Highlights: Northern Ireland v Germany, Poland v Ukraine, Spain v Croatia, Czech Republic v Turkey Match of the Day

Good evening - four more games at Euro 2016 today as we get closer

to determining the last 16 at the tournament.

And that is proving to be easier said than done.

As it needs sharp mathematical brains to work it out,

we have booked Robbie Savage and Neil Lennon.

First up, Northern Ireland against Germany with Michael O'Neill's men

taking on the World Champions, knowing that even defeat

would still leave them with a chance of being in the knockout stages.

At the Parc des Princes - Gerry Armstrong and Jonathan Pearce.

From Belfast to Bushmills, they will be hoping, is there anyone left-back

in Northern Ireland? The whole country seems to be here in Paris

singing and above all, believing. As long as they'd avoid defeat by four

goals, they should go through. They will have a crack at the hosts

France if that happens. Michael O'Neill's line-up.

It is all about tenacity and work ethic. Washington was scoring in the

United counties league not so long ago.

Second international for Joshua Kimmich.

Gotze dropping deeper with Draxler added to the bench. Muller, top

scorer in the last two World Cups. Just had one shot on target. Can you

feel 82, can you feel 86? I can't, I felt that at the qualifiers when

they were winning away in Hungary and Greece and I thought this might

be a team that has started to develop. Northern Ireland 22 now in

the world. A lovely ball through to Muller. Good save. Muller still

without a goal in the Championship finals. Steven Davis arriving on the

edge of the box and it is just stolen away from the foot of Conor

Washington. This is the breakthrough, clever first time

pass. You would expect Thomas Muller to do better than that. That has

come through to Ozil and the goalkeeper got it away. Another

chance for Germany. Michael McGovern does William Gay again. -- does

brilliantly again. As a player, the German manager wasn't as successful

as Michael O'Neill. Gotze. It comes out to Kimmich and

he has chipped it. Michael McGovern having the game of his life. Great

opportunity for Gotze and Michael spreads himself and says it with his

legs. If Northern Ireland witness, they will top the group. Take

yourself back to 1982, that is exactly what happened with our side

then. Here is Muller. It goes wide. Good commendation play between the

front two. Chest control from Gotze. You can see his body shape, he would

always drag that one wide. That was well taken, a good

challenge by Ward. He has got Washington on his left but he didn't

need it. Straight into the hands of the goalkeeper. A fabulous run from

Ward but he had the opportunity to feed the ball to Washington. Amazing

sound from the Northern Ireland supporters. They are definitely

winning that one against the German fans.

What a diving header by Muller and it either hit the post or was

brilliantly parried away. Another excellent all into the box from

Kimmich. Off the post. Unlucky, Muller. Look at this from Gareth

McAuley. The Northern Ireland fans. They are certainly not overawed. I

know they were disappointed with the way they played in the opening game.

They did not feel they gave everything they had against Poland,

they started tentatively in a major Championship after so long. Couldn't

agree more. Certainly they have more than made up for that now. Mesut

Ozil for Germany. Gomez. Back to Gomez. Germany are in. 25 minutes

gone and they needed that breakthrough. The build-up is good

and again, Mesut Ozil let that pass through, lovely one touch. The

goalkeeper clears the first time ball and they stick it in the back.

Craig Cathcart comes across. The ball takes a deflection.

Northern Ireland have not conceded more than one goal in the last 15

internationals. If they lose by this margin or another, they could well

still be there and I think they will be there as one of the best third

placed teams. Gotze pulls it back. Muller, off the

bar. Twice he has been denied by the wood work. The ball is cut back and

it is a super strike. Thomas Muller is a little unlucky. Michael must be

thinking about changing and I know he has players warming up. Five

minutes left in the half. Ozil breaking into the line and that

should have been two Gomez. Mesut Ozil again does really well, commits

defenders, slot it into his path and he scuffs it.

