    The day is upon us.

    Where will you be watching the game?

    Predictions?

    Hopes?

    For me, |I shall be staying up for the fight tonight, going to bed. I shall be putting on my championship pants for the big game.
    When that is over I'll watch the Tyrone V Armagh match and then head to the pub for the Ireland game. It is my closest bar, so all the neighbours should be out. The last time I watched a big match in there it was the World cup final and the place was rammed. I am expectingt the same tomorrow.

    I am not a fan of the Trap style, but I am a big fan of his results. I don't know what to expect. I hope for a 1-0.. I'd be happy with a 0-0.

    I reckon a win here and Ireland should go through, I can't see Italy hitting the gears and one win for Ireland means they can carry on the clean sheets to scrape 2 draws and 5 points <ok> here's hoping

    Really? Probably wont be too big, but no doubt the media will blow it up. A spaniard was found dead in Donetsk, he wasn't a football fan though, he went missing a month ago yet the media tried to make it out as if a Spanish fan had been killed blah blah blah, I don't think they even play there <doh>

    Rumours that the croats and poles were going at it and poor aul Pat got caught in the middle.

    I really think we need to win this one to have any chance of getting through, this could be a tight group and Italy could just surprise a few people. COYBIG.

    Win is a must, unfortunately, its also a must win for Croatia. Whoever wins this has a good chance of joining Spain in the Quarters.

    Hopefully though, the Croatians will go all out for the win, and our defense can soak up the pressure, and we can grab the goal.

    Of course he has a different version of events <doh>
    We didn't win a game in 90 and made it to the Quarter finals......and only scored two goal in 5 games.
