Northern Ireland at Euro 2016: The boys have something to prove - Chris Brunt

West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has won 48 caps for Northern Ireland and played in eight of their 10 qualifying games for Euro 2016, but missed out on their squad for the finals through injury after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in March. He is in France as a pundit for BBC Sport.
The Northern Ireland dressing room is normally a noisy place to be around but it was very quiet after our defeat by Polandat Stade de Nice on Sunday.
Everyone was totally deflated. It felt like a massive anti-climax after all the build-up to Euro 2016 because the boys were so disappointed, not just because we lost but with the way we played.
