Northern Ireland have not been negative at all in this game. Welsh commentator in the studio is infuriating me saying that we have offered nothing going forward - we have mote than Wales.
I think the argument is that games involving Northern Ireland generally have been really negative, low scoring. But they have every right to play like that IMO.

Northern Ireland are GreeceV2, but what other do you expect them to play?

Wales have been shit.

Wales are a defensive side and normally set up to defend and they're not coping at all with the favourites' tag and having to go on the front foot here.

NI look very comfortable and far more likely to score.

Hope Wales push to attack more in the second half. Haven't been able to do too much in the first half. Northern Ireland playing well and focusing on punishing Bale everytime he gets the ball, which hasn't been much this game. Wales defense looking shaky at times.

Stuart Dallas is dicing with these challenges...

Wales really haven't produced any kind of response to their dreadful first half.

Vokes should have scored!

Wonderful cross from Ramsey.

I wonder if that chance will give Wales some confidence and see Northern Ireland drop back a bit?

That chance from Vokes illustrated the danger for Northern Ireland - namely that Wales have the extra quality to create a chance from nothing even if they're second best in general play.

Bale showing a habit he picked up in Spain.

Brilliant save from McGovern!

Glad that didn't go in because that would have rewarded a cynical piece of play.

Good save by McGovern.

It's getting better by the minute, now.

The Bale free kick isn't so dangerous when faced by a competent 'keeper.

Would have been harsh if Bale had scored that free-kick. He just threw himself over.

Hard to believe Mcgovern doesn't have a club. Good save again

Have Northern Ireland been asking England for set piece advice?

Northern Ireland looking a bit more stretched at the back following the Welsh substitutions.

They're looking a bit tired now. They're not looking to go forward to the sane extent as before.

Williams' introduction has made a difference.