A lovely ball by Kimmich, saw the run of Gotze, terrific all keeping

again by Michael McGovern. Saving Northern Ireland. But here is

Muller. What the a game of the goalkeeper has had. Absolutely top

drawer. Sami Khedira, it is Ozil and it is Gotze and it is wide. Gotze

was at the near post, another good opportunity and they should have

scored. This is a fabulous ball. Michael McGovern stretches himself

to prevent Mario Gotze. Kroos, stick with Schurrle. Davis, Washington

ahead of him, Evans trying to come in. It was stolen off him by Mesut

Ozil who has been outstanding for Germany. Unlucky, what a fantastic

brand that was. Whatever happens, they will have a party. They are

having a party! Khedira. And it is still Khedira. He shoots, good saved

by the goalkeeper, just wide on the rebound. Gomez has missed some

chances. Mario Bilate should have scored. Another good save from

Michael McGovern and the opportunity goes begging.

A clever ball. That is what you want, a one-on-one situation. It is

a corner kick, an opportunity for a good ball situation where Northern

Ireland can bring some of their taller players forward. In comes the

corner and another dangerous set piece. Jonny Evans rising. This is

what I said they are good at, good set pieces and good delivery. Jonny

Evans gets up really well here, jumps very well against Mario Gomez.

Mesut Ozil finding space. Schweinsteiger through a wall of

green. Kimmich did well. Get across into the back post, looking for

Gomez and again, pushed away by McGovern. What a fabulous save from

Michael McGovern. Great ball into the box as well. Mario Gavranovic

towers above him at the far post and get up really well. His head was

down and the left hand, brilliant save from Michael McGovern. I have

not seen any goalkeeper make as many saves as Michael McGovern has today.

Hector is in a central position. Ozil comes inside. Worth the effort.

Just keep it low. Really pushing further power. Kyle Lafferty on the

Borno. I'm not sure how impressed the German media will be with this.

The last 15 seconds of stoppage time. Listen to the Northern Ireland

fans. The order of the day is Michael McGovern, sticking this one

forward. Everyone has gone forward now. Craig Cathcart, Jonny Evans,

all up there. Trying to make legends of yourself. WHISTLE

Not today. Northern Ireland beaten by the world champions. Gomez with

the only goal of the game to beat Michael O'Neill's side. Have they

done enough to go through as one of the best third placed teams? We will

have to wait and see. The Northern Ireland fans truly memorable but

Germany the winners, Gomez goal. How proud are you that Northern Ireland

performance that you were able to the score to 2- -- 1-0? Time will

tell. We will know within 48 hours if we are good enough to go through

and we will be disappointed if not. We knew the game was going to be the

way it was, we are playing against the best team in the world. We knew

it would be tough. The chances they had, looking at the defending and

Michael McGovern's performance, it was immense. We stayed in the game

and that was our true spirit. It was mentally very hard and we were under

a lot of pressure and even when they scored, we knew every goal was

crucial with goal difference and so we wanted to keep it to one and

maybe get an equaliser. It was important to keep the score down.

They will champions. Every player gave everything they had. Everyone

is shattered and really tired. Michael McGovern was unbelievable

tonight. We gave him a round of applause when he came in,

unbelievable. It is a situation, not signed Tony Clubb, every

performance, will have a massive say where I will end up in the future. I

think there will be a few decent offers for him and a few knocks on

the door and no better guys deserves it than Mickey. A word for the

Northern Ireland support today? It was truly amazing from start to

finish! Even when we were warming up, you could see the lads with big

smiles on their faces, listening to them all. I hope they enjoyed the

game. Regardless of the result. We said, we lose the game, we used it

1-0 and that is the best result we could have had and we have done

that. It was tough to cause the players are playing against the best

there is and to come away with a 1-0 defeat, there is no shame in that.

How impressed were you by Northern Ireland today and their goalkeeper

in particular? You can hear their fans, their supporters right now,

they are really happy about their performance. I have great respect of

the team, they plate like a team, very compact. It is not easy to play

against them. We gave everything. We just kept going and digging in and

to be fair, the fans were unbelievable today. They sang for 90

plus minutes and inspired us to keep going, in the latter stages we knew

and we know that goal difference can play a part.

