10 minutes to go, have to say Croatia team is very strong, but lacking in defence maybe, their attacking players are fab though. 'Opta Sports ‏@OptaJoe 10 - No team scored more goals from set-pieces in qualifying than the Republic of Ireland. Drilled.'
Oh dear. That really is annoying, how can they be so solid for so long and give a goal away 2 minutes in?! Seems like the impossible is...impossible. Sorry to be gloomy
1-1 Shaping up already to be the most exciting game so far. Whistler in the crowd needs sorted, tosser. "Irish Poznan" its called the huddle when the Irish/Celts do it. lol COYBIG.
Was the second not offside? There's more goals in this been a decent game . Better than the bore fest of the Spain Italy game which I ended up switching over and watching a chick flick on the other channel.
Yep. That's probably the end of Ireland in the euros for another three decades. 88 12 36. The quality of teams is higher in the group stages of the euros than the world cup. Hence England and Ireland get found out. If Ireland are going to sit deep and park the bus, they could do with the Chelsea boys and spirit
That may help Shytee teams like Ireland get out of the group stage. Their only decent team were all English with an English Manager. Croatia produce Amazing teams with a population the size of Scotland. And basketball is their main sport
Best team won so no real complaints, but a bit irked by the tactics. Soft goals came from playing far too deep and not closing down. Upped the game when it was too late although there was a stonewall penalty not given, had it been given who knows what would have happened. If we play like that in the next two games we will get slaughtered. But the Irish support will still sing. COYBIG.
