start to
:14:06. > :14:08.finish! Even when we were warming up, you could see the lads with big
:14:09. > :14:15.smiles on their faces, listening to them all. I hope they enjoyed the
:14:16. > :14:20.game. Regardless of the result. We said, we lose the game, we used it
:14:21. > :14:24.1-0 and that is the best result we could have had and we have done
:14:25. > :14:29.that. It was tough to cause the players are playing against the best
:14:30. > :14:33.there is and to come away with a 1-0 defeat, there is no shame in that.
:14:34. > :14:38.How impressed were you by Northern Ireland today and their goalkeeper
:14:39. > :14:41.in particular? You can hear their fans, their supporters right now,
:14:42. > :14:49.they are really happy about their performance. I have great respect of
:14:50. > :14:55.the team, they plate like a team, very compact. It is not easy to play
:14:56. > :14:58.against them. We gave everything. We just kept going and digging in and
:14:59. > :15:04.to be fair, the fans were unbelievable today. They sang for 90
:15:05. > :15:09.plus minutes and inspired us to keep going, in the latter stages we knew
:15:10. > :15:19.and we know that goal difference can play a part.
:15:20. > :15:30.They deserved the opportunity to go to the round of 16. That is what
:15:31. > :15:34.this experience is all about. Lads playing in the Football League play
:15:35. > :15:39.against some of the best players in the world. We want the experience to
:15:40. > :15:44.continue. Some people might have avoided the results to save
:15:45. > :15:49.themselves for this show. Unlikely, but we will not give it away.
:15:50. > :15:55.Whether they're through or not, how much have they surprised you at this
:15:56. > :16:01.tournament? They have not. I expected the performance I have
:16:02. > :16:05.seen. Top of the group in qualification and winning
:16:06. > :16:10.comfortably in the end. The mentality all the way through was
:16:11. > :16:12.fantastic. What was disappointing was the performance against Poland
:16:13. > :16:19.because they are capable of better. They rectified that with that
:16:20. > :16:25.performance against the Ukraine. We expected the goal, and a defeat to
:16:26. > :16:31.Germany like that probably the best they could have four. A standing
:16:32. > :16:36.ovation for Michael McGovern in the dressing room after the game. He was
:16:37. > :16:40.sensational and the kind of performance that could change his
:16:41. > :16:44.career as Kyle Lafferty said. He plays for Hamilton Academicals, I
:16:45. > :16:48.remember in the qualifying campaign when he dropped the ball against
:16:49. > :16:52.Hungary, Kyle Lafferty got him out of jail in that game and today he
:16:53. > :16:57.produced a performance that was magnificent. Unbelievable
:16:58. > :17:03.performance. He put himself in the shop window. He comes out and makes
:17:04. > :17:10.himself big and blocks it brilliantly. A bit of a sore one,
:17:11. > :17:17.but he got up! He knew what was coming! I have known Michael for
:17:18. > :17:21.years, he was a young kid at Celtic, did not make the grade there and
:17:22. > :17:26.went on to have a successful career in the lower leagues in Scotland.
:17:27. > :17:31.Now he is in the shop window and has made the most of that today. You
:17:32. > :17:36.know how the transfer market works, he will already be on the radar of
:17:37. > :17:43.some clubs. It was a magnificent save. Jansson Lehman was here today
:17:44. > :17:48.and could not believe it, he was overawed by his performance. He
:17:49. > :17:53.asked if he could speak German! And said you should learn because a few
:17:54. > :17:58.clubs today will be looking at him. It is not just from the Scottish or
:17:59. > :18:04.English market, you're looking at the European market who will now be
:18:05. > :18:13.looking at him. To pull off a save against Germany as well, so many
:18:14. > :18:18.fantastic players. Brave, made himself big and all kinds of saves
:18:19. > :18:23.as well. Is he good enough for the Premier League but among time will
:18:24. > :18:30.tell. It is all about the Premier League! Lets go onto that goal from
:18:31. > :18:36.Thomas Muller. They had been knocking on the door for a while and
:18:37. > :18:43.he and Mesut Ozil get together. Beautiful from Gomez. Muller keeps
:18:44. > :18:50.his composure. And slams the din with the aid of a deflection. We
:18:51. > :18:57.could have been three or four down at that stage. So no more than
:18:58. > :19:01.Germany deserved. The Gomez goal of course, Moller with the assist, they
:19:02. > :19:07.worked as a dual in this game quite a bit. And Germany had great centre
:19:08. > :19:14.forward in the past but they have experimented. And with Gomez back
:19:15. > :19:21.they had a target man. Speaking to people in the German game, the
:19:22. > :19:30.concept of how Germany play, for years they have had ruthless
:19:31. > :19:35.strikers. It is midfield runners, white men coming in off the line and
:19:36. > :19:44.most of the chances for to the likes of Muller, Mesut Ozil, Gotze. They
:19:45. > :19:54.have one striker and nothing coming up next. There are no spring
:19:55. > :20:02.chicken. They do not have this conveyor belt as you would expect.
