One-Shot (10/09/09)

It'd be an act of inexplicable cowardice to ignore last night's match, after going on so much about other games. Northern Ireland were beaten 0-2 by Slovakia, a result that effectively ends our chances of qualifying for next year's World Cup in South Africa. Yeah, I'm gutted, but unlike some of my fellow countrymen, I don't believe in going down with a whimper.
