Northern Ireland 1 - 0 England

It's surprised not only me, but also seemingly the BBC who couldn't bring themselves to state the 1-0 victory instead declaring "N Ireland stun England in Belfast". Who cares, what a result!

Even more so for my good friend Chris who placed a £5 bet on Healy to score in a 1-0 victory making him a sweet £950. It just goes to show that miracles can happen.

What's even funnier is the forums where dejected England fans are calling for Svens resignation. How about you just played badly on the night and were beaten by the better side? When the 110th best team in the world plays the 7th best, formation has little to do with it.

PS YEEEAAAAaaaHHhHHHHH!!!!!!

Well congratulations to all your country men and women, your team played well. Our team led by that silly swede did not. That isn't to detract from the great achievement of Northern Ireland; well done to your friend on his bet!

Well said, that was an amazing result. I couldn't have believed it if someone had told me this morning that Northern Ireland would beat England! :)

Everyone is super pumped in work today. Even people who're not interested in football are talking about it. I think it'll be talked about for quite some time. I've even heard calls about making today a National Holiday heh.
