Germany showdown just got bigger says Trai

- BY LIAM SHAW

TRAI HUME believes Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Germany tomorrow will be a massive occasion after a 2-0 win over Slovakia on Friday kept them on track in Group A.

Hume scored his first international goal to seal the victory after Patrik Hrosovsky's 18th-minute own goal had put Northern Ireland in front, a deserved win for an excellent all-round performance.

It leaves them level with both Germany and Slovakia on six points at the midway point of the campaign, going into Michael O'Neill's 100th match in charge when Germany visit Windsor Park.

"We're all even on six points and now the game on Monday is even bigger than it was before," said Hume. "We'll go into it, prepare, recover and be ready to try and win."
