    This tournament was the country's last hope. There's no reason to go on now.

    what do you want us to do exactly? should I go to work tomorrow or is the world going to end after the game?

    Trap should've gone to basic coaching school.

    You're saying that the one of the most successful managers in Italian top league football, a man that's won 10 league titles as a manager in 4 different countries, a manager who has a European Cup & two UEFA Cups under his belt, should have gone to basic coaching school?

    Because of one poor Irish performance in the Euros?

    Fucking hell.

    Just because Carl Lewis could run 100 meters in 9 seconds in 1991 doesn't mean he can now.

    Something similar happened at the end of the Premier League. I ... I don't know if it's going to happen this time.

    You mean, how come a poor Western European country be beaten by a poor Eastern European country?

    Possibly because the Croatians have much better players would be the answer.

    But nobody's even heard of Croatians until a couple of years ago. I sure as hell didn't know they existed until recently. I mean how is a poor Eastern European country nobody's heard of supposed to get good players? I think this is all a ploy by the European Commission to prop up these Balkan countries' standing when they join the EU. There has to be foul play involved here someone. The Euros are already very politically influenced.

    A draw and a win from the last two would be more than enough.

    Jesus. They're not poor. They're not eastern European. And they came from Yugoslavia, who were a pretty good team back in the day.

    Let's face it, they couldn't keep possession if they were on the pitch alone.
