If we count them down like this we'll have won it in no time.

That might get a bit boring..eh..58

Not really. The French tend to sulk and retreat when they're losing. Slightly different in front of the home crowd though...maybe...

Ah don't mind me Father, if I knew anything about soccer I'd be on the Soccer Forum.

So many free kicks!

There will be 15 minutes extra time for the first half

It's kind of a sh1t match really, isn't it?

Boo all ye like, this is pay back for 2009 and it is a bitch.

Bit early in the game for slowing things down this much in fairness

As long as we stay ahead is pretty great

3 min of injury time would be acceptable

Are we talking the number of free kicks or minutes extra?

Is Ribery not involved with France these days? And Benzema?

I'm delighted with the goal but scoring against a team like the French this early is like kicking a sleeping lion. They're awake now and they're pissed off.

Statements like this are silly.

"well lads, we weren't planning on playing to the best of our abilities or winning the game or anything but now that these ****ers have scored, let's play well!"

Nah they're pricks so better off having them not there.

Ribery for mutiny in 2010 and Benzema for some teammate sex tape thing

Fair play to Ireland...I taught it would be desperation stuff with last gasp defending etc

Very happy so far.

Ideally, id like Ireland to win but if they don't, man, they fought well in the first half.

Hope they keep the aggression, sense of urgency and effort up.

Hope the same Irish team comes out after half time, its been steady enough since the first few minutes

KERSPLAT!

Brilliant bar a few times giving them too much time just outside our box, you cant give Payet, etc that much time, they'll get it right eventually and punish us. Push out and put 'em under pressure