:20:03. > :20:12.Add this tournament I'm seeing the out and out striker on his way out.
:20:13. > :20:15.What do you think? It is the formation, it seems to have gone out
:20:16. > :20:20.the window and they're playing different style. If you look at
:20:21. > :20:24.England at the minute, how many strikers they have got, Daniel
:20:25. > :20:31.Sturridge, Marcus Rashford, they tend to play out wide as well. I
:20:32. > :20:38.have watched the games, and even with friends, the central striker
:20:39. > :20:48.and three, he is isolated, he does not get involved. All the good play
:20:49. > :20:55.is coming from wider areas, as we saw with France. Coaches always told
:20:56. > :21:02.me you live and die from your centre forwards. So the game is changing.
:21:03. > :21:13.Is the out and out striker on his way out? With Wales the goals coming
:21:14. > :21:24.from Ramsey, Sam Vokes occupying the centre have well but you might have
:21:25. > :21:25.a point. England there is no support, the Lone striker on his
:21:26. > :21:26.own. So with Germany winning,
:21:27. > :21:29.Poland would have to rack up the goals against Ukraine
:21:30. > :21:31.to overtake them at Watching this one Mark Lawrenson
:21:32. > :21:44.and Simon Brotherton. These two nations with the co-hosts
:21:45. > :21:50.four years ago. Both went out in the group stage. It is more of the same
:21:51. > :21:53.for the Ukraine but Poland unbeaten and on the verge of reaching the
:21:54. > :21:57.knockout stages for the first time ever. Not surprisingly given the
:21:58. > :22:15.disappointing performance so far, the Ukraine line-up shows five
:22:16. > :22:25.changes. Ruslan Rotan features. Zozulya leads the attack. Poland
:22:26. > :22:27.have made four changes to the team that drew with Germany the other
:22:28. > :23:02.night in Paris. Fabianski keeping his place in goal
:23:03. > :23:12.today for Poland. Here comes Milik now with Lewandowski alongside him.
:23:13. > :23:29.Trying to go through the goalkeeper there. Milik. Into Robert
:23:30. > :23:34.Lewandowski. Great chance, wonderful opportunity spurned. I think you
:23:35. > :23:44.made that opportunity more difficult for himself, letting it, crosses
:23:45. > :23:57.body. -- letting it come across his body. Zozulya beaten to it. A nice
:23:58. > :24:03.touch and a chance for Ukraine. Tumbling wide of the goal. Much to
:24:04. > :24:09.the frustration of Yarmolenko. He knows he is capable of better than
:24:10. > :24:10.that. The goalkeeper waiting, assessing the situation, Fabianski,
:24:11. > :24:31.then rushing out really quickly. Robert Lewandowski, beautifully
:24:32. > :24:44.taken, create the chance. Of all his chances, he did brilliantly there.
:24:45. > :24:51.Down from Zinchenko. Yellow shirts flooding forward. All hands on deck
:24:52. > :25:07.for Poland. Fabianski had that covered. Only just.
:25:08. > :25:16.It has been a long road back from injury for Blaszczykowski. He has
:25:17. > :25:25.never been the same since that cruciate injury. Other good chance
:25:26. > :25:37.for Zinchenko. Just get a bit too much on it.
:25:38. > :25:44.Now Blaszczykowski. Just nudged over by Ruslan rotten. Poland the top
:25:45. > :25:47.scores in qualifying. 30 goals in the qualifiers but struggling to
:25:48. > :25:52.find the back of the net here. Just that one goal against Northern
:25:53. > :26:02.Ireland. Flick in towards Lewandowski and it will be a corner.
