Spain 1 - 0 Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland were left to reflect on what might have been as their EURO 2008 qualifying campaign finally ran out of steam against Spain tonight. Despite having won 5 out of 6 home games after recovering from a nightmare start against Iceland, and earning credible draws away to Denmark and Sweden, our failure to pick up even a point in an away double header against Latvia and Iceland in September, left us having not only to beat Spain tonight, but to rely on Latvija turning over Sweden.
