Thread: Northern Ireland condemn Italy to the play offs

    Northern Ireland condemn Italy to the play offs

    Switzerland qualify automatically to Qatar.

    Italy blow it with a 0 - 0 draw in Belfast.

    Great effort from NI with Gavin Whyte (he's still ours isn't he?) playing well

    Not great news for us with Portugal blowing it last night as well.

    That Jorginho pelanty miss last minute the other night could have massive repercussions for Italy.

    Didn't Italy have to win by at least 2 goals? We really need something from tomorrow night now.

    Well yes I suppose but had Jorginho scored that pen, the dynamic would have changed for tonight's games and there would have been a lot less pressure on Italy in Belfast.

    It's all conjecture but regardless of what happens tomorrow against Belgium, I'd have much preferred the Swiss in the playoffs to the Italians.

    A draw for us tomorrow and Turkey not winning by four goals gives us a home tie.
