You need the old Euro Dance music with simple lyrics to set the tone. Think the Brits and Russians didn't get this in the post.

Oh they go it alright, it's just they both have a special neanderthal man layer that can't be penetrated:pac::p:D

Euro's question: Does anybody know how they decide where the four 3rd placed teams are placed in the draw?

It's destroying my brain.

Not to worry I have it now. UEFA have a table already made up with each combination of 3rd places and who they will play if that combination comes out. Confusing but my brain can now relax and get back to thinking about which new irons I'm going to get.

I'm not 100% but I think we play Croatia if we win today.

Better half of the draw. Easier route to the final

England have a tough route. They have Germany, Spain, Italy and France in their half of the draw

I hate Hodgson with a passion but think he is getting unfairly slaughtered for changing the team against Slovakia. Front 2 were the 2 that sorted the Welsh game. And people are always going mad about players being tired so he rests some and gets slaughtered. I thought what he did made sense and took balls....which amazed me I must say

Phenomenal

That was the best performance in years - now the italians were **** and their keeper was a joke.

But incredible stuff.

we genuinely deserved a result having played very well for what, about 150 minutes out of 270.

alxmorgan

Brilliant, just brilliant.
Well deserved. Best performance since hand of Henry game.....which given our next opponents is interesting.
Beat them and it's England. Country could grind to a halt !!!

Knew we would do it. Thanks Trap

Quality god why cant we play like that all the time!!!

Class tournament for Ireland - with a fairly limited squad with a tough tough draw in every match , we got the best out of it we could.

Delighted with Brady and Hendrick. Walters was a big loss.

We still lack a core team of top level players - but it was nice to be there rather than at home.

So - hopefully we get 2 - 3 more players in next few years and FAI continue to up their game with youth structure, I know they have been poor and the game in Ireland seems self competing and confused at the best.

And you know what, we played a mix of football at times that was enjoyable to watch.

The fan thing can be a bit tiresome at times, there are loads of amazing fans out there at Euros - but you know what - fair play , you need colour, characters and escapism in life.

France were top quality second half after a terrible first half performance. Light years ahead of us.

What can you do against that.

We had a great night against Italy. I'm grateful for that eternally. Like any tournament we enter you just expect one great night of extreme joy, wonder and hope.
We didn't get it 4 years ago we got it this year thankfully.

I love Ireland!

Not sure they were all that great. First goal was a free header and second was a terrible decision by Duffy who was otherwise very good which left Griezmann an open run in.

A terrible 10 mins cost us if you take the 2 goals and the sending off.
Still a good showing overall and so much better than 4 years ago

Very positive and much better showing of course but in my opinion when France needed to step up they did and we barely even touched the ball when we were chasing the game.

I can get my head around that McClean fella at all. At 2-1 he had a simple task of rolling the ball across the face of the goal for a tap in for Murphy I think and he just kicked it straight at a blue jersey. It was the easiest of passes and he couldn't do it... They went straight up the on the break and the red card happened.

Brexit from the Euros is a lot more enjoyable than Brexit from the European Union

Jesus - our loss to France - has a totally different perspective now.

Imagine getting knocked out of Europe twice in a matter of days. Once by Iceland and the other time by the people who shop there.

All the planing, design, politics, effort, engineering.

And the pool goes green.

Amazing the little things like water chemistry that can get you in the end.

As Pat Hickey was otherwise engaged last night I can't help but wonder if he was able to sell on his ticket to the closing ceremony. It would have been a shame to have let it go to waste
