    Not sure what the general conversion rate from penalty corners is but I’d guess they might have expected to score 1 out of the 3, or hoped to anyway. Otherwise all fairly positive so far I would think.

    I was reading that Ireland failed to produce a single penalty corner against India so you can already see this is a huge step up in performance

    Irl the better team in the first half, we will need to maintain the effort and concentration, keep the pressure on the Spanish. The right side is being rightly targeted by Irl.
    4-0 on penalty corners, the pressure will hopefully lead to a second.

    Bit of a storm to be weathered here perhaps.

    Sloppy play leads to the goal, preventable!

    Not just the goal itself, overall Irish play for the previous few minutes was loose and scrappy

    Just seemed to lose all their rhythm and fluency, under extreme pressure it has to be said. Just need to lift it for a grandstand finish, empty the tank, leave nothing out there!

    Both teams going for it, looks like neither want a shoot out

    Last 10 will surely see both teams cough up chances as they both go for it.

    One good sign is this is a much improved Irish quarter on Q3

    Spain down to 10 should help us put the pressure on till the end.

    We have the better keeper, with a bit of luck the one on ones will go well.

    This sport has a weird way of taking penalties.:eek: It's a wonder anyone ever scores if the goalie is any way competent...