:26:03. > :26:12.Kamil Glik has, from the back. -- has come up from the back. He finds
:26:13. > :26:18.an opening superbly! Blaszczykowski for Poland in the ninth minute of
:26:19. > :26:24.the second half. Lovely play a beautiful finish. What an impact
:26:25. > :26:34.from the man who came off the bench at the break. A supremely well
:26:35. > :26:48.worked goal. He keeps his head, Blaszczykowski. He is right footed.
:26:49. > :27:01.It has gone right in the far corner. The goal of the highest quality from
:27:02. > :27:04.Blaszczykowski for Poland. We saw enough from Ukraine in the first
:27:05. > :27:11.half at times to know they have the players capable of posing a threat
:27:12. > :27:15.to the Polish defence. Milik in towards Lewandowski. Into the side
:27:16. > :27:40.netting! Kapustka was going to go around.
:27:41. > :27:51.What a great pass. It might have been Lewandowski.
:27:52. > :28:13.Milik, just got his forehead to that. He touched it and think. , I
:28:14. > :28:19.think. Close down by Kamil Glik. Looking for an opening, brings a
:28:20. > :28:24.save from Fabianski who reacts superbly to grab it at second
:28:25. > :28:34.attempt and has probably hurt himself. This is brave. He had to go
:28:35. > :28:41.for the ball. A brave second save. Ukraine nil, Poland one, the final
:28:42. > :28:47.score. Group C finishes like this. Poland
:28:48. > :28:50.narrowly failing to catch Germany. Germany now play a third placed team
:28:51. > :29:00.Poland now play Switzerland in Saint Etienne on Saturday.
:29:01. > :29:08.And Poland the winners with a very good goal from Blaszczykowski.
:29:09. > :29:18.Fantastic strike with his left foot. Defensively, as a manager, setting
:29:19. > :29:35.up from seven keys, it is all wrong. They're both ball watching. But a
:29:36. > :29:42.fantastic finish. Great goal. Straightaway, once it goes where to
:29:43. > :29:50.Milik, one of them comes out and the other picks up Blaszczykowski. The
:29:51. > :29:55.path from Milik is superb. It is easy to see on the screen but had
:29:56. > :30:00.ground level with people coming at you, he has his eyes on it
:30:01. > :30:07.beautifully. While talks are more about Milik, if you want a strike
:30:08. > :30:13.duo or an understanding at least, Milik and Lewandowski have got that.
:30:14. > :30:18.Milik has been a real find in this tournament, for me. An elegant layer
:30:19. > :30:25.and predominately left footed. A good athlete. He had a good shot at
:30:26. > :30:31.goal. He plays in the Number Ten area. I think that he should score.
:30:32. > :30:35.He is a good size and well balanced for a Number Ten. He should have
:30:36. > :30:36.scored against Germany as well full stop he did score against Northern
:30:37. > :30:46.Ireland. Just watch this. He should have scored back but he
:30:47. > :31:04.has got a great record for Ajax. Can they play together? Against
:31:05. > :31:09.Northern Ireland coming he got on the end of a cutback, against
:31:10. > :31:11.Germany again, he has got that appeal of being in the right place
:31:12. > :31:15.in the right time. Onto Group D and defending champions
:31:16. > :31:18.Spain and Croatia were already through but top spot
:31:19. > :31:20.was up for grabs. Your commentator in
:31:21. > :31:34.Bordeaux is Steve Wilson. It is early days but European
:31:35. > :31:40.champions Spain already looking a decent prospect to lift the trophy
:31:41. > :31:44.for the third time in succession. A draw today would win them the group
:31:45. > :31:50.and Croatia need to be wary of losing, that could result in them
:31:51. > :31:56.finishing third. Croatia make five changes, Modric is not playing, he
:31:57. > :32:00.has a groin injury. Spain make no changes, the same XI were starters
:32:01. > :32:05.in the first two games against the Czech Republic and Turkey.
:32:06. > :32:18.Busquets. Fabregas. There could be trouble here. Avid silver, Morata is
:32:19. > :32:25.in the middle. Red Bull by Fabregas and brilliantly found. -- great ball
:32:26. > :32:30.by Fabregas. Spain have scored within seven minutes. I wonder if
:32:31. > :32:40.Morata might not have got the final touch on that. Fabregas had done
:32:41. > :32:50.enough to feed the goalkeeper. Del Bosque absolutely unmoved. A
:32:51. > :32:55.beautifully crafted goal. David Silva whack into Cesc Fabregas. That
:32:56. > :33:08.is going on but it is more after whom made sure. -- more wrapped up
:33:09. > :33:16.who made sure. He joins Gareth Bale on three in this tournament.
