Group B toppers Wales take on Northern Ireland in the round
of 16. It is the first time both the teams have made it to the knockout stages
of a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Wales led by top scorer Gareth
Bale start as favourites. They have played some attractive football and bounced
back nicely against Russia after their defeat to England. Northern Ireland have
punched above their weight and ousted Ukraine. Their defeats at the hands of
higher ranked Germany and Poland have been narrow and playing their neighbors
could be an incentive for this dogged team.
The UK derby will ensure a 'BREXIT' in Euro 2016 as well