They deserved the opportunity to go to the round of 16. That is what

this experience is all about. Lads playing in the Football League play

against some of the best players in the world. We want the experience to

continue. Some people might have avoided the results to save

themselves for this show. Unlikely, but we will not give it away.

Whether they're through or not, how much have they surprised you at this

tournament? They have not. I expected the performance I have

seen. Top of the group in qualification and winning

comfortably in the end. The mentality all the way through was

fantastic. What was disappointing was the performance against Poland

because they are capable of better. They rectified that with that

performance against the Ukraine. We expected the goal, and a defeat to

Germany like that probably the best they could have four. A standing

ovation for Michael McGovern in the dressing room after the game. He was

sensational and the kind of performance that could change his

career as Kyle Lafferty said. He plays for Hamilton Academicals, I

remember in the qualifying campaign when he dropped the ball against

Hungary, Kyle Lafferty got him out of jail in that game and today he

produced a performance that was magnificent. Unbelievable

performance. He put himself in the shop window. He comes out and makes

himself big and blocks it brilliantly. A bit of a sore one,

but he got up! He knew what was coming! I have known Michael for

years, he was a young kid at Celtic, did not make the grade there and

went on to have a successful career in the lower leagues in Scotland.

Now he is in the shop window and has made the most of that today. You

know how the transfer market works, he will already be on the radar of

some clubs. It was a magnificent save. Jansson Lehman was here today

and could not believe it, he was overawed by his performance. He

asked if he could speak German! And said you should learn because a few

clubs today will be looking at him. It is not just from the Scottish or

English market, you're looking at the European market who will now be

looking at him. To pull off a save against Germany as well, so many

fantastic players. Brave, made himself big and all kinds of saves

as well. Is he good enough for the Premier League but among time will

tell. It is all about the Premier League! Lets go onto that goal from

Thomas Muller. They had been knocking on the door for a while and

he and Mesut Ozil get together. Beautiful from Gomez. Muller keeps

his composure. And slams the din with the aid of a deflection. We

could have been three or four down at that stage. So no more than

Germany deserved. The Gomez goal of course, Moller with the assist, they

worked as a dual in this game quite a bit. And Germany had great centre

forward in the past but they have experimented. And with Gomez back

they had a target man. Speaking to people in the German game, the

concept of how Germany play, for years they have had ruthless

strikers. It is midfield runners, white men coming in off the line and

most of the chances for to the likes of Muller, Mesut Ozil, Gotze. They

have one striker and nothing coming up next. There are no spring

chicken. They do not have this conveyor belt as you would expect.

Add this tournament I'm seeing the out and out striker on his way out.

What do you think? It is the formation, it seems to have gone out

the window and they're playing different style. If you look at

England at the minute, how many strikers they have got, Daniel

Sturridge, Marcus Rashford, they tend to play out wide as well. I

have watched the games, and even with friends, the central striker

and three, he is isolated, he does not get involved. All the good play

is coming from wider areas, as we saw with France. Coaches always told

me you live and die from your centre forwards. So the game is changing.

Is the out and out striker on his way out? With Wales the goals coming

from Ramsey, Sam Vokes occupying the centre have well but you might have

a point. England there is no support, the Lone striker on his

own. So with Germany winning,

Poland would have to rack up the goals against Ukraine

to overtake them at Watching this one Mark Lawrenson

and Simon Brotherton. These two nations with the co-hosts

four years ago. Both went out in the group stage. It is more of the same

for the Ukraine but Poland unbeaten and on the verge of reaching the

knockout stages for the first time ever. Not surprisingly given the

disappointing performance so far, the Ukraine line-up shows five

changes. Ruslan Rotan features. Zozulya leads the attack. Poland

have made four changes to the team that drew with Germany the other

night in Paris. Fabianski keeping his place in goal

today for Poland. Here comes Milik now with Lewandowski alongside him.