:33:17. > :33:32.David Silva's ball in, that wasn't far away from no litre. -- Nolita.
:33:33. > :33:39.Great ball in by David Silva but he doesn't quite get enough on it.
:33:40. > :33:56.And a mistake pounced upon by Rakitic. A good save by the Hayat.
:33:57. > :34:02.-- by de Gea. It was travelling. This is a good spell for Croatia.
:34:03. > :34:09.They have had a few difficulties and Spain are causing themselves a few
:34:10. > :34:15.more. David de Gea is caught by Kalinic. Rakitic. It stayed out.
:34:16. > :34:23.They are attacking with invention but defending really carelessly.
:34:24. > :34:30.David de Gea caught by Kalinic and look about by Rakitic, so unlucky.
:34:31. > :34:43.Could very easily have hit Gerard Pique on the back and gone in.
:34:44. > :35:11.Lovely play, brilliant goal. Fantastic goal by Kalinic. Wonderful
:35:12. > :35:15.goal. Absolute quality. Perisic made it with some lovely football here.
:35:16. > :35:32.What about Kalinic's finish? Great feet from Perisic. Cheeky as
:35:33. > :35:44.you like from Kalinic. Croatia 1-1 Spain.
:35:45. > :35:54.Perisic, lovely swivel of the hips and then he trod on the ball. Did
:35:55. > :36:00.enough to win it back. The cross, David de Gea is coming. Dangerous.
:36:01. > :36:05.The shot is blocked and the overhead is off target. Not hugely so but
:36:06. > :36:13.they could not quite get it on the Spanish goal. Jedvaj hit it and de
:36:14. > :36:25.Gea made himself big. Brilliant little run, what is the
:36:26. > :36:34.referee going to give? Nothing at all. Ramos with the reaction
:36:35. > :36:39.suggesting he was looking for it and I think he probably was right.
:36:40. > :37:01.Busquets let it go. Albert had a go on his right foot.
:37:02. > :37:09.It is a corner. -- Alba. David Silva to take over Spain. A free header.
:37:10. > :37:15.Much closer than that from Sergio Ramos, totally free. A big, gaping
:37:16. > :37:20.space of goal to aim at. If possession is king, let's crown the
:37:21. > :37:27.Spain now but the truth is, the score line is 1-1. Look how much
:37:28. > :37:31.room they are giving Iniesta. David Silva is knocked over and Spain have
:37:32. > :37:40.a penalty. Croatia protest because they feel they might have had one at
:37:41. > :37:46.the other end. The Croatian player knocked David Silva over. Sergio
:37:47. > :37:58.Ramos is to take this. Saved by Subasic. Croatia might feel justice
:37:59. > :38:02.has been done. He is a mile off his line, the goalkeeper. Sergio Ramos
:38:03. > :38:14.went close centre and Subasic saves it.
:38:15. > :38:24.The first touch was good, really good block.
:38:25. > :38:34.Pjaca has made a good run to his right. This is Perisic and he has
:38:35. > :38:44.scored! How about that from Ivan Perisic for Croatia? Brilliant block
:38:45. > :38:53.by Srna and suddenly they were in, Perisic charging away. He has beaten
:38:54. > :39:04.avid de Gea at his near post. -- David de Gea. De Gea's error but
:39:05. > :39:10.taking nothing away from Perisic. There is just there off the toe and
:39:11. > :39:16.that might have done David de Gea. It is 2-1 to Croatia and if it stays
:39:17. > :39:26.like that, it is Spain against Italy in the round of 16.
:39:27. > :39:35.Long from de Gea, flicked on, dangerous, David Silva. Can he
:39:36. > :39:44.wriggle through? Great block. And the whistle goes. And Croatia have
:39:45. > :39:51.won Group D and Spain will face Italy in the round of 16 in a repeat
:39:52. > :40:00.of the final of four years ago. They have come from behind, Croatia, and
:40:01. > :40:07.done so brilliantly. It finishes Croatia 2-1 Spain.
