Black Cats' Ballard 'fantastic' for O'Neill
The Journal
|October 15, 2025
BRILLIANT Dan Ballard has been showered with praise despite Northern Ireland's 1-0 World Cup qualifying defeat at the hands of Germany.
The Sunderland centre-back was outstanding, while his Black Cats’ teammate Trai Hume was also prominent in Belfast.
Michael O’Neill’s side battled well against their high-profile opponents, and even had the ball in the back of the net courtesy of Ballard early on, only for the strike to be ruled out.