Trying to go through the goalkeeper there. Milik. Into Robert

Lewandowski. Great chance, wonderful opportunity spurned. I think you

made that opportunity more difficult for himself, letting it, crosses

body. -- letting it come across his body. Zozulya beaten to it. A nice

touch and a chance for Ukraine. Tumbling wide of the goal. Much to

the frustration of Yarmolenko. He knows he is capable of better than

that. The goalkeeper waiting, assessing the situation, Fabianski,

then rushing out really quickly. Robert Lewandowski, beautifully

taken, create the chance. Of all his chances, he did brilliantly there.

Down from Zinchenko. Yellow shirts flooding forward. All hands on deck

for Poland. Fabianski had that covered. Only just.

It has been a long road back from injury for Blaszczykowski. He has

never been the same since that cruciate injury. Other good chance

for Zinchenko. Just get a bit too much on it.

Now Blaszczykowski. Just nudged over by Ruslan rotten. Poland the top

scores in qualifying. 30 goals in the qualifiers but struggling to

find the back of the net here. Just that one goal against Northern

Ireland. Flick in towards Lewandowski and it will be a corner.

Kamil Glik has, from the back. -- has come up from the back. He finds

an opening superbly! Blaszczykowski for Poland in the ninth minute of

the second half. Lovely play a beautiful finish. What an impact

from the man who came off the bench at the break. A supremely well

worked goal. He keeps his head, Blaszczykowski. He is right footed.

It has gone right in the far corner. The goal of the highest quality from

Blaszczykowski for Poland. We saw enough from Ukraine in the first

half at times to know they have the players capable of posing a threat

to the Polish defence. Milik in towards Lewandowski. Into the side

netting! Kapustka was going to go around.

What a great pass. It might have been Lewandowski.

Milik, just got his forehead to that. He touched it and think. , I

think. Close down by Kamil Glik. Looking for an opening, brings a

save from Fabianski who reacts superbly to grab it at second

attempt and has probably hurt himself. This is brave. He had to go

for the ball. A brave second save. Ukraine nil, Poland one, the final

score. Group C finishes like this. Poland

narrowly failing to catch Germany. Germany now play a third placed team

Poland now play Switzerland in Saint Etienne on Saturday.

And Poland the winners with a very good goal from Blaszczykowski.

Fantastic strike with his left foot. Defensively, as a manager, setting

up from seven keys, it is all wrong. They're both ball watching. But a

fantastic finish. Great goal. Straightaway, once it goes where to

Milik, one of them comes out and the other picks up Blaszczykowski. The

path from Milik is superb. It is easy to see on the screen but had

ground level with people coming at you, he has his eyes on it

beautifully. While talks are more about Milik, if you want a strike

duo or an understanding at least, Milik and Lewandowski have got that.

Milik has been a real find in this tournament, for me. An elegant layer

and predominately left footed. A good athlete. He had a good shot at

goal. He plays in the Number Ten area. I think that he should score.

He is a good size and well balanced for a Number Ten. He should have

scored against Germany as well full stop he did score against Northern

Ireland. Just watch this. He should have scored back but he

has got a great record for Ajax. Can they play together? Against

Northern Ireland coming he got on the end of a cutback, against

Germany again, he has got that appeal of being in the right place

in the right time. Onto Group D and defending champions

Spain and Croatia were already through but top spot

was up for grabs. Your commentator in

Bordeaux is Steve Wilson. It is early days but European

champions Spain already looking a decent prospect to lift the trophy

for the third time in succession. A draw today would win them the group

and Croatia need to be wary of losing, that could result in them

finishing third. Croatia make five changes, Modric is not playing, he

has a groin injury. Spain make no changes, the same XI were starters

in the first two games against the Czech Republic and Turkey.

