Watch Wales Vs. Northern Ireland 2016 UEFA Euro Live Stream: Round Of 16 Eliminator Pits Great Britain Rivals Head-To-Head
The country of Wales on Thursday voted to leave the European Union. Northern Ireland voted to stay in. But the two countries will be fighting desperately to stay in Europe Saturday as they face each other in a 2016 UEFA European Championship Round of 16 match that will stream live. The winner will advance to the quarterfinals — three big wins away from the championship of Europe.
“The words of wisdom for the team are simple — find the game of your life tomorrow night. The game will have a bit of a cup-tie feel to it,” said Northern Ireland Coach Michael O’Neill. “We recognize the size of the task tomorrow night. I expect Wales are the favorites, but we played here three nights ago against the world champions and we won’t get a tougher game in the tournament.”
Northern Ireland lost to World Cup holders Germany in their final group stage game, but played a tenacious game and held the mighty Germany side to just a single goal.

The match also features a duel between Gareth Bale of Wales — one of the world’s top players, who has won two Champions League trophies with Real Madrid and scored in all three of Wales matches at the 2016 Euro — and Northern Ireland goalkeeper Michale McGovern.
