Italy win. If we draw tonight and beat Italy we are therefore through.

However if Italy Cro draw tonight, we draw against Spain and Spain beat Croatia we'll be out regardless of what we do against italy (head to head).

The amazing thing is we can actually still qualify by finishing on 2 pts whereas we can't if we finish on 3. Unlikely but a bizarre stat

Would this not leave us on the exact same points as Italy though? How would we be through straight away?

The first tiebreaker is head-to-head.

Latchy

I've taken these two ...it might be that sort of match

Ireland to win 2-1 @ 33/1

Spain to win 3-2 @ 33/1

Sunnyisland

I have this

Draw 1-1 @ 10/1

Draw 2-2 @ 33/1

Spain 2-1 @ 17/2

Spain 4-1 @ 20/1

Also have England,Holland or Portugal to win it.

Any word on the team being named yet??

Few different options...
Italy win now then see above.

Second option:
Croatia Win now vs Italy.
Croatia DRAW vs Spain.
Ireland DRAW vs Spain.
Ireland WIN vs Italy.

Croatia 7pts
Ireland 4pts
Spain 3pts
Italy 1pts

Quite unlikely but at least it's a chance.

Last option:

Ireland WIN both matches!!! Then who gives a f*ck what hapens tonight

I've a fiver on Italy to win 3-1. Couldn't bring myself to bet on Spain winning their game

Corker!

awec

For some really strange reason I fancy spain to win tonight, so might have a flutter on them.

Nodin

Nearly broke a rib there diving for the remote....they should have some sort of viewer discretion warning when them two are about to appear.

Putting Cox out in the wrong situation can lead to all sorts of problems.

No I don't have a kitchen in my house or if I do I don't frequent it often.

Doyle played much better than Keane against Croatia.

Trap doesn't care about meaningless details like that. He does his own thing and isn't afraid of anything. He's like the honey badger.

Latchy

Hopefully Torres has one of his famous ' off days ' and leaves his shooting boots at home .

Diego Maradona

Spain to win 2-0.

Torres, Pique.

Nervous as fuck.

I now no longer smoke cigarettes, Ive taken to eating them.

I'm sorely tempted to put a fiver on Spain to win 5-1

40/1 to do it!

I mean I very much want Ireland to win, but if we're going to lose it may as well be a drubbing!

Sunnyisland

Ah a message from our president ;-)

Sunnyisland

I would really love us to beat Spain,My heart wants us to but my pocket says different.

IrishAm

Fair play to the travelling Irish supporters, they have been a credit to the country.

The noise of them, the stadium is rocking.

Latchy

'' we shall fight them in the streets of our towns and villages ,we shall fight them on the beaches '' :cool:

Oh ...er ...wrong country .

Ah c'mon lads. Get them back for 2002.
