Northern Ireland v Slovenia

The USA played Argentina in New York on Saturday. Tonight, they'll play Paraguay in Nashville. Saturday felt like playing the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Tonight will feel like playing the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. I can think of one important match taking place today: Northern Ireland v Slovenia, from Windsor Park, Belfast. What's that? We need pictures representing those two countries? OK!

Northern Ireland v Slovenia

Windsor Park, Belfast

2.45 pm ET

There we go. Northern Ireland really really might make the Euros. They need to beat Slovenia to keep their chances in good health. Slovenia's a capable side, as we learned during the World Cup, with Bobby Koren being their biggest threat. Also, I bet you didn't know that Ljubljana was such an attractive city. Here's a bit of their national anthem translated to English:

"Let thunder out of heaven; strike down and smite our wanton foe; now once as it had thriven; May our dear realm in freedom grow."

Not bad stuff. The game'll be worth a look if you're stuck at work and need some entertainment to get you over that 5 o'clock line. If you're an intrepid internet user, you'll be able to find a way to watch. It's not on American TV, though. Tomorrow, we'll start looking towards the weekend, including a Bottom-of-the-SPL grudge match.
