European Championship 16, Round of 16 (second round) Wales v Northern Ireland Parc Des Princes, Paris 17.00 (18.00 French Time) Saturday 25th June 2016 How the Stadium looks without the roof Euro 2016: Wales & Northern Ireland 'have belief to win tournament' Wales and Northern Ireland both have the belief they can win Euro 2016, according to their respective forwards Gareth Bale and Kyle Lafferty. The two sides meet in the last 16 of the tournament on Saturday (17:00 BST). Real Madrid's Bale, 26, and 28-year-old Lafferty, who plays for Norwich, both scored seven goals in qualifying. Bale said Wales' "ultimate goal" is to win the Euros, while Lafferty said he believed Northern Ireland "can go all the way" in France.
They are in the opposite side of the draw to England, current world champions Germany, reigning European champions Spain, four-time World Cup winners Italy and hosts France. "Obviously you come to the tournament for one reason - to win, not to play three games and go home," said Bale, who is Euro 2016's joint top-scorer with three goals in the group stage. "The ultimate goal is we want to try and win the tournament "It's a cliche but we'll take each one as it comes. Yes, we would love to win it, but all our focus now is on Northern Ireland." Lafferty, who is yet to score at the tournament, said: "We honestly believe with our heart and determination that we can beat anyone. "With the squad we have I honestly am sitting here thinking we can go all the way. If we get a bit of luck we can upset a few teams. "Stopping Bale is the big question. He's a very big part of their team as a player of that calibre is going to be. We'll look at areas where they are strong and areas that we can exploit. "It'll be interesting to see who it wants it most on Saturday. I believe we'll come out on top."'Similar team spirit'
Prior to their defeat by England in the group stage, Bale suggested Wales had "more passion and pride" than Roy Hodgson's side - and the two-times Champions League winner thinks his team have more in common with Saturday's opponents. "They topped their [qualifying] group, you don't do that by mistake," said Bale. "They have very similar team spirit to us. They are a bit more defensive than us -it will be difficult to break them down, but we will try our best."
Meet the Referee - The Premier League Referee Martin Atkinson Martin Atkinson will referee the Euro 2016 last-16 match between Wales and Northern Ireland, UEFA has announced. Fellow Englishmen Michael Mullarkey and Stephen Child will be the assistant referees for Saturday's home nations clash at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Atkinson, who refereed last season's Capital One Cup final and the 2015 Europa League final, took charge of the 3-3 thriller between Hungary and Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday. The Bradford-born referee also presided over Germany's Group C opener against Ukraine. Possible Side and Formation
The stats you need to know Northern Ireland have won none of their past eight games against Wales (D4 L4). Their last victory was in May 1980 (1-0 in Cardiff, goal by Noel Brotherston) It will be the first meeting between two British teams in the knockout stages of a major tournament. Northern Ireland have only lost two of their past 15 internationals (W7 D6) but both have been at Euro 2016 Wales have reached the knockout stage in their only two major tournaments (World Cup 1958, Euro 2016). This is the first time Northern Ireland have made it to the knockout stages of a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute.
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

Vokes to start instead of Hal for me.
This for me as well. Don't change a winning team plus vokes will be an arieal asset in both boxes. Won most of his arieal battles against Russia, plus he probably should have been on the score sheet. Hal a better impact player, I think.

Do you know where Wales fans will be congregating before the game in Paris.
not sure yet, we have booked a hotel about a mile from the ground, so will probably see when we get there.

Is there a better match day thread compiler on interweb thingy than Jack Harris?
Who nicked the Parc de princes roof?
My first ever Wales footy match was Wales v n Ireland at the Vetch, think it might have been 1984. 1-1. Mark Hughes and a mistake by Southall for the equaliser, a win would have given us the championship, I think.