Busquets. Fabregas. There could be trouble here. Avid silver, Morata is

in the middle. Red Bull by Fabregas and brilliantly found. -- great ball

by Fabregas. Spain have scored within seven minutes. I wonder if

Morata might not have got the final touch on that. Fabregas had done

enough to feed the goalkeeper. Del Bosque absolutely unmoved. A

beautifully crafted goal. David Silva whack into Cesc Fabregas. That

is going on but it is more after whom made sure. -- more wrapped up

who made sure. He joins Gareth Bale on three in this tournament.

David Silva's ball in, that wasn't far away from no litre. -- Nolita.

Great ball in by David Silva but he doesn't quite get enough on it.

And a mistake pounced upon by Rakitic. A good save by the Hayat.

-- by de Gea. It was travelling. This is a good spell for Croatia.

They have had a few difficulties and Spain are causing themselves a few

more. David de Gea is caught by Kalinic. Rakitic. It stayed out.

They are attacking with invention but defending really carelessly.

David de Gea caught by Kalinic and look about by Rakitic, so unlucky.

Could very easily have hit Gerard Pique on the back and gone in.

Lovely play, brilliant goal. Fantastic goal by Kalinic. Wonderful

goal. Absolute quality. Perisic made it with some lovely football here.

What about Kalinic's finish? Great feet from Perisic. Cheeky as

you like from Kalinic. Croatia 1-1 Spain.

Perisic, lovely swivel of the hips and then he trod on the ball. Did

enough to win it back. The cross, David de Gea is coming. Dangerous.

The shot is blocked and the overhead is off target. Not hugely so but

they could not quite get it on the Spanish goal. Jedvaj hit it and de

Gea made himself big. Brilliant little run, what is the

referee going to give? Nothing at all. Ramos with the reaction

suggesting he was looking for it and I think he probably was right.

Busquets let it go. Albert had a go on his right foot.

It is a corner. -- Alba. David Silva to take over Spain. A free header.

Much closer than that from Sergio Ramos, totally free. A big, gaping

space of goal to aim at. If possession is king, let's crown the

Spain now but the truth is, the score line is 1-1. Look how much

room they are giving Iniesta. David Silva is knocked over and Spain have

a penalty. Croatia protest because they feel they might have had one at

the other end. The Croatian player knocked David Silva over. Sergio

Ramos is to take this. Saved by Subasic. Croatia might feel justice

has been done. He is a mile off his line, the goalkeeper. Sergio Ramos

went close centre and Subasic saves it.

The first touch was good, really good block.

Pjaca has made a good run to his right. This is Perisic and he has

scored! How about that from Ivan Perisic for Croatia? Brilliant block

by Srna and suddenly they were in, Perisic charging away. He has beaten

avid de Gea at his near post. -- David de Gea. De Gea's error but

taking nothing away from Perisic. There is just there off the toe and

that might have done David de Gea. It is 2-1 to Croatia and if it stays

like that, it is Spain against Italy in the round of 16.

Long from de Gea, flicked on, dangerous, David Silva. Can he

wriggle through? Great block. And the whistle goes. And Croatia have

won Group D and Spain will face Italy in the round of 16 in a repeat

of the final of four years ago. They have come from behind, Croatia, and

done so brilliantly. It finishes Croatia 2-1 Spain.

You would not have thought Spain would lose the way they began the

game. They go a goal up so early in the game and you think, they made a

few changes, Croatia, this will be comfortable. It is a typical Spain

goal. This is two world-class players in tune with each other.

Look at that run and pass. David Silva, the weight of it and timing,

Fabregas lift it over the goalkeeper. He gets his third goal

of the tournament. This is one of my favourite players, Perisic, of the

tournament so far. Look at Kalinic, gambles across Ramos and it is a

beautiful finish. Croatia bounce back really well in this game.

Probably one of the games of the tournament. Two excellent saves

going at it. This is the winning goal, Neil has already mentioned

Perisic. Look at the desire. He leaves Juanfran, a great run. The

strike at the near post. The goal has come from Perisic, it is a good

strike but for me, the goalkeeper should be saving that at his near

post. I can see that player has been modelling himself on Neil Lennon!

