I thought he skied that 
Northern Ireland gave it all away.
Ah balls
Amazing
shite keeping... shouldve launched himself at the post and take one for the team
I'll not have anybody slag us off - we are a total minnow and we do whatever it takes to try and get a result. You would do exactly the same in our situation.
It's hilarious to see us frustrate much, much bigger countries than us. I absolutely fecking love it. We have 1.5 million people in NI - that's it.
Shame about the last few minutes as we deserved to get the draw but was always going to be a massive ask. If we had hung on that would have been a result we would have talked about for many years.
3-1 Depay
This is a harder loss for Norn Iron than losing 4-0 I think.
After 76th minute the group was looking incredible for them. Now they'll have to hope some other nations mess up and then they might get a play off.

They played decent football against other teams but now there's no other way they could play these games with any kind of success?
This kind of illustrates the fact that parking the bus was a wise move for them.
all but qualified.
As I predicted, easy 3 points. 
Are you seriously asking why a team of Championship and League One players are not playing expansive football away to Netherlands? It's kind of how you guys had to resort to trying to kick Spain off the field in 2010.
There was absolutely nothing else we could do if we hoped to get a result.
You are living in a completely different world that I am in. You expect us to go and play open football in Holland? That would have been suicide. We will play a better brand of football in Belfast.
We Dutch people really like our national team. Dont expect us to be reasonable about this

Belgium San Marino 9-0 
We Northern Irish really like our national team too. It's just like supporting a team like Crawley Town who have to play Premiership opposition every few months. You can't comprehend what it is like.We Dutch people really like our national team. Dont expect us to be reasonable about this
Belgium, king of qualifiers.
Pep ain't the best until he gets San Marino playing total football!Belgium San Marino 9-0
Which way are you shocked? That result is about par.Belgium San Marino 9-0
Your fans are brilliant honestly. Fanatics in a positive sense.
Playing their normal football against a team with exponentially more technical and athletic ability would be suicidal. They’d get torn to bits.
The only way for a bunch of championship/league one level footballers to keep the score down in games like this is to play the way they did tonight. Even then they barely have a prayer because the level is so different.
As was just mentioned a Blackpool player came on. It’s worlds apart in every single respect, and it’s stupidly disrespectful and ignorant to expect them to be able to play attractive football. They are straight up not capable of that against players of this level.
Yeah we are super proud of the team - we are always up against it every single match.
Good game. Was a decent watch but how poor were both de ligt n blind for the northern Ireland goal. Awful defending.
N-I did great. Made us look like shit. Well done to them.
Not open football. I expected counter attacking football. That's still defensive. But your manager started paddy mcnair on the wing and instructed your players to waste time for the entire second half. There's a whole world between what you did and open or expansive football.
I'm from the Republic lad but I'm well aware at how hard N Ireland have it. The Republic are usually up against it and we have 3 times the pick of players they do. They seriously are better off trying to play for a point in games like these (just like ROI would do).
Belgium had 84% possession and 43 shots (16 on target).
Not taking this for granted. Still remember the dark days, like ending 5th out of 8 teams in Euro 08 qualifiers.
Just to disappoint the entire country once again.
That’s gutting for Northern Ireland but I love their determination in spite of their actual ability as footballers. Wish Scotland showed half of their grit and desire. We are hopeless. Something seriously wrong with our National Team.
Iran GOAT
Be interesting to see Mount playing deeper than he has all season, if that formation is right.
BBC Sport on their feed are asking whether England have the best front 3 in international football. They got to be up there that's for sure
Just a shame what's behind them.

I don't think England will be playing a front 3 tonight. 4231 would be my guess.
