Euro2016: Coleman keeping feet firmly on ground as Wales get set for Northern Ireland

Wales boss Chris Coleman has emphasised to his side the need of keeping their feet firmly on the ground before the last 16 tie with Northern Ireland at Euro2016.

The Dragons, who qualified as Group B winners, will be overwhelming favourites for Saturday's clash at Parc des Princes but Coleman insists his players cannot get carried away.

"We have to have feet firmly on the ground here, even if everyone is talking about this possibility or that possibility," he said.

"We have seen before that everything's possible in football, but one minute you're right there and everything's great, the next you take your eye off the ball and everything's fallen down.

"There's no talk in my camp about who could be next after the last 16. No way, I wouldn't allow that."
