BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Oct 8 (AFP): Northern Ireland Manager Nigel Worthington admits he faces an anxious wait to discover if he will be sacked for his country's failure to qualify for Euro 2012. Worthington's side wasted their last chance to stay in the hunt for a play-off place after allowing Estonia to come from behind to win 2-1 in Belfast on Friday. That disappointing result left Northern Ireland with no chance of finishing second in Group C and increased the pressure on Worthington, who had to endure calls for his resignation as angry northern Irish fans showed their frustration after the final whistle at Windsor Park.
