I can't see NI getting more than a point. The Republic play Sweden in their first game, they have to target that one for a win to set themselves up to finish 3rd in the Group and qualify that way. Only 8 teams will go out in the group stages with the 4 best 3rd place teams qualifying, so one win may be enough to see you through.

I think Wales will give England a game but while they are a better Welsh team than we have seen for a while, we know so much about them as players and can plan accordingly.

I know its nothing to do with sport but I am glad Russia were not drawn against Turkey or the Ukraine, the off field stuff would have overshadowed the games!!
