Northern Ireland were set up to keep Poland out today which was a bit dissappointing as that has not been the way they have competed in recent games. They won't be able to do that against Ukraine.

Agree, there was no need for the Irish to be so cautious. No-one expects them to do much anyway. But I guess because they won their qualifying group, they think they ought to get through to the next round.

It was about Wales, not Poland. I do agree Germany will demolish Poland though.

That Kaputska is some player and only 19. Expecting bids from all over the Premier League and Germany for him.

Yeah, he's pretty good. I don't doubt he will be in the Premier League within a week of Poland getting knocked out
