Northern Ireland's Stuart Dallas can already see similarities between Michael O'Neill's young side and the team the manager took to the European Championships in 2016."I think looking back at the campaign where we qualified for the Euros, our foundations were built on having a good defence," Dallas told BBC Sport NI.
Certainly when shipping four goals to Finland last November, few would have predicted O'Neill's side would concede just once across their next 270 minutes of football and all against three sides bound for the Euros this summer too. After they enjoyed just 18% possession in the win at Hampden Park, Northern Ireland women's international Caragh Hamilton believes the next step will be to spend more time on the ball to relieve pressure on their backline."There are so many names that will go unnoticed for the effort they put in.
"We did it a bit better in the first half than the second but when you've got those tired legs, it's difficult to stay on the ball."Optimism among the supporters will only be enhanced by the age profile of those who impressed this month too.
