    It's such a conflicting position to be in....also hoping for Origi to start bt not score, but have a great game.

    yes, same with Bente..... oh maybe not!!

    but definitely Mignolet to start, make 10 fantastic saves, yet still concede 6 goals and get man of the match!

    I think it's the 'head to head'. I.e NI beat Ukraine, so even if NI and Ukraine finish on 3 pts, NI progress.

    Germany and Poland are on four so Ukraine can't catch them. I think head to head matters more than goal difference in determining standings so Northern Ireland, thanks to today's result, can't finish below them, even if they end up level on points.

    If Ukraine beat Poland they are still only on 3 points and lose on the head to head with NI (first way to settle a tiebreaker)

    If Russia win, Wales lose, meaning Wales finish on 3 points, England already have 4.

    Tanx, loveens!

    I said it on this thread the other day, there is a serious amount of late goals in this tournament so far.

    Love it!

    Conte's been awful in this match though, it's a lucky win.

    I'm getting tempted to just skip the first dour 80 minutes of each game and just tune in for the last 10 and all the goals.

    It's handy for those of us working through a lot of the games though. Catch the end, catch all the goals!

    If I'm honest if it wasn't for Norn iron playing in it I wouldn't watch any of the matches. Live footie is pretty boring otherwise. Euros or otherwise.

    Love watching Modric, such a class player. Croatia on a different level here.
    Kenny Cunninghams commentary is on another level too. The level of wreckin my head, slow down Kenny for christsakes

    10 or 12 flares and fireworks being thrown by Croatian fans on the pitch, one hit a steward. Disgraceful stuff.

    How did thst start, seen couple of flares land on the pitch, a steward getblown of his feet, now the Croatians fighting amongst them selves.

    Been quite a messy tournament so far.

    This is gold like. You know you're a dedicated tramp when you fire flares at your own players five minutes from victory and then start attacking your own supporters. Absolutely mental. Theyd the game wrapped up like.

    Croatian fans almost cost their team the game.

    Boneheads.

    Hope the steward is alright. Firework went off just as he went to pick it up, I'm sure he assumed it was a flare.

    Crazy last 15 minutes

    I find it hard to believe they were genuine Croatia supporters.

    some were flares, (I'd say at least 12) and some were bangers!!
    That Steward is lucky to still have all his fingers (if he actually still does).

    Kick them out, along with the Russians. It's not their first time throwing flares during this tournament.

    Supposedly this was done by some sections of Croat support as a 'protest' against how the Croatian football federation and league is being run. Seeing a few tweets from a Balkans political commentator saying this was planned for weeks.