:40:08. > :40:15.You would not have thought Spain would lose the way they began the
:40:16. > :40:20.game. They go a goal up so early in the game and you think, they made a
:40:21. > :40:25.few changes, Croatia, this will be comfortable. It is a typical Spain
:40:26. > :40:30.goal. This is two world-class players in tune with each other.
:40:31. > :40:35.Look at that run and pass. David Silva, the weight of it and timing,
:40:36. > :40:40.Fabregas lift it over the goalkeeper. He gets his third goal
:40:41. > :40:46.of the tournament. This is one of my favourite players, Perisic, of the
:40:47. > :40:50.tournament so far. Look at Kalinic, gambles across Ramos and it is a
:40:51. > :40:56.beautiful finish. Croatia bounce back really well in this game.
:40:57. > :41:00.Probably one of the games of the tournament. Two excellent saves
:41:01. > :41:05.going at it. This is the winning goal, Neil has already mentioned
:41:06. > :41:13.Perisic. Look at the desire. He leaves Juanfran, a great run. The
:41:14. > :41:18.strike at the near post. The goal has come from Perisic, it is a good
:41:19. > :41:23.strike but for me, the goalkeeper should be saving that at his near
:41:24. > :41:26.post. I can see that player has been modelling himself on Neil Lennon!
:41:27. > :41:31.LAUGHTER We will talk a little bit more about
:41:32. > :41:35.Croatia in a minute. Just a couple of penalty instances in the second
:41:36. > :41:41.half. The referee gave one but not the other. Is this a penalty on
:41:42. > :41:51.Pjaca? There were two occasions. I Dodig that was the penalty but then
:41:52. > :41:57.ram sticks his leg out. Just look at Gramoz Kurtaj Mike Leigh, I don't
:41:58. > :42:11.think that is a penalty. -- just look at ram's leg.
:42:12. > :42:19.The assistant referee is there and looking right at him. For me, that
:42:20. > :42:26.is not a penalty. Look at this. Look at where it Subasic is. Three yards
:42:27. > :42:36.out. Four Croatian players in the box. What was he doing? I have no
:42:37. > :42:48.idea! Maybe he thought it wasn't actually a penalty. It is a great
:42:49. > :42:51.save to. Pjaca was excellent, you mentioned that, also Perisic. The
:42:52. > :42:56.other night on the Highland show, we talked about him. He has been
:42:57. > :43:01.sensational in this tournament and he was again tonight. He is
:43:02. > :43:10.beautifully balanced with both feet, really strong. He is an absolute
:43:11. > :43:17.machine. This is a lovely little cross. He does what good strikers
:43:18. > :43:23.do. He is direct, he opens his legs up and he can score. He is an
:43:24. > :43:26.exciting player. That cross is maybe too long but that is what I would
:43:27. > :43:31.see from the winners. He goes all night. The only disappointment for
:43:32. > :43:36.me is he doesn't get a shot off here. He loses it but look, he wants
:43:37. > :43:42.to win it back. Absolutely fantastic. This is roundabout the
:43:43. > :43:46.85th minute. Look at the desire. 70 yards.
:43:47. > :43:53.Just like against the Czech Republic, he hits the target. He
:43:54. > :43:59.gets the winning goal because of sheer desire. A wonderful player.
:44:00. > :44:03.Do you both think they have been the most impressive side in the
:44:04. > :44:07.tournament? Not just by beating Spain but if you take the 20 minutes
:44:08. > :44:11.away when they were obviously affected by their fans were doing,
:44:12. > :44:18.they have played some really good stuff. Tonight as well, they have
:44:19. > :44:22.beat Spain without Mandzukic, Modric in the line-up. They have got
:44:23. > :44:29.Rakitic, so many good players. They could go far in this tournament.
:44:30. > :44:36.They are very exciting, technically, some superb footballers. Defensively
:44:37. > :44:40.good as well. My worry is the goalkeeper, I know he saved a
:44:41. > :44:45.penalty tonight but I am not convinced. The movement, there are
:44:46. > :44:47.attacking a tent, very exciting. They will be a danger in the
:44:48. > :44:49.knockouts. The other two in this group
:44:50. > :44:54.were Czech Republic and Turkey who met in Lens tonight watched
:44:55. > :45:06.by Guy Mowbray. Both teams needed to win to secure a
:45:07. > :45:11.place in the next round. Both teams have to win to make the
:45:12. > :45:17.last 16 and in the case of Turkey it would have to be a big winner. The
:45:18. > :45:30.cheque coach made four changes to the team.
