    Our lot might get the odd day or two in August when they are close to peak fitness and well rested playing in this type heat... having said that we looked knackered after 70 mins in each game so far...

    Yeah, hard to see how he would recover from an Achilles injury that quickly.

    I'd love if we could make one more sub just to bring Whelan on to do Griezmann.

    Think we punched above our weight first half and they were poor but we certainly haven't been embarrassed

    Even though we haven't had any decent possession lately we will get another chance...just need likes of Walters to get it.

    We are giving the ball away with pretty much every kick.

    Luckily for us, Gignac is as selfish with the ball as he is with his food.

    This is where the conditions murder the smaller nations and our lack of depth on the bench.

    Walters shouldn't be on. Didn't look right in the first match and has been injured since.

    My nerves were shot at 1 nil up but now they're on an unhealthy level. They're out on their feet and don't deserve a 3-1 scoreline.

    Fingers crossed we somehow nick a goal to take it to ET and then park the bus for penalties.

    It's 23 degrees there today with a 16km/h breeze. The weather is no excuse. It wasn't a problem for Wales, NI or England for any of their fixtures.

    Why when we get in a good position and have the ball in space and no pressure do we manage to fųck it up every time... decision making is so poor...

    Did the 2nd French goal come from the same sequence of play when we didn't get the obvious corner for the deflection on Ward's shot?

    This is like being invited back to a beautiful woman's apartment and thinking it's your lucky day, only for her big French kickboxing husband to come home at the last minute.

    I really hope we don't get battered here. A 4-1 scoreline would be cruel.

    If we'r to take it to penos we basically have to win the next 40 minutes 1-0. Chances of that happening?

    Jesus, serious negativity here. Game is planning out exactly as it probably should. Ireland played their best 45 minutes under O'Neill, are justifiably shagged and are - for now - within a goal of the tournament hosts.

    I agree it isn't an excuse but I'd be asking questions.

    On a side note I doubt that 16 kmh breeze is being felt at pitch level.

    Less than that. There was 3 minutes between the goals, with that appalling corner call in between

    Randolph has shown himself to be a very good keeper. Some nice saves.

    Thanks for that. Playing two games in seven days shouldn't be an issue. They do it at club level.

    Bull**** comparison. Did you seriously watch that Wales/Ni game?

    One of the problems for us is the amount of running we have to do because we don't keep the ball well enough or have enough of it especially against the better sides..

    Actually most of them have had 7 days more rest than us, they rested all the stars against Switzerland, the same players who are tearing us apart now.
