Never let Robbie Savage commentate again, he is unbelievably bad. He slurs his words, he struggles to pronounce words and he struggles to think of any words.

You always had a sense that one moment of quality in a match that had little would decide the match - and so it proved.
Northern Ireland had the best of the match in general but really did nothing with it - and at this stage you need something a little bit more than resoluteness and teamwork. Credit to Chris Coleman on the substitutions which gave Wales more of a footing in that second half which led to the goal. Woeful game of football. |

What must the rest of Europe be thinking watching that match? It was dire.

Poor performance from too many of the welsh players today. No composure or plan how they were going to win.
Despite this we came through against a negative NI side and move on to the last eight of the Euro 2016 championships. (yay )

Cannot think of anything positive to say about that match except I am glad it did not go to extra time.

"Not the Wales we're used to in this tournament..."
Really? That's the Wales I've seen in this tournament, except for maybe the Russia game. |

Wales won't have won over any new fans with a performance like that. Looked a very ordinary side, bar Bale.
You made the point earlier that Wales only had one shot on target but you only need one to score the only goal of a game. |

We struggled as we normally do with being slight favourites today. It's been a pattern of one good display followed by a poor one so far in the tournament for Wales. That continues on Friday then we could get to the semis. |

Unfortunately Bale's quality on its own makes the whole team more than an ordinary side.

Not sure who Wales get in the quarters but whoever it is must be running their hands with glee ... basically stop Bale and you stop Wales.
Northern Ireland did nothing in that last 20 minutes but had played pretty well the rest of the game. |

The Welsh smugness is starting to grate somewhat.

Gareth McAuley will be retiring now - from international football at least. He'll be 38 by the time the next World Cup comes around. What a finish for him.

Both teams rubbish, N.I have never been great and shouldn't really have got gotten this far and I'm from N.I but then Wales have been the same. Both keepers had very little to do.

That'll be Belgium who still have to get past Hungary and we took four points off in the qualifying group.....

Bale is top quality. Made the difference again.

This fixation with Bale is pissing me off.
They must of showed the replay of that free kick 4 times and they were saying great save lol, the keeper could of caught it. |
