I don´t see past Germany and Poland getting 1st and second places in this group, both winning their games against Ukraine and N.I. They´ll draw their between game.
I´m thinking that Ukraine will get a win against Northern Ireland, finish third and possibly advance.

Germany leads 1-0 against Ukraine after first half. Germany controlling the game slightly, but Ukraine have had a couple of dangerous opportunities.

Pretty standard win for Germany.

A Northern Ireland supporter has died at the Stade de Lyon as he watched the team beat Ukraine at the Euro 2016 tournament in France.

The 62-year-old man, who was from Belfast, is understood to have suffered a heart attack in one of the stands at about 18:00 local time.

Medics tried to resuscitate him inside the stadium but he was later pronounced dead.

He is the second Northern Ireland fan to die in France this week.

Early on Monday morning, 24-year-old Darren Rodgers, from Ballymena in County Antrim, died after a fall from a promenade in Nice.

The incident happened just hours after Northern Ireland's opening game of the tournament against Poland.

Northern Ireland's players wore black armbands during the win over Ukraine in Lyon in memory of Mr Rodgers.

There was also a minute's applause by supporters inside the ground in the 24th minute of the game as a tribute to him.

After the latest death, Supt Nigel Goddard, of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said: "Our thoughts are tragically with a second family this week mourning the devastating loss of their loved one.

"We have been liaising with French authorities and local PSNI officers have been in touch with the man's family in Belfast."

Patrick Nelson, the chief executive of the Irish Football Association, said the man's death during the game "puts any result of a football match into perspective".

"The thoughts of the board, management, players and staff are with his family and friends at this sad time," he added.

John Delaney, the chief executive of the Football Association of Ireland, said the man's death was "a sad outcome to what was a historic day for Northern Irish football".

He added: "We also remember the friends and family of Darren Rodgers, and we would also like to remember Republic of Ireland supporter James Nolan, who died four years ago in Poland, during Euro 2012."

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are working with the local authorities following the death of British national in France on 16 June and providing support to the family at this very sad time."

:/ awful.

[Niamh.]

Brilliant result for N Ireland, they would obviously be my second choice after ROI :hee:

[Calderyon]

Germany and Poland played a scoreless draw giving both of them one point and and a step closer to last 16 round.

Ukraine is most likely out of it now as i cannot see them getting a big win against Poland.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Come on NI

we are all behind you against the Bosch


:fc:

[Calderyon]

N.I will fight valiantly, but in the end Germany will win.

[Calderyon]

Gomez makes it 1-0 for Germany at 30th minute.

[Cherie]

Gomez makes it 1-0 for Germany at 30th minute.


You rain cloud of doom :fist:

[Calderyon]

Sorry :hehe:

But the game has basically been on one goal and i don´t think N.I got many shots at Neuer, so it was destined to happen.

[Calderyon]

Game ends at Northern Ireland 0, Germany 1. Germany tops the group, Poland finishes second and N.I is third and has to wait to other games to end to know if they qualify.
Ukraine finishes last with 0 goals scored and 5 given.

[Crimson Dynamo]

NI fans are a credit to the whole country

:clap1:

[Shaun]

Hope they make it :worry: have already beaten Albania and should beat one of the three to come... hopefully Sweden lose against Belgium.

[Calderyon]

N.I are currently second in the 3rd placers table. So there is hope.

Only one group needs to finish like they want and they are through to the last 16.
