Euro2016: Northern Ireland boss admits to great feeling to qualify from Germany, Poland group

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill says it's a great feeling to guide his side out of a Euro2016 group which contained heavyweights Germany and Poland.

Norn Iron qualified as a third-placed team in Group C and will take on Wales in the last 16 in Paris on Saturday.

"We were in a very, very difficult group and I think Poland and Germany will certainly go very, very far in the tournament," O'Neill told Sky Sports as their progress to the Round of 16 was confirmed.

"But we got ourselves out of that group and it's a great feeling."
