British football is in luck. The four participating teams in the European Championship in France have got into the second round, and at least one will be in the penultimate round of nations. And it is that Wales and Northern Ireland, two debutants countries in the competition, will face this Saturday at the Parc des Princes in Paris for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Therefore, it will be a historic match, as one of the two
will have the opportunity to continue dreaming in French soil. Although the
stakes in this game are more or less balanced, decant favoritism towards the
Welsh side.
Favoritism of Coleman is more than justified. Its good
group stage, but especially the great form of its star, Gareth Bale, gives
reason to trust the continuity of the 'Dragons' in France. The 'Express
Cardiff' is being sensations of this Euro at the individual level. Assuming the
role of star in his team with three goals after the first three games. Many who
have placed him at the head of the list of top scorers in the tournament, tied
with Spanish Alvaro Morata.
Given the sweet moment in the Real Madrid player, it is
logical to be the leading candidate to find the net in mourning this Saturday.
In Northern Ireland will try to enlarge his quest search
through the formula that has brought them this far. Effort, commitment and
effectiveness. Especially the latter, because with only two goals scored have
managed to stand in the second round. Many of these combined led by Michael
O'Neill were signed by McAuley and McGinn in the match against Ukraine.
Nor it is low in your group Northern Ireland coach
Michael O'Neill, who despite knowing that no part of favorite in the duel, does
not give up a surprise and qualify for the quarterfinals.
Despite the geographical and cultural proximity, the two
teams have different approaches.
Northern Ireland, who won the ticket to the second round
with three points, has the strength of your block and avoid getting into the
hands of individuals, where Wales has thrown into the arms of Bale.
O'Neill has not even aligned Wigan player Will Grigg,
although its festive crowd asks him insistently.
