150mb is feck all to be honest. Any kind of heavy use like watching videos and it'd be gone in no time.

Lord TSC

Guys, how much data is 150mb when it comes to the Internet? I have a nine hour flight coming up, and Virgin say they are offering wifi on some planes now. They say you get 150mb but I have no idea how much that is. Would it let me stream YouTube vids (Or the WWE Netwrok) for 9 hours or would it let me read ten Wiki pages before it looks for more money?

Sure we could easily finish 2nd with just 3 points now. I would 100% take a draw tomorrow to go into the last game in second against a team that would already have 1st secured. That's mostly because I think Belgium are better than they showed against Italy (not that that would be difficult).

Its certainly possible, Sweden seem shot shy and Belgium dont seem to be gelling together at all, with a shakey defense and nether team look creative at all.

Sweden are hardworking but they lack quality and seem to have only one aim (get the ball to Zlatan).

Belgium just look aimless. A host load of talent with no direction. The barely turned up at the WC and they appear to be doing worse so far. To be fair, Italy were fairly organised and defended well, and I wouldnt have the same faith in the Irish defense. But Belgium have to come out and play here after a defeat and with their shakey defense, I would say its not a crazy idea for Wes or Long to exploit them.

But I wouldnt rest on our laurels either. If we did get a draw in our next 2 games, Belgium or Sweden could very well beat eachother in the other final group game, giving them 4 points and moving us into 3rd spot. I really couldnt call a winner in the Sweden Belgium game yet.

maybe it's not 100% but imo 4 points will put a team through be that in 2nd or 3rd

I agree, it should, but there may be other teams who could have 4 points too and goal difference and goals scored could be a factor.

Its possible for all 6 groups to have a 3rdplaced them on four points. It looks very likely in both group A and B already.

If we beat em, were through. Even a draw would be a good result now though when you consider that the Italians will no doubt be rotating players in our game though of course you gotta hope they (Ireland) will be going for the win.

Not really, If Sweden win against Belgium and we lose to Italy and if Sweden have a better goal difference, we go third. Having 4 points in 3rd place should be enough to go through but its no certainty.

And while Italian players will be rested most likely, they players coming in will be wanting to stake a claim to start in the knockout stage.

bit of a brain fart from me ther not realizing that Belgium dropped points already. I reckon they will beat 1 of us or Sweden though, obviously I hope its the swedes after we have forced them to have to do or die in their final match by taking 1 or 3 points from them (1 more likely) tomorrow.

edit: boom Italy 1-0

suits Ireland down to the ground especially as we will facethem in the final game and they are now already true so may rest players and try to avoid suspensions for others.

I fancy us to take Bel, they look so unorganized and very flake despite having a host of talent. Too many individuals, no team spirit. Marc Wilmots, their manager, doesnt seem to be the right man to get the best out of this team.

What would happen re-3rd spot and potential qualifying for the next round via third (which could be possible with 3 pts and 0GD) if Ireland & Sweden both drew all 3 games?

not necessarily expecting that or anything but alphabetical order? R (Republic) before S?

Well at this stage if Sweden and Ireland both draw their games, they will finish 2nd and 3rd, with Belgium being last on 2 points. Goals scored would determine who get 2nd.

3 points can be enough to qualify for the 3rd place depending on goal difference.

Irelands faith is in their own hands. We are capable of getting results out of both Italy and Belguim. Both arent great by any means. I fancy our chances of getting 4 points out of those 2 games.

Happy birthday buddy.

I really hope the english media give hodgson the credit he deserves. Had the balls to make two changes at half time and it paid off. God knows he gets lambasted enough. Credit where its due!

I saw the footage of the new Zelda game at E3 and it looks gorgeous.

I mainly use my 3DS and haven't yet picked up one of the current generation of consoles, though I'm thinking I'll get one at some point this year. Just not sure which one to go for. I find the Virtual Reality hype looks interesting.

Would someone care to explain to me what e3 is in laymans terms please. Ive heard/seen lots of people talk about it but I have no clue. Is it a big deal in technology or something?

Its the biggest gaming convention in the world, and takes place once a year. Usually, game developers will reveal their biggest games at it, give information...its apparently very media heavy with most of the people there being journalists.

I just think it's cringeworthy to try to get oneself over as the best fans because it means the mentality is 'me, me, me' rather than 'support the team.'

And from a wrestling viewpoint it is actually harmful to the business when fans put themselves before the guys in the ring. When you're watching a real fight (and wrestling is supposed to be presented as real despite being fake) then you are supposed to be invested emotionally in one guy winning.

I watched a documentary on the Thrilla in Manila fight the other night and the audience weren't trying to get their chants in but were engrossed in what's going on. To quote Jim Cornette, wrestling fans standing for Jerry Lawler's comeback is a great crowd reaction and not a bunch of guys chanting 'We are awesome'.

But obviously not everyone seems to agree. On a brighter note I will say that the 'Stand up for the Ulster man' chant for the NI fan who died was a terrific gesture from our fans.

To me its not me,me,me. While I wouldn't indulge myself in antics I see it as how those fans like to express themselves moreso than them trying to be the bestest fans in the world ever. You are of course entitled to find it cringeworthy but to me I almost enjoy watching it.

On your wrestling viewpoint I agree with you 100%. Its entirely seperate to me.

The chant stand up for an ulsterman was a nice touch. Its as good a reason as any to say we really have special fans as a nation.( I'm most nations feel this way)
