    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.

    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

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

    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

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    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.

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

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

    What the fcuk would you like them to do exactly??

    I didn't know there was a 'correct' way to support your team in this situation. Perhaps you could let us know what it is.

    Don't know why anyone is surprised there is a world of difference between the 2 teams. Good effort ireland but the talent just isn't there.

    If our tactic had been to push, the deficit would have been worse.

    Pathetic stuff from Ireland.
    Another stroke of genius from the FAI before a European Championships in giving yet another manager a contract extension before a ball has been kicked.

    I think people let themselves get carried away and set themselves up for a disappointment.

    Imo they are a few levels above us in term of quality and technical skill. We just don't have the options there. Look at our bench.

    I couldnt believe it when I seen it, but that sums up the attitude

    Any team at any level that negative deserves the thumping we are now getting

    I doubt we could beat a second string Italian team playing like this.

    I think he means sit at home at a computer screen! That's obviously how you support your team.
