Euro 2016: Northern Ireland Win Place In Last 16
Northern Ireland have won a place in the last 16 in Euro 2016, despite being beaten 1-0 by world champions Germany.
They will now play either Wales on Saturday, 25 June, or France on Sunday, 26 June, for a place in the last eight.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill said: "Let's be honest, we were playing the best team in the world internationally and we knew it would be very, very difficult.
"I thought we started the game quite well, although we conceded opportunities and Michael had to make three great saves for us early in the game. I think it knocked our confidence a little bit, we got penned in a little bit.
"They're brilliant at penning you in, they move the ball so quickly across the midfield and their players are so intelligent with their movement. But you know, having gone behind in the game we stuck at it, and I thought in the second half we were better and we pressed the game a bit better."
