Euro 2016

[a-dev]

I don't think we stand a chance against sweden with ibrahimovic in the kind of form hes in. Dunphy and co talking up irelands chances of getting to the quarters. I think its a joke to be honest. i can see us getting trashed and finishing bottom of the group just like we did in euro 2012.

That 3-0 win over Sweden that launched Steve Staunton's tenure as manager is the only football match I've ever been at. I hope we channel that rather than our last 2 matches against them which were a draw and a defeat in the last world cup qualifiers - according to my google search, I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of such things.

And let the games begin. Incidentally I'm in work and will miss it. I'll just be clicking refresh on a news page every few minutes.

Well my positive feelings are gone. Every swedish player looks like they are afraid of the ball and each other.

 

[a-dev]

Yeah from the twitter posts I've been seeing it seems like Ireland owned that half.

 

[Aliaz]

Yep could easily have been 3-0.

 

[Collectorcol]

Whut!?

 

[Collectorcol]

Just what the game needed.

Yep could easily have been 3-0.

We have an incredibly poor Euro 2012 to make up for. But ''nearly'' never won the race as they say.

Good game.

 

[a-dev]

sounds about right.

 

[Aliaz]

You even have to score for us.

Always doing what we can to help the opposition.

Not a single shot at goal thank you Clark and our goalkeeper.

 

[Aliaz]

Great pass and strike to give Italy the lead.
