Thoughts after last night/this morning,
Do we make it easy? Of course not, wouldn't have it any other way.
Our first world cup match in 28 years ended in victory, it's all we could really ask. We weren't perfect by any stretch but we got the job done and have given ourselves a platform now to build on.
Respect to Haiti, they certainly didn't make it easy.
We are capable of getting the point we need in the next 2 games.
