Disastroso avvio del girone di qualificazione ad Euro 2008 per la nazionale nordirlandese.

In casa, davanti a 15000 spettatori, ha rimediato un sonoro 0-3 dall'Islanda.

Intervista con il tecnico Lawrie Sanchez (BBC)

Ecco il resoconto della partita, che potete leggere interamente sul sito dell'Irish Football Association
_________________

FIRST HALF SHOCKER SINKS NORTHERN IRELAND

NORTHERN Ireland’s Euro 2008 qualifying hopes suffered an early blow following an opening day defeat at home to Iceland, a side ranked some 34 places lower in the rankings.

With the morning heavy rain giving way to sunshine in time for kick-off the stage was set for Lawrie Sanchez’s side to kick off their campaign with a home victory.

Unfortunately the visitors had other ideas and moved into the lead after barely 13 minutes when a cross from Johannes Gudjonsson was allowed through by Stephen Craigan with Gunner Thorvaldsson only too eager to pounce.

Number two arrived on 19 minutes – and again some suspect defending allowed a Gudjonsson corner to bypass the entire backline for Hermann Hreidarsson to turn the ball past Maik Taylor at the far post.

And, on 36 minutes, it was 3-0. A Gretar Steinsson cross was only partially cleared as far as Barcelona’s Eidur Gudjohnsen who promptly returned the ball to hand the visitors a commanding half-time advantage.[... prosegue sul sito...]

Northern Ireland Football Fans Crowned the Best in Europe!


I tifosi dell'Irlanda del Nord hanno vinto il premio Brussel International Supporters, istituito lo scorso anno per commemorare i 39 tifosi morti all'Heysel.

Questa sera, prima del match Irlanda del Nord-Spagna, il premio verrà consegnato alla Federazione nordirlandese.

_________________________

n Monaco, UEFA announced that the Brussels International Supporters Award 2006 is presented to Northern Irish supporters.

The award will be presented at 7.55pm tonight, before kick off of the match Northern Ireland v Spain.

Created in 2005 on the occasion of the homage made by the City of Brussels to the thirty-nine victims of the Heysel tragedy, with a concept thought by the communication and marketing agency Dialogic, the Brussels International Supporters Award was last year presented to the Spanish group Peña Multicolor for its fight against racism in the stadium of the small Andalusian town of El Ejido.

The prize had already been granted the support of large political and sporting organisations. Today, it benefits from the assistance of the European Commission and the European Parliament, the International Olympic Committee, Panathlon International, the International Committee for Fair Play and the European Union of Football Associations (UEFA), which has collaborated closely with the Dialogic agency in the organisation of the Brussels International Supporters Award 2006.

The philosophy of the award has not changed since last year. To return football to an atmosphere of festivity, it is first necessary to address the supporters who provide the ambiance in the stadiums. It is they who have to be convinced that conviviality and fraternity should prevail rather than fanaticism, racism and violence. The Brussels International Supporters Award was founded on the grand principles of sporting ethics. It encourages goodwill and rewards projects that go in the same direction.

Northern Ireland Football Fans Crowned the Best in Europe!

This year, the international jury has identified a particularly interesting initiative taken by the Northern Irish supporters who, through football, have made their contribution to tackling sectarianism in Northern Ireland, which has long been torn apart by the Troubles.

Created in 1998 by two fervent northern Irish supporters, Alex Steele and Gary Hancock, the “Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Football Supporters Clubs” co-ordinates the various clubs (60 clubs and 2500 members in total) that support the national team, within a structure that establishes formal contact between the fans and the Irish Football Association (IFA).

In the vast «Football for All»campaign conducted by the IFA, the Amalgamation has played and still plays a determinant role. The Association recognises that it is now appropriate to replicate in the Carnegie Premier League the excellent work performed by the supporters’ organisation.

In the name of the Amalgamation, Jim Rainey has actively fought sectarianism and every other form of fanaticism in and around the football grounds. In particular, he reserved 600 seats for matches of the national team at Windsor Park in order to create an ambiance in which sectarian chants had no place. Also, he volunteered to co-ordinate trips overseas for northern Irish supporters and became their spokesperson with the police and British Embassies abroad.

Finally, toiling in partnership with other fans, Jim Rainey mobilised the supporters in benevolent activities. Over the course of the last six years, he has been able to collect close to £80,000 for the benefit of various charities both home and abroad.

Since 2001, the Amalgamation has contributed to changing the supporter “culture” in Northern Ireland. Without question, the Amalgamation is a project by and for the supporters that takes account of the historical, cultural, social and political background of Northern Ireland.

For all these reasons, the organisers of the Brussels International Supporters Award are happy to award them the prize for 2006 at the Northern Ireland Vs Spain game on the 6 September at Windsor Park prior to kick off.

Liechtenstein - Northern Ireland 1-4
Ennesimo hat-trick di David Healy nella vittoria nordirlandese a Vaduz.



JOB DONE IN VADUZ
24/03/2007, By Martin Harris

NORTHERN Ireland produced a superb second half performance in Vaduz to defeat Liechtenstein 4-1 and pick up a valuable three points from this Euro 2008 qualifier – oh, and David Healy helped himself to another hat-trick!

The Leeds United striker opened the scoring seven minutes after the break when he got on the end of a loose ball after home keeper Peter Jehle had blocked a Kyle Lafferty shot.

Number two arrived on 74 minutes when Keith Gillespie - who misses the Sweden game through suspension - sent him through while he claimed the match ball eight minutes later when Steve Davis provided the telling pass to create the opening.

Liechtenstein did grab a consolation in the first minute of stoppage time when Franz Burgmeier sent home a curling right-foot effort but there was still time for Grant McCann to head in a Gillespie cross at the other end - his first goal for Northern Ireland.

