EURO 2016: A 2-0 win and the Green and White Army suddenly in contention



An important win recorded today at Lyon when the brave boys of North Ireland did the ultimate feat of getting their first win of the tourney, rolling over a modest Ukrainian National Team. With a convincing 2-0 score, all of a sudden the Norn Iron is third with three points, just one behind the first place squads of Germany and Poland.

With a match pending against the World Champions Germany, the Green and White Army can do more than history and an all-around feat if they defeat the German Eagles or draw. Alongside of luck being on their side, possible the Ukrainians can do the ultimate of miracles by upsetting Poland, you never know.

For now, they just need to focus in tier next match and all around challenge to try to seal their pass into the next rounds, and although they state that, the best third place squads can advance into the next rounds. In The Case Of Manager Michael O’ Neill, getting a direct pass will be a feat like no other for him and his Boys.

In today’s match, we saw a hungry and determined Norn Iron trying its best of getting a positive result alongside of getting the win at whatever cost, something that this squad put in evidence of tier might and ambition to net its first three points in the tourney.

This time the Green and White Army Boss did the right moves and risked everything for this moment, as in their opening match the Irish showed off a very defensive formation and this time a 4-3-3 with an attacking initial eleven all afternoon long. 

Manager Michael O’ Neill saw the fruits of his labor giving him positive results and opening an opportunity for his squad continuance in this edition of EURO.

As the heroes of the match were Gareth Mc Auley scoring the first goal in the 49th minute of the second half and seeing how a belligerent and stubborn Ukrainian side dominance of the ball and insistence over the posts of Michael Mc Govern. The backfield of the Northern Boys did it with style and stopping their rival’s cold in their tracks for a meritorious win and clean sheet.

Very well, in the 96th minute when a substitute in Niall Mc Guinn put the icing on the cake and with his score sealed the deal for the Norn Iron Boys and netting a win that makes this squad continue in their fight and once again see a fairytale unravel.

Today’s match showed off a very hardened North Ireland squad as well its Boss making all the right moves in his lineup that paid off at its end. Very well, one that defied the not only the opposite initial eleven but the elements when the match called off by a storm of lighting and hail.

Still when the game resumed the Ireland Boys keep on pressing and playing like there was no tomorrow filled with plenty of heroics and showing off what teamwork is, a very raucous win and one that puts this squad in contention. 

As jubilation reigned all over the Norn Iron bench, still the prospects of their next compromise will be put in evidence the way and momentum this squad is filled with, very well going to seal their pass will be a one tough and accomplishment to fulfill.

To play against Joachim Low German National squad, seen in today’s match as lacking a target in its strikers, anything can happen for the Green and White Army in doing the ultimate of upsets in the history of the EURO.
