Switzerland are above France due to France not having to play any competitive fixtures, due them them qualifying automatically as hosts, so unless you think friendly matches should count as much as actual competitive games, then surely you can see why the Swiss are ranked ahead of France??

Unfortunately for Poland he has had all 4 of their efforts

One he airshotted a simple bouncing ball from 6 yards, the other he hit closer to the corner flag when rolled to him in the area, one was on target from c 30 yards and the other he shanked over from 6 yards

Great save by McGovern!

Poland creating a few more chances now

Good save, McGovern.

top save... irish box living a charmed life.

Polish shooting has been terrible. Bound to score sometime though.

Oh, I know how it happens, thanks.

They're of a similar enough standard but the Republic possess more of a goalscoring threat in Long and Walters. Had they been playing today, I think they would already have tested the Polish keeper a couple of times and won a few corners.

NI aren't attacking at all. Such terrible tactics.

NI are a joke.

And the co-commentator is excruciatingly bias. Almost getting off on NI having a Mourinho-like bus in front of McGovern's goal

They are sorely lacking creativity in midfield and out on the flanks. But they're very solid and hard working nonetheless.....a difficult team to play against.

"You shall not pass!"

No extra time, thank goodness.

Northern Ireland will be looking for three 0-0's, and so they should.

'NI deserve to win for the way they defended'

Someone will say that. . .

Lots of possession, little end product for Poland.

I understand that Northern Ireland have to play to their defensive strengths but I don't think it'll do the tournament any good for them to basically sit in for three draws in the group stage.

Poland by far the better side in the first half, they'll be disappointed they're not in front.

NI are clearly playing for a point and so far it's job done.

When European Friendlies are abolished in a couple of years it should rectify that quirk

Probably the best defensive display of the tournament so far but offensively very poor from us. Lafferty needs someone else to play off as all his flicks are going nowhere.

Would happily take this scoreline at full time.

Commentators trying hard to polish a visual turd here.

poles should be leading.... irish defending well. if the poles get 1 you can see the floodgates opening.

bit disappointed that the irish have been this negative...

Only in terms of possession and build up though....they haven't really created a load of clear chances, it's not as if the Poles hit the woodwork three times and forced a string of world class saves out of the NI keeper.

10 goals in 5.5 games so far, less than 2 a game on average.

Northern Ireland will play their part in bringing it down.

NI win my award for most boring negative team so far.

Robin Williams as the genie in Aladdin on CH4 is a lot more fun than the half-time analysis
