    Crazy that he hasn't been brought on.

    2 penalty shouts for us. Robbie Keanes was a stonewaller. Trap bringing on the lads 5 mins into second half is bizarre. why not change at half time? we mightnt be 3-1 down at this stage.
    McGeady is the most overrated player ive ever seen play for us. his cross for the goal might have been pinpoint but overall Cox has shown him up to have little impact to the side for all his showponying.

    PResumably because we were 2-1 down at half time, trap made those changes when Croatia got their 3rd

    Players usually spend the entire second half warming up.

    This is why Trap should not have got a contract until after the tournament.Now we are stuck with him for the next few years

    This is the worst Irish performance I have seen in a while .

    It's all our own doing :(

    John O Shea is either past it or playing with an injury . Absolute muck.

    The more I look at this game the more I think Irish supporters are just a more docile version of English. All bluster and noise at first, booing opposition players. But when the going gets tough they just stand there looking glum with their arms folded.

    Apparently Cox is a better winger. We bring on a big striker in Walters and have nobody to cross the ball to him.

    Don't kid yourself, Ireland are losing because Ireland has a very limited group of players. No manager in the world is going to change that.

    Ah we're not. We're a small country with a group of journeymen players.

    We're having a bad game. It happens to every team.

    Still depressing as hell though! And I've stayed up all night (it's 4:20 AM where I am) to watch this...

    The worrying thing is that Spain didn't win today so will go all out against us and will know goal difference might be a factor if they want to top the group.

    Does Given ever throw the ball out to an Irish player instead of kicking it long and it just coming straight back ? FFs can we not try and keep possession and build up at all..