:45:31. > :45:40.Daniel Pudil coming in. And a buzz about Emre Mor who signed for
:45:41. > :45:54.research Dortmund next season and could be the next really big Turkish
:45:55. > :46:05.talent. Last to Emre Mor. There goes the teenager. Great ball Turkey have
:46:06. > :46:11.given themselves a real hope that somehow they can get themselves out
:46:12. > :46:18.of this group. And the creator the teenager Emre Mor. He showed wisdom
:46:19. > :46:30.beyond his years to steady himself before having a look to see
:46:31. > :46:47.where Barak was going to run into. Was that the flag did? The cheque
:46:48. > :46:59.Republic game it was. A significant touch, they get on with it quickly.
:47:00. > :47:26.Off the post. Went in strongly, Doc al. No chance of saving that. Tomas
:47:27. > :47:41.Sivok who met him. Borek Dockal. Cannot finish. Kaderabek. Kaderabek
:47:42. > :47:54.could not arrive in time. Hard watching for the hardy souls of
:47:55. > :48:02.Prague. Here is Plasil. Nearly brought a spectacular equaliser for
:48:03. > :48:14.the Czech Republic. Sweetly struck by Plasil. Turkey have the pace on
:48:15. > :48:23.the break. Emre Mor. He goes on a loan. Should have had a look at the
:48:24. > :48:28.number seven, the Right back, who hurtled forward. And nobody went
:48:29. > :48:34.with him. Emre Mor are confident young man who thought he could do it
:48:35. > :48:35.by himself. You could see him scoring next season in the
:48:36. > :48:57.Bundesliga. A chance now to save. Full credit to
:48:58. > :49:03.the work of Boruc Dockal there. This is so refreshing. Compared to some
:49:04. > :49:07.of the other final group games we have seen. Turkey leading but no
:49:08. > :49:24.thought of protecting it, they need more. That was good running. The
:49:25. > :49:32.whistle has gone. Brought back for a turkey free kick. The assistant
:49:33. > :49:39.referee flagged for offside. The referee, offside would mean no
:49:40. > :50:02.advantage. The late tackle means a free kick. There is a chance. Tufan!
:50:03. > :50:17.And Turkey might just have a shout at 2- nil. Twice given the benefit
:50:18. > :50:20.of the doubt. He kept his cool to tap it back. Petr Cech could not
:50:21. > :50:40.move. Those weeks looked daft when your
:50:41. > :50:58.team is exciting the tournament. -- wigs. Good ball in. Another chance
:50:59. > :51:02.wasted. Could not quite sought his feet out. And Turkey could not find
:51:03. > :51:13.a clear route through to the goal. The Czech Republic could not get the
:51:14. > :51:28.ball away. Skoda. Does get it down to his feet. Forced wide in the
:51:29. > :51:41.first place, bloody murder reader. The goalkeeper will be talked about
:51:42. > :51:48.tonight. An almighty noise around the stadium. Turkey have given
:51:49. > :51:54.themselves just the slightest of chances of making it through to the
:51:55. > :52:00.last 16. The Czech Republic have disappointed and will be on their
:52:01. > :52:05.way home. Czech Republic nil, Turkey two.
:52:06. > :52:11.Spain now play Italy at the Stade De France on Monday.
:52:12. > :52:20.Turkey must wait to see if they will reach the last 16. And we can
:52:21. > :52:26.confirm Northern Ireland have qualified for the last 16. A better
:52:27. > :52:32.record than both Turkey and Albania is a guaranteed to finish and will
:52:33. > :52:37.get either Wales or France. Wales now know they will play Northern
:52:38. > :52:43.Ireland, Turkey or Albania. We will react to Northern Ireland qualifying
:52:44. > :52:47.in a minute. But the refreshing thing about the Turkey game, both
:52:48. > :52:52.sides had something to play for and they went for it which has been
:52:53. > :52:56.lacking in this tournament. It has been lacking in the third round.
:52:57. > :53:05.Turkey had great taste in their team. I love that finish, Yilmaz
:53:06. > :53:10.getting across to defend. That is I think his sixth goal in
:53:11. > :53:16.international. Turkey played with pizzazz and deserved to win. You're
:53:17. > :53:24.right about the competition so far, the third round, teams playing for a
:53:25. > :53:32.draw and that is quite dull. I'm not a big fan of the format. I think it
:53:33. > :53:39.has deluded the quality of it. You may as well have put 32 teams in.
