Lichtsteiner slips while through on goal. NI escape from a probable goal and a harsh decision because he was offside

He wasn't remotely offside, but no one touched him, so. Yeah.

Unless Northern Ireland improves a lot in the second half, cannot see how they will beat Switzerland in 2 matches.

Never been a fan of Kalinić , still not. That attempt at 4 meters away from goal was poor judgement. He should have known better.
Luka still the best on the pitch. Congratz to coach Dalić for simplifying the tactics.

They are definitely not trying to win this one.
Michael O'Neill approach makes Fernando Santos look like Pepe Guardiola, the only chance they have to score a goal playing like this is from a set piece or a Swiss mistake, they have no chance playing like this in Switzerland.

They will try to win imho, 0-0 at home is great but 1-0 would be massive!

He's a solid striker, nothing more. The best we have right now.

Only from set piece or defensive mistake, in Switzerland playing like this no chance for them, at least if Switzerland plays like they played against us.

This kid both starts and finishes the attack. Looks like a talent, we should be all over him.

Good for him. Give him another season, and if he gets even stronger and basically better, Mourinho should call him back.

Wow what a massive blunder from the ref.. N Ireland completely cheated.

No tv replay for this? He should be awarded by having to watch the world cup from home.

Northern Ireland and Corry Evans in particular have been utter toilet but that's never a penalty, atrocious decision.

Northern Ireland plays too deep.
