  2. 'They gave it everything'published at 22:03 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Northern Ireland 0-2 Germany

    Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill on Sky Sports: "They gave everything. First half we were magnificent and should have been ahead in the game. It was a missed opportunity on reflection.

    "We didn't take our chances and we were punished. Maybe Germany lifted it a gear and it was a magnificent goal, albeit preventable. We came again, tried to press the game and we had more good chances.

    "It wasn't to be. We are playing against some of the best players in Europe but we managed to stop them. It's very hard to do that for 90 minutes. They have got very clever players."

  3. 'If I'm greedy I wanted more goals'published at 22:03 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Wales 1-0 Belarus

    Wales boss Ryan Giggs on BBC Radio Wales: "First half I thought we were excellent. It's just that second goal was missing. It was a much improved performance from Friday. If I'm greedy I just wanted more goals.

    "I want us to be ruthless. That could be one of those times we should be winning three or four nil.

    "I was as frustrated as anyone after the Azerbaijan performance. But you have to take things into account. This is a tough group, the teams are so tightly contested it's whoever turns up on the night.

    "We've got two tough games in October [Slovakia away and Croatia at home] and even from this performance we need to improve.

    "Daniel James is one of those players you know what he's going to do but you can't stop it. As a young winger you look to score more goals but he's scoring goals for fun now."

    Wales 1-0 Belarus

    Wales goalscorer Daniel James on BBC Radio Wales: "The goal, I was always going to get opportunities and it was about taking them.

    "It's massive what happens at my club, playing at my club is massive and scoring goals gives confidence to take into international football.

    "Two massive games in October. Azerbaijan's draw with Croatia means the group is wide open now."

    Wales captain Joe Allen on BBC Radio Wales: "It felt better tonight, we were happy to get three points on Friday and we felt we had a better performance in us. We were in control throughout the game. two games and two wins.

    "They were different tests, tonight was maybe more comfortable. These have been important games to build momentum going into next month.

    "Next month's two games are huge for us. We have ground to make up but we're capable of doing it. We'll try and take care of our own business and we're confident that will be enough."

  7. 'Scotland need to grow up'published at 21:50 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    I look at Scotland and I see a very naive team. Players playing at a decent level but at international level they're boys. Not many caps, no international know-how.

    They haven't grown up as an international team, that could take a long time. They were up against a much better team tonight, but also a team with much more caps.

  8. 'The best we have played against Germany'published at 21:48 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Northern Ireland 0-2 Germany

    Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis: "We had a real good tempo and intensity in the first half but in the second half it got stretched. That suited them. Listen they are top quality and we knew it would be tough. That is the best we have played against Germany."

    Conor Washington: "It was a tough shift. They punished us but we let them off the hook in the first half. The first one, he was right on top of me, a half decent save. We gave a great account of ourselves."

  9. No easy games at this levelpublished at 21:44 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Belgium can mathematically secure their place at Euro 2020 with victory at home to San Marino next month.

    Northern Ireland were caught with one player pressing and one not, the leaves you disjointed and that suits the Germans - they pick you off.

    That win for Germany puts them top of Group C on goal difference, with Northern Ireland level on 12 points.

    The Netherlands now have nine after a win in Estonia - but they do have a game in hand.

    The longer the game went the more it suited Germany. There were more gaps to play in. When you get opportunities against a world class team you have to be clinical.

    Scotland 0-4 Belgium

    Scotland have been handed their joint heaviest defeat on home soil in a competitive match. The last time they lost by four goals in a competitive match at Hampden was in 1973.

  14. Postpublished at 21:39 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    On paper you would expect Belgium to beat Scotland and Germany to beat Northern Ireland. And they did.

    But the contrast in performances of the two home nations was huge.

    GOAL - Northern Ireland 0-2 Germanypublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Serge Gnabry (90 mins)

    Killed it.

    He's been excellent in the second half and now the former West Brom flop has finished this off. Kai Havertz plays Serge Gnabry into a huge hole at the back and despite the angle he finds the far corner.
