Not sure they have much option.
I think we're seeing the pattern of the match develop now. Northern Ireland will look to sit back and hit out on the break whilst Poland will look to push up and break down this tough NI side.
NI just inviting the pressure on.

N.I. defending for their lives here.
NI need to wake up, can't been defending that deep. Also was that the George Best song I heard ?

...chant was used by both sets of supporters around the same time.
A truly daunting trio.
Was that the supporters singing the "go on the piss with Georgie Best" song?

Think George Best was Northern Irish before he played for United
Pretty much every Northern Irish player is sitting back at their own third for much of the match. NI need to push up and put some pressure on the Polish back line in order to get some control over the match.
Defending too deep like that is suicidal.
I don't know who created the chant, hence why I said that.

No I agree now. I thought you just meant the initial set up. They are stupidly deep and frankly, I'm wondering what the hell they've been doing in training in preparation for the match based on the opening minutes.
McNair is really struggling in that wide right role that he has. He looks so unfamiliar over there.
EDIT: He seems to have moved into the midfield now. I wonder who'll move to the right to take his place.

Milik started poorly
I should probably know this, but...
Is there a rule that says players have to *walk* back onside from an offside position? I always wonder why they don't hurry up.

Saha in the crowd.
Louis Saha
Saha?
Was thinking about Saha yesterday. Someone mentioned Wes Brown being involved during the 99 season and it reminded me of Saha who was at Newcastle on loan at that time.

Not a bad ball from Ferguson. Why wasn't anyone attacking the near post?
Both games today have been terrible.
5 goals conceded in the last 10 games. They're more daunting than you'd think.
Great tackle, shit ref.
Once again the linesman behind the goal get's it wrong.
Too many crosses for me liking. The Irish know how to defend against such threats.
Six in defense, come on
Hopefully Poland score then NI will have to do something other then parking the bus
This is what Northern Ireland probably want in this match. Backs-to-the-wall defending, crosses from Poland, and set pieces on their end.
Paddy McNair 30-yard screamer in the 88th minute.
You heard it here first, folks.

I dont expect Germany-Ukraine to be the best game of the tournament either.
Shite game so far.
Poland have been poor .
Looks like McNair and McLaughlin have switched roles. McLaughlin is playing more as a right wide midfielder of sorts, whilst McNair is playing as the right wing back now.
Can we stop with the crossing? Too much crossing so far in these games. Where is the passing?
Northern Ireland are shit. Hope they get 4-5 smashed past them
