[ATFC Seagull]

Nonsense. We'd never be able to put the ball on Richard Dunne's head for the winner with an angle like that.

 

[Elvis]

Reminds me of some of the Sunday league pitches I used to play on!

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

You're probably right.

I heard that tonight, Spain are playing with no strikers. Sounds like they're going to park the bus against the mighty Irish attack.

As though they haven't got enough problems they get a ref from Spains next door neighbours !

That's just a little too harsh - Ireland is my office sweepstake team!

[DumLum]

Spain looking like a team of Vicentes.

 

[bravohotelalpha]

bad luck.

Omg - doomed.

 

[Frutos]

Only 2 teams in the history of the European Championships have scored in the first 5 minutes of each half in the same game: Spain tonight against Ireland, and Croatia on Sunday against Ireland.

 

[Pavilionaire]

3-0 Torres.

To use an analogy from the movie "Scum", Ireland are in the potting shed and Spain fancy a burn.

 

[brunswick]

lets hope england win the group as spain would hammer us.

I wonder what the odds are on italy doing the same.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Fabregas. 4-0.

[Frutos]

Not to take anything away from the Spanish, but the Irish defending has been APPALLING tonight.

 

[mistahclarke]

Ireland are playing like an average team in a group with 3 of the top ten teams in the world. :spanked:
