Müller should have scored for us!!
We just need Germany to win. We will need to win as well. Goal difference won't matter.
Müller has missed another opportunity to score for us.
There's 1-0 for Germany, and more to come you'd say.
I'd enjoy a win for us over Italy putting us through while denying Northern Ireland at the same time.
So the German-NI score doesn't matter so long as NI lose and we win tomorrow?
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Yes. Albania and the North would both be on 3 points and we'd have 4.
For us yes. Anything but a spanking might still be good enough for NI though. Not sure if that means 2,3 or 4.
Thank you Germany! It's in our hands now! Beat Italy and we're through to the last 16.
Ukraine have been whitewashed. They've lost all 3 of their group games.
So 1-0 for NI was that good for us?
I think is must be as they can only get 3 where and we will never get 4.
Does allow us to live in a state of delusion until then though!
Right so that is definite then?
We would have qualified if we had beaten Italy?
Yes definitely beat Italy and we are definitely into the next round.
Ah right so we won't qualify then!
And the flip side is if we don't beat Italy, the North are almost definitely into the next round (have to have Sweden not beat Belgium as well, but that's quite likely based on the two games so far)
Well, we haven't played them yet, but we will have to see how Martin O Neil and Roy Keane to managed Ireland tomorrow.

Win and in. Happy that it's in our hands, and there won't be any "Ah sure if only X and beaten Y" recriminations.

I'm content that it's in our hands. Some suggested before the tournament that 3 draws might have been enough. They might not be too far off the mark.
In the history of this format, a win and a draw is usually enough. It's proven to be the case again. As I said a few days ago, if we can't win a group game having lost a group game, we'll deserve to be going home.
N. Ireland's loss today was enough to ensure Slovakia qualified as one the best 3rd placed teams. If the Czech Republic fail to beat Turkey in the current live game, N. Ireland will be through tonight.
And the way it is going it is looking more and more like the prize for beating Italy would be a date with France.
I'd say most of us would take that at this moment in time.
It's just frustrating.
We got Bosnia in the playoff for which was probably the worst case.
We were drawn in the toughest group from our point of view getting Italy as a second seed.
And now if we do get through we will be playing France host and second favourites.
Croatia just scored. We need Portugal to lose tomorrow for starters for a chance of them in next round.
