I'll start; I watched the match at Titanic Quarter in one of the fan zones with my dad, who would have certainly had to calm teenage me down that Northern Ireland were not going to go on to win the Euros...
I look forward to hearing your stories!
Ukraine v Northern Ireland (19:45 BST)
It is really, really hard to believe that historic win over Ukraine was 10 years ago (I did warn you I would say this a lot).
If that somehow does not make you feel old or the fact that tonight's starting XI is the youngest since WW2 does not either, also remember that 17 of the squad are 25 or under...

Whenever Northern Ireland face Ukraine, it is inevitable that the memories start coming back.
The hailstones that halted the game, the Gareth McAuley header, Niall McGinn wheeling away in pure elation and the endless renditions of 'Will Grigg's on fire'.
Whether you were at the game or watching at home, it's hard to believe 10 years have passed since that famous day in France at Euro 2016.

Northern Ireland have played Ukraine once since the Euros win when they met for an international friendly and lost 1-0, but let's just agree to forget about that right now!
Instead, we can take a trip down memory lane when goals from Gareth McAuley and Niall McGinnearned NI's first win at a European Championship.
A pre-warning that I will mention that I can't believe how long it has been quite a lot this evening.

Right, let's have a look at the teams.
A little spoiler, the Northern Ireland starting XI is the youngest since WW2 with 10 of the 11 players under 24.
Thanks to everyone's favourite statistician, Marshall Gillespie, for that one.
Ukraine v Northern Ireland (19:45 BST)
Northern Ireland defender Trai Hume said his side "worked until the end" during their Nations League Group B2 goalless draw against Hungary at Windsor Park.
It was a match of few chances with Michael O'Neill's side coming the closest when Patrick Kelly hit the crossbar in the first half.
"It was a tough game overall," Hume told BBC Sport NI.
"They were good, but we were good as well. We created chances as they did in the second half. Overall, it was an even enough game and a draw is a fair result
"The game in Georgia probably took its toll. It was a long flight and not a lot of rest. We worked until the end and tried to get there but we tired over the 90 minutes."

Ukraine are also unbeaten so far this Nations League campaign with both their scorelines the exact same as Northern Ireland's.
They opened with a 1-0 win over Hungary in Andrea Maldera's first competitive match.
They then drew 0-0 with Georgia on Monday with the side now losing just one of their past five fixtures.

It has been a good start to life in Nations League B Group 2 for Northern Ireland, who are unbeaten so far.
They opened their campaign with an impressive 1-0 win over Georgia in Tbilisi thanks to Shea Charles' 99th-minute winner.
Georgia 0-1 Northern Ireland
Then, there was much excitement ahead of NI's return to Windsor Park after 315 days.
However, the game won't really live long in the memory with Hungary and NI playing out at goalless draw in Belfast.
Northern Ireland 0-0 Hungary

Hello and welcome to our live text commentary for tonight's Nations League Group 2 game between Ukraine and Northern Ireland in Trnava.
Unfortunately, we have not gone back in time, and we cannot relive that famous win over Ukraine in Lyon.
However, there is plenty to be excited about tonight as we are halfway through the four-games in 11 days cycle with tonight the third match of the extended window.
Both teams are unbeaten so far this competition and are joint-top of the group so it should be a really intriguing match.
You can watch the game on BBC Two NI and BBC iPlayer, and you can listen on BBC Sounds or BBC Radio Ulster.
We'll also have all the build-up, live text updates, in-play clips and reaction right here, so you won't miss a second of the drama!
Thanks for joining us. Enjoy!
Northern Ireland are joint-top of League B2 with Ukraine after the opening two matches
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill says his side are in "good shape" ahead of their Nations League match against Ukraine in Slovakia.
O'Neill's side beat Georgia 1-0 in their opening match thanks to Shea Charles' last-gasp winner, and held Hungary to a goalless draw in Belfast on Monday.
Despite looking tired in the closing stages of Monday's draw, which came after a 5000-mile round trip to Tbilisi, O'Neill said that his squad was healthy and ready to go for the third game of the quadruple-header.
"We're pleased with where we're at this minute in time. The boys have done extremely well in the games," he said.
"They've recovered extremely well, which is a bonus.
"I think younger players obviously recover a little bit quicker than older players as well, so we're in good shape to play again."
O'Neill conceded that Ukraine, who won 1-0 in Hungary before a goalless draw with Georgia, are favourites to win on Friday but added his side "thrive" on the underdog tag.
"I think they are favourites. They're the home team, although obviously the game is not being played in Ukraine. They have a very good team.
"I think they are a team that is probably a little bit further ahead in its development than we are. But we're comfortable with not being favourites in the game."

Jamie Donley is one of six players at risk of suspension if they pick up a yellow card against Ukraine
Striker Jamie Donley is one of six players at risk of suspension if they collect a second yellow card in the competition.
Justin Devenny, Ciaron Brown and the now-injured Dan Ballard were booked in the opening win in Georgia, while Ethan Galbraith, Isaac Price, Donley and Shea Charles were cautioned in Monday's goalless draw with Hungary.
Donley was booked for catching Mark Csinger with a stray arm but, despite the threat of a game on the sidelines should he pick up a second booking in the campaign, he doesn't believe it will change how he approaches the game.
"I will still try and play my same game style," the 21-year-old said.
"I will probably try and be a bit more cautious, but it's not something that I'll be thinking about."
O'Neill said he was "disappointed" with some of the bookings his players had picked up, but that it would not impact his team selection for the third game of the quadruple-header.
"I don't worry about it because what will happen will happen," O'Neill said.
"It's not like we're in a World Cup play-off and someone's on a booking and could miss the second leg, or whatever way you want to look at the scenarios.
"Here, I'll ask the players to just play their normal game."