LAUGHTER We will talk a little bit more about

Croatia in a minute. Just a couple of penalty instances in the second

half. The referee gave one but not the other. Is this a penalty on

Pjaca? There were two occasions. I Dodig that was the penalty but then

ram sticks his leg out. Just look at Gramoz Kurtaj Mike Leigh, I don't

think that is a penalty. -- just look at ram's leg.

The assistant referee is there and looking right at him. For me, that

is not a penalty. Look at this. Look at where it Subasic is. Three yards

out. Four Croatian players in the box. What was he doing? I have no

idea! Maybe he thought it wasn't actually a penalty. It is a great

save to. Pjaca was excellent, you mentioned that, also Perisic. The

other night on the Highland show, we talked about him. He has been

sensational in this tournament and he was again tonight. He is

beautifully balanced with both feet, really strong. He is an absolute

machine. This is a lovely little cross. He does what good strikers

do. He is direct, he opens his legs up and he can score. He is an

exciting player. That cross is maybe too long but that is what I would

see from the winners. He goes all night. The only disappointment for

me is he doesn't get a shot off here. He loses it but look, he wants

to win it back. Absolutely fantastic. This is roundabout the

85th minute. Look at the desire. 70 yards.

Just like against the Czech Republic, he hits the target. He

gets the winning goal because of sheer desire. A wonderful player.

Do you both think they have been the most impressive side in the

tournament? Not just by beating Spain but if you take the 20 minutes

away when they were obviously affected by their fans were doing,

they have played some really good stuff. Tonight as well, they have

beat Spain without Mandzukic, Modric in the line-up. They have got

Rakitic, so many good players. They could go far in this tournament.

They are very exciting, technically, some superb footballers. Defensively

good as well. My worry is the goalkeeper, I know he saved a

penalty tonight but I am not convinced. The movement, there are

attacking a tent, very exciting. They will be a danger in the

knockouts. The other two in this group

were Czech Republic and Turkey who met in Lens tonight watched

by Guy Mowbray. Both teams needed to win to secure a

place in the next round. Both teams have to win to make the

last 16 and in the case of Turkey it would have to be a big winner. The

cheque coach made four changes to the team.

Daniel Pudil coming in. And a buzz about Emre Mor who signed for

research Dortmund next season and could be the next really big Turkish

talent. Last to Emre Mor. There goes the teenager. Great ball Turkey have

given themselves a real hope that somehow they can get themselves out

of this group. And the creator the teenager Emre Mor. He showed wisdom

beyond his years to steady himself before having a look to see

where Barak was going to run into. Was that the flag did? The cheque

Republic game it was. A significant touch, they get on with it quickly.

Off the post. Went in strongly, Doc al. No chance of saving that. Tomas

Sivok who met him. Borek Dockal. Cannot finish. Kaderabek. Kaderabek

could not arrive in time. Hard watching for the hardy souls of

Prague. Here is Plasil. Nearly brought a spectacular equaliser for

the Czech Republic. Sweetly struck by Plasil. Turkey have the pace on

the break. Emre Mor. He goes on a loan. Should have had a look at the

number seven, the Right back, who hurtled forward. And nobody went

with him. Emre Mor are confident young man who thought he could do it

by himself. You could see him scoring next season in the

Bundesliga. A chance now to save. Full credit to

the work of Boruc Dockal there. This is so refreshing. Compared to some

of the other final group games we have seen. Turkey leading but no

thought of protecting it, they need more. That was good running. The

whistle has gone. Brought back for a turkey free kick. The assistant

referee flagged for offside. The referee, offside would mean no

advantage. The late tackle means a free kick. There is a chance. Tufan!

