Can't wait for Lewandowski.

You learn something new everyday. NI sing the National Anthem.

['Appy 'Ammer]

Yeah, was just talking about this. From my welsh Mrs. "Don't they have their own anthem?" "Like England hasn't got one either".

I'd kick her burst mattress in if I didnt know she was trying to wind me up.

Nice to hear Gerry Armstrong commentating. Did a good job on Sky with Spanish football

It seems nice in Nice. (always wanted to say that). Got the Mexico spider shadows on the pitch. Poland look good.

I won't be surprised if this doesn't finish eleven versus eleven. Evans in particular seems to be seeing how far he can push the ref.

I haven't seen Arkadiusz Milik linked with West Ham yet (perhaps I've just missed it) but he seems like exactly the sort of player we'll end up getting to lead the line next season. I'm a bit biased but I'd love to see a Polish player at West Ham – keep an eye on 19-year-old Bartosz Kapustka who's really good and still at Cracovia and bound to make the step up this summer.

Kapustka has looked very impressive. He's come in for Grosicki hasn't he? Done a great job.

This has Northern Ireland 1-0 written all over it though.

Yeah, drafted in cos of a few injuries but has looked pretty much the most threatening player in that half. Great touch and movement for the shot that was really well saved.

1 nil to the Poles

Unlucky northern Ireland. Played well enough to get a draw, but wasn't to be.

[EvilMonkee]

I am not surprised by the result but disappointed at how negative we were. Feels like the first time in a long time that Michael O'Neill has got it wrong tactically for me. Everyone expected us to sit back and defend and eventually lose, so why not have more of a go? Davis was too far from Lafferty, McLoughlin had a nightmare all game. Should have gone for it more....ah well onto Ukraine

Really?

2 efforts at goal suggests not.
