For Sale: 2 Tickets for Northern Ireland vs Spain
After today’s abysmal performance against Iceland I was regretting making my brother wait in the freezing cold from the wee small hours for tickets due to go on sale at IFA HQ this morning for the Spain match on Wednesday night. As it stands, I forked over 35 of my hard earned pounds for tickets and spent 90 minutes today in agony. If that shambles of a match was a preview for Wednesday night, I think I should offload the tickets ASAP.
Going forward Northern Ireland looked decent enough, but the defence deserve to be shot for what can only be described as an embarassment of a performance, particularly in the first half. I got the feeling myself and the 3 lads I was watching the match with could have gone out and put in a better effort in defence.
How a team can beat England and then get such a spanking by Iceland is beyond me. It seems that as always, whenever you expect anything from Northern Ireland they disappoint. Perhaps this situation is the best one to be in: going into the Spain match expecting nothing but another tanking! I guess we’ll see.
