Absolutely gutted, was 50 of us going combining a stag into the mix.

I fancy us to get a draw against the Croats, especially if the supporters get really behind the team.

Go on ye good tings ye ! :-)

Trust me, if I was in any shape to go, I'd be there, it was shaping up to be the weekend of the year, and the boys keep sending me pictures, the coonts :-(

Wallowing in self pity instead
Gotta take these things on the chin.
I don't even have energy to watch it in the pub, so I'll be forced to watch it at home with German fûckin commentary

Why people are so crazy about football that it deserves its own sticky is beyond me.

People only look at the first page mostly. If this is stickied it may stop other threads on the subject popping up, well that and it's the biggest most exciting thing to happen in this country since the budget of '09.


Don't know one end of a football player from another but I have to say this could be good craic.

My friend txted me to say some muppets from Donegal started throwing bottles at the police in Poznan square last night while cowardly hiding in a big group of Irish supporters. My friends and a load of other lads intervened and frog-marched them to the police.

Hope they got a beating, Irish soccer fans have a great reputation abroad, these idiots should **** off.

Are you waiting out the virus in Vienna or did you fly home?

Either way, that sucks. Hope it's not just the Croatia game and you get to go to the others.

Have my bar picked out, nice Irish bar that sell pint bottles of bulmers and have an outdoor screen. Heading to watch the Italian match first. Right after I check out the colluseum

Enjoy the festivities lads

Fair play to Denmark yesterday, very lucky.

I wouldn't say they were that lucky at all....

Terribly negative approach from the Netherlands given their attacking riches with two defensive midfielders and RVP practically on his own up front with Robben and Affalay greedy beyond reproach...

besides, the dutch only really created about two real quality chances...most of their other billion shots were aimed at row z from 40 yards out (robben being the chief offender here).

Whats a good result in the first match today for Ireland, or does it matter much?

A win would set us up nicely for getting out of the group and a draw will make sure it goes to the last game. If we lose we're looking at an early exit.

I was more talking about the Italy v Spain game. I assume Ireland will be 3 for 3

An Italian win could be a good result....it would be good playing an already qualified Italy in the last round of games.

So it looks like things are getting a bit heated over there in Poland, wonder will the Polish Police ever show up when trouble starts lol.....By the way, the guys you see in the video below are not Police, they are called Straz, something like reserve Gardai here but paid, just no full Police powers.....

and the friendly russians...

And from what i hear from a pal who was in the thick of the fighting in Poznan last night Croat and Irish fans were attack by hool type Polish lads.....

Mint Sauce

Not many Italians in the place.

SeaFields

Some good, old fashioned hard tackles going in in the Spain-Italy game.

That Man city lad Balotelli (?) is a feckin nutter too :eek:

dj jarvis

how long before balotelli gets sent off ?

Cork24

The way things are playing out I feel we could come away with a point from Spain on Thursday just muscle them off the ball And close all the gaps Italy are the much better team

I reckon we will see lorente soon here the same if it goes like this in our game.

dj jarvis

surely a draw in the spain v italy game is the best result for ireland ?

we win, then we go top of the group - we lose , then we are only one point off spain and italy

makes perfect sense to me

I don't want to jinx it but I'd be delighted with a 0-0 draw here.

Balotelli you utter dope!

SeaFields

Cork24

WTF is bale doing ??

Mint Sauce

Balotelli just choked.

Mint Sauce

Best thing about this tournament so far is.....


No fcuking vuvuzelas.

SeaFields

What?! they are taking him off? he was doing very well i thought?

Cork24

I do wonder why balotelli is being sub

My name is URL

He could have picked up a knock. Would explain the mess he made of that effort a few minutes ago

I hope the Ireland game is as energetic as this one.

Cork24

Goooooooooaaaaalllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!

ancientoracle

Nice finish, totally deserved to be honest, Spain have been terrible

My name is URL

Lovely finish.. I suppose if anyone has to win this game it's better for us if it's Italy

dj jarvis

shows it was the perfect swap for the other goon , hope now spain get one back , because they will be gunning for us if they lose this

1-1 is the score we want

Peach of a goal but what were the Spanish defence at?!

Italy are a class act. Irish fans seem to think they're there for the taking but not on this evidence.