And Turkey might just have a shout at 2- nil. Twice given the benefit

of the doubt. He kept his cool to tap it back. Petr Cech could not

move. Those weeks looked daft when your

team is exciting the tournament. -- wigs. Good ball in. Another chance

wasted. Could not quite sought his feet out. And Turkey could not find

a clear route through to the goal. The Czech Republic could not get the

ball away. Skoda. Does get it down to his feet. Forced wide in the

first place, bloody murder reader. The goalkeeper will be talked about

tonight. An almighty noise around the stadium. Turkey have given

themselves just the slightest of chances of making it through to the

last 16. The Czech Republic have disappointed and will be on their

way home. Czech Republic nil, Turkey two.

Spain now play Italy at the Stade De France on Monday.

Turkey must wait to see if they will reach the last 16. And we can

confirm Northern Ireland have qualified for the last 16. A better

record than both Turkey and Albania is a guaranteed to finish and will

get either Wales or France. Wales now know they will play Northern

Ireland, Turkey or Albania. We will react to Northern Ireland qualifying

in a minute. But the refreshing thing about the Turkey game, both

sides had something to play for and they went for it which has been

lacking in this tournament. It has been lacking in the third round.

Turkey had great taste in their team. I love that finish, Yilmaz

getting across to defend. That is I think his sixth goal in

international. Turkey played with pizzazz and deserved to win. You're

right about the competition so far, the third round, teams playing for a

draw and that is quite dull. I'm not a big fan of the format. I think it

has deluded the quality of it. You may as well have put 32 teams in.

There will be discussions over the format I'm sure for the next few

years. It is quite convoluted. Just to lighten the mood, to show you

that incident with the Turkish goalkeeper. He was all calm and

composed until that moment! He looked as if he was going to catch

it. Here he comes! Oh, no. He is not happy. Wales will not want to get

Turkey. You said Northern Ireland, Turkey or Albania. Personally I

would like to play Northern Ireland. Steady! Let's hear from the Northern

Ireland manager, after they found out a qualified for the last 16, we

spoke to Michael O'Neil. How does that feel to be in the last 16? I'm

not sure it has really sunk in but a fantastic achievement. We knew the

group was going to be difficult. We knew it was going to be difficult

but we did everything possible to stay in the game. And the players

got their just rewards. They deserve the opportunity to be in the last

16. We will enjoy the experience. And they will be ready to play

whoever they get. It could be wales or France, France, they could be in

the same house with Spain, Italy. We will just take it one game at a time

but what an achievement. He saw the scenes with the Welsh last night in

Toulouse. Albeit we lost the game today at fans from both nations are

incredible. It has been marvellous. The fact that we are here, after 30

odd years, in a major tournament. Michael O'Neil has done a wonderful

job. What an achievement for Northern Ireland.

Tomorrow night sees the Republic of Ireland face Italy

Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane have been giving their thoughts ahead

of the match, and it is the usual good cop/bad cop routine.

You have got to be streetwise in this game. We're not here to make

friends and if you smell danger and think we are in trouble, then yes.

You do whatever you can to get the right result. If that is filing,

then you do it. It is not a crime. You might get a yellow card, even a

red card, but your team might win. You have got to make the sacrifice

of your team. Does that answer your question?

Lukaku second in the game. If you're not at your best to get punished and

we did the other day. Sloppy in possession against Italy, there a

good chance it will be the same result.

We were inspired by cells, much as we have enjoyed the days that we

have been here, we would like to stay a bit longer. To me the Italian

teams were favourites to top the group. The players that they have,

huge experience, a lot of trophies under their belt and a huge chance

for the players, but one we should look forward to. If we win is a

decent chance of getting through last 16. The players know what

they've got to do and are ready for it. We have beaten Italy before, we

will have to be at our very best. It can be done. You do want to argue

with them. So Italy against the Republic of Ireland, we will bring

you that tomorrow on 5 live from eight o'clock. And also across the

other games, Sweden against Belgium. Group F before that, Hungary against

Portugal at half past four. Iceland and Austria you can watch on sports

website or the red button. And you will be able to see highlights of

all those games at ten to 11 on BBC One. Thank you very much to Robbie

and Neal. So the group stages reach

their conclusion tomorrow but whatever happens we know that

Northern Ireland are through to