:53:40. > :53:45.There will be discussions over the format I'm sure for the next few
:53:46. > :53:49.years. It is quite convoluted. Just to lighten the mood, to show you
:53:50. > :53:56.that incident with the Turkish goalkeeper. He was all calm and
:53:57. > :54:08.composed until that moment! He looked as if he was going to catch
:54:09. > :54:16.it. Here he comes! Oh, no. He is not happy. Wales will not want to get
:54:17. > :54:22.Turkey. You said Northern Ireland, Turkey or Albania. Personally I
:54:23. > :54:29.would like to play Northern Ireland. Steady! Let's hear from the Northern
:54:30. > :54:35.Ireland manager, after they found out a qualified for the last 16, we
:54:36. > :54:43.spoke to Michael O'Neil. How does that feel to be in the last 16? I'm
:54:44. > :54:52.not sure it has really sunk in but a fantastic achievement. We knew the
:54:53. > :54:56.group was going to be difficult. We knew it was going to be difficult
:54:57. > :55:01.but we did everything possible to stay in the game. And the players
:55:02. > :55:08.got their just rewards. They deserve the opportunity to be in the last
:55:09. > :55:15.16. We will enjoy the experience. And they will be ready to play
:55:16. > :55:26.whoever they get. It could be wales or France, France, they could be in
:55:27. > :55:32.the same house with Spain, Italy. We will just take it one game at a time
:55:33. > :55:37.but what an achievement. He saw the scenes with the Welsh last night in
:55:38. > :55:42.Toulouse. Albeit we lost the game today at fans from both nations are
:55:43. > :55:48.incredible. It has been marvellous. The fact that we are here, after 30
:55:49. > :55:53.odd years, in a major tournament. Michael O'Neil has done a wonderful
:55:54. > :55:55.job. What an achievement for Northern Ireland.
:55:56. > :55:57.Tomorrow night sees the Republic of Ireland face Italy
:55:58. > :56:01.Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane have been giving their thoughts ahead
:56:02. > :56:08.of the match, and it is the usual good cop/bad cop routine.
:56:09. > :56:15.You have got to be streetwise in this game. We're not here to make
:56:16. > :56:20.friends and if you smell danger and think we are in trouble, then yes.
:56:21. > :56:30.You do whatever you can to get the right result. If that is filing,
:56:31. > :56:36.then you do it. It is not a crime. You might get a yellow card, even a
:56:37. > :56:45.red card, but your team might win. You have got to make the sacrifice
:56:46. > :56:52.of your team. Does that answer your question?
:56:53. > :56:58.Lukaku second in the game. If you're not at your best to get punished and
:56:59. > :57:02.we did the other day. Sloppy in possession against Italy, there a
:57:03. > :57:12.good chance it will be the same result.
:57:13. > :57:17.We were inspired by cells, much as we have enjoyed the days that we
:57:18. > :57:22.have been here, we would like to stay a bit longer. To me the Italian
:57:23. > :57:28.teams were favourites to top the group. The players that they have,
:57:29. > :57:31.huge experience, a lot of trophies under their belt and a huge chance
:57:32. > :57:37.for the players, but one we should look forward to. If we win is a
:57:38. > :57:42.decent chance of getting through last 16. The players know what
:57:43. > :57:49.they've got to do and are ready for it. We have beaten Italy before, we
:57:50. > :57:58.will have to be at our very best. It can be done. You do want to argue
:57:59. > :58:02.with them. So Italy against the Republic of Ireland, we will bring
:58:03. > :58:07.you that tomorrow on 5 live from eight o'clock. And also across the
:58:08. > :58:13.other games, Sweden against Belgium. Group F before that, Hungary against
:58:14. > :58:18.Portugal at half past four. Iceland and Austria you can watch on sports
:58:19. > :58:23.website or the red button. And you will be able to see highlights of
:58:24. > :58:25.all those games at ten to 11 on BBC One. Thank you very much to Robbie
:58:26. > :58:27.and Neal. So the group stages reach
:58:28. > :58:29.their conclusion tomorrow but whatever happens we know that
:58:30. > :58:32.Northern Ireland are through to
