    Spain might get tired from the amount of attacking they have to do. Clever tactic by Ireland

    Keeping this at 1 nil would be a result if this is anything to go by.

    Oh come on though. It's not as if it's the same team. Edit: that sounded fierce grumpy. Sorry bout that :D

    As I said elsewhere, we're relying on Keane, Dunne, Duff & Given. All of whom went to Korea 10 years ago. Though Dunne never played.

    Man I'm old :(

    If its actually 1-0 at half time we're still in with a chance.

    I suppose a bit of blind optimism never did anyone any harm. :D

    Don't want to create a negative vibe or anything, but I've just recalled a commentary I listened to way back in the early 1960s. Ireland was playing Spain in Seville and the legendary Philip Green (who died just over a year ago) was doing the commentary in his inimitable style.:)

    The phrase that he spoke and has stuck in my mind ever since was this: "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, goal number six for Spain. And this city of oranges is certainly proving a bitter lemon for Ireland tonight.":eek:

    Let's hope for better in the next couple of hours.:D

    Every time an irish player gets the ball he's hitting the panic button.

    True, but I like the way they fight and continue to fight.

    We aren't playing well at all, our midfielders are allergic to the ball. Duff seems to be the only one making any effort.