Una doppietta del solito Healy consente ai nordirlandesi di rimontare e battere la Svezia e di portarsi in testa al girone.

N Ireland 2-1 Sweden



David Healy celebrates after levelling at Windsor Park
Northern Ireland replaced Sweden at the top of their Euro 2008 qualifying group after a David Healy double gave them another famous victory at Windsor Park.

The vistors took a 27th minute when Johan Elmander held off Aaron Hughes before firing past Maik Taylor.

Healy levelled four minutes later with a superb strike from 18 yards and won it with a near-post finish from Damien Johnson's cross on 59 minutes.

Stephen Craigan nearly scored an own goal as his clearance hit a post.

The Belfast fans were in full voice as the game started at a frantic pace.

There was plenty of effort but creating chances was proving a problem in what was becoming a physical battle.

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was first to go close on 23 minutes with a 25-yard free-kick which drifted just wide.

Michael Duff was presented with N Ireland's first opening two minutes later but headed well over from a Chris Brunt corner.

The visitors took the lead with the first good move after 27 minutes, which finished with Elmander using his strength to create space before netting from close range.

The equaliser came just four minutes later and it was a superb strike from the prolific Healy, who sent a dipping shot into the top corner from 18 yards.

Damien Johnson picked up the first booking seven minutes from the break after a trip on Freddie Ljungberg.

Sweden looked more potent early in the second half and Grant McCann had to clear off the line from Ibrahimovich's 54th minute header.

But it was N Ireland who struck next and again it was Healy, meeting Johnson's cross at the nearpost and flicking the ball beyond a diving Iasaksson.

Lawrie's Sanchez's side were also having a bit of luck as Craigan sent an attempted clearance crashing against a post and out to safety on 69 minutes.

Sweden pressed for the equaliser and Ibrahimovich shot over before Ljungberg and Elmander wasted good opportunities.

Healy could have made it a second hat-trick in two games but his fierce shot went straight at Iasaksson.

The Leeds United forward, who has scored nine goals in the qualifying campaign, received a standing ovation after being substituted in the dying seconds.

Northern Ireland: Taylor, Duff, Hughes, Craigan, Evans, Johnson, McCann, Davis, Brunt, Healy, Feeney.

Sweden: Isaksson, Nilsson, Mellberg, Hansson, Edman, Alexandersson, Andersson, Svensson, Ljungberg, Ibrahimovic, Elmander.

Referee: Eric Braamhaar (Holland)

Northern Ireland - Sweden 2-1
Ancora una vittoria per la nazionale nordirlandese contro l'imbattuta - fino a ieri - Svezia ed ancora due gol per il trascinatore David Healy, ora top scorer assoluto con 9 reti messe a segno in 6 gare.
Adesso, con una gara in più rispetto a Svezia e Spagna, la squadra dell'Irlanda del Nord guida la classifica del Girone F, con 1 punto di vantaggio sugli scandinavi e 4 sugli iberici.

Northern Ireland 13 (6 partite)
Sweden 12 (5)
Spain 9 (5)
Denmark 7 (4)
Latvia 3 (4)
Liechtenstein 3 (5)
Iceland 3 (5)

Dal sito www.bbc.co.uk

Northern Ireland football fans were in dreamland on Wednesday night after their team pulled off another fantastic result at Belfast's Windsor Park.

A 2-1 victory over previously undefeated Sweden put Lawrie Sanchez's men top of their 2008 European Championship qualifying table, midway through their 12 games.

That would have been beyond the expectations of even the most diehard Northern Ireland fan when they were drawn in a group featuring top teams Spain, Sweden and Denmark.

It also looked highly unlikely after a 3-0 defeat by Iceland in their opening game.

The hero for the men in green was yet again striker David Healy, who hit his eighth and ninth goals of the qualifying campaign.

Healy scored in the 31st and 58th minutes after Sweden had gone ahead in the 26th minute.

The Leeds United striker said while his first goal was the better of the two, the second was the sweeter as it was the match winner.

But he added: "They are all sweet strikes at Windsor Park."

The win was another giant performance by Northern Ireland, who provided perhaps the shock of the qualifiers last September when they beat a star-studded Spanish side 3-2.

Sweden had won their previous four matches in Group F and rarely fail to qualify for a major tournament.

Healy has now scored nine goals in six qualifiers this campaign, including two hat-tricks.

After the match, NI manager Sanchez said he was delighted by the result but stressed there was still a long way to go in the campaign.

"It's great to be top of the group at the halfway stage.

"Thirteen points from six games is phenomenal - but we'll have to get as many if not more from the next six.

"There is a lot of football left in this group," Sanchez said.

The European Championship takes place in June of 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.

The mood of Republic of Ireland fans was also lifted on Wednesday night after a 1-0 victory over Slovakia at Croke Park in Dublin.

Team manager Steve Staunton has been under intense after recent performances such as last month's injury time victory over minnows San Marino.

However, victory over the dangerous Slovakians and Wales at the weekend will take off some of the heat.

Reading's Kevin Doyle scored the winner in the 13th minute.

Nord Irlanda, incredibile ma vero

La nazionale allenata da Sanchez è la più grande sorpresa delle qualificazioni a Euro 2008.

GRUPPO F - Una classifica inattesa, a dir poco.
LA SORPRESA: l'Irlanda del Nord non è una sorpresa. E' un miracolo. Anzi, due miracoli, perché David Healy è il top scorer delle qualificazioni.
LA DELUSIONE: ieri si è salvata nel finale, ma la Spagna è la nazionale che ha stentato di più in rapporto alle strepitose potenzialità.
CHANCE DI QUALIFICAZIONE: Svezia 35%, Spagna 25%, Irlanda del Nord 20%, Danimarca 19%, altre 1%.
