    Jesus, we seem to love gifting early goals, just in case the opposition doesn't have enough confidence.

    This Irish team is right up there as one of the worst to ever qualify for the euros

    So far we have looked the worst team in this competition by a long, long distance :(

    If there was a world cup for football fans the Irish would walk away with it imo.

    You actually knew, as soon as McGeady touched that to outside he was running it out of play

    Got a good laugh "You'll never beat the irish" and WHAM Torres scores a easy one. Classic Euro 2012 memory right there.

    Given is well past it. Should have stopped that as well as two the other night.

    Did you not get the memo? Even tho he and Dunne make glaring mistakes every game they are both infallible and shall never be criticised by Irish fans.

    Said it earlier today, this game is the perfect one to give Torres some much needed confidence and shooting practise for the rest of the tournament, wouldnt be surprised to see him end up with one or two more

    Nah, Trap would bring the wrong fans and have them singing the wrong songs in the wrong key.

    It is his job to stop it especially when it was just over head high and he didn't have to move only to block it. Poor goalkeeping.

    An exceptional Spanish side v an exceptionally poor Irish side. What did we expect? You don't win matches at this level with hope.

    We need to be so lucky and try to keep it down to one for as long as possible and then try to mug them with a free kick or something!

    It's his job to make the saves he can make. That wasn't one of them.

    This is shockingly bad. Spain are literally running rings around us. I don't think it's left our half more than twice in the last 5 mins

    Ireland are ranked the 18th best international side in the world. That is not "exceptionally poor".
