Wasn't that Terry Henry did it (it's what you expect from foreigners these days) it was that he got away with it as with other 'incidents' Lampard goal v Germans criminal that the game at the highest level still won't embrace the technology that other sports use to illuminate human error decided the ultimate prizes in the multi million pounds industry that is winning.

Russia looked good against poor opponents. Pity we didn't get drawn in Group A

The Irish fans gave the England team a big welcome to Poland.
The England team were given a chorus of "You'll Never Beat The Irish","Fields of Athenry and "Amhran na bhFiann"...You would nearly think this polish street was O Connell street in Dublin Watch the vid,classic.

Was watching Joe Hart earlier. Apparently the banter between the 2 sets of supporters has been brilliant

Same here mate.
Turned off the computer and put it back on after about 30 minutes.
Spain are lovely to watch,but need a bit of route one football at times.
That game is crying out for Llorente...couple of high balls into him will cause Italy major problems.
Trying to pass it into the net is frustrating to watch at times.

Spain 1 v Italy 1
That's could be a great result for us if we tank the Croatian's.
Poor Torres is absolutely brutal..whats happened him?....gets the ball at his feet and he fumbles about looking like a sunday league player.

Confidence is shot to hell...I bet you the next time he scores he'll break down and cry.

Re: Euro 2012 Groups and Schedules.
Ireland has given the worst performance so far in the Euros. What happened to our defence??? 11 clean sheets in the last 14 games! McGeady was feckin brutal, a waste of time. I know we aren't blessed with world class players but we can certainly do better than that. (Croatia are no great shakes either)

Re: Euro 2012 Groups and Schedules.
One of those nights D. Goalie wrong-footed for first goal, then it goes off the post on to his head for the second. Defo penalty refused as well...

Caught the odd bit poor, result frustrating when it's down to your own failures as opposed to opponents being so much better. Mountain to climb now need to win next game even if you get a draw you'll have to beat Italy and might still not be enough.

Sitting back that deep killed us....if you play like that against teams with quality they'll eventually score.
McGeady's performance most rank as one of the worst ever individual performances at the euros
