That's just ridiculous. Left with a 3 on 1.

I don't get Ireland fans sometimes. First half wasn't pretty to watch, we sat back yet there was only one or two half chances for Belgium. And people complain.
We come out with more attacking intent in the second half, leave gaps at the back as a result, concede 2 and people complain.

I was actually quite pleased with how the first half went.

Same here.

God I'd love to punch hazard.

Memories of 2012 creeping back in.

Watch John Giles still get treated as an all-knowing oracle by the panel.

PeterTheEighth

What's Lokaku doing with his ear to the crowd. Pr1ck. He wasnt worth a f**k in the first game, and now thinks he's a hero

Debil

So naive

Guy:Incognito

Sucked him in out on the touchline something awful. Clarke bought it hook, line and sinker.

Itssoeasy

Well balls anyway.

Too Tough To Die

First tonking of the tournament, coming up.

AllGunsBlazing

This could get even worse yet.

SlickRic

Naive.

So brainless from Clark.

The management have every right to go ballistic at some of these players.

Amateurish.

gandalf

Ah well that's what happens when you're chasing the game against a team like Belgium who have the speed to hit you on the counter attack!

Say Your Number

Fields Of Athenry time

awec

If you're going to dive in like that you have to take him out at the very least.

namloc1980

If you're going to make a tackle like that you have to clean the player out and all.

sligeach

Laois and Armagh is about to throw-in over on RTE 1. I don't think I can watch any more of this train wreck.

Bobby Baccala

Poor stuff altogether and we could easily keep conceding

mzungu

Ah crap.

AMKC

Could see that coming too.

Godot.

Why is Clark even playing instead of Keogh anyway? He couldn't get into an Aston Villa team for most of the season, a team that finished with 16 points ffs!!

5star02707

Bruhh poor o shea left alone there. Just don't concede anymore we still have Italy to play for. We can still qualify

Osmosis Jones

This is as bad as 2012, O'Neill is probably happy as long as we don't concede too many more too.

We've played like amateurs, embarrassing.

Harry Palmr

Someone take the pens off Dunphy now! :pac:

J Mysterio

Italy - faffanapoli, we're coming for you.

Ally Dick

The best fans in the world will burst their guts singing now, and show no signs of disappointment whatsover. It's baffling

Clear Hearts

Its around now we start trying to win the greatest fans in the world award, also known as we dont care as long as we have the craic

well he has done exactly what he is on the pitch to do.

Sand

If the team couldn't secure a win against Sweden, there is little to expect from either Belgium or Italy. Both sides are far, far, far better than the Irish team.

Nice of the lads to give Belgium a confidence boosting performance though. Belgium might build on this and do well in the rest of the tournament.

Harps

Single worst display of the tournament so far, pathetically easy for Belgium. not much else worth saying..

vidor

Giles digging in already.

Unearthly

This is horribly painful. Gutted

Masala

I better get the lawn cut before the rain comes...

blukyt

This was always on the cards

Osmosis Jones

We're not beating Italy. O'Neill is going to play the exact same team again, he'll bring on McClean and McGeady around 70 mins and nothing will change.

Long committed the first foul, hence the free against him. He was clattered after that but that was irrelevant really.

He's really didn't

We could have done with a holding midfielder in the second half, if such a thing existed.... there.. Bill.

He's rubbish, but better than our rubbish.

JustTheOne

Can someone answer if Belgium beat sweden and that leaves Italy and Belgium on 6 points, who will get top?

Italy might need to beat us now which isn't good.

Green Fella

Well we said it pre match and at HT, we deserved nothing from this the negative way we have played. We now reap what we sow here, this was coming. And watch people try and big up this Belgian side, who really are nothing special and way overhyped. They havent had to work to do anything here either

As I said at HT, this is very sad to see

Head to head, so Italy.

keano_afc

Worst Irish display since 2012. When the team is timewasting in the 9th minute you know it a gonna be a long day.

derm0j073

We've made Belgium look good. Our tactics were to get 10 men behind the ball and nothing else. It's a poxy display.

99.9% sure he did. Pull up the clip again if you want but I'm happy with my memory of it.

Italy will be top on head to head

sligeach

We now have to beat Italy. A draw for Sweden against Belguim would be enough for them to finish 3rd on goal difference if we draw against Italy.

namloc1980

I thought Turkey were bad last night but we've outdone them here with the worst performance of the tournament.
