Euro 2016 - Ireland v Belgium

Were we this bad at home to Germany? I thought we were fucked at half time in that game too.

You’d have to fear that eventually Belgium will get through. Everyone bar the keeper and back four defensively have been mediocre for us.

They’re number 2 in world rankings pal

i think i feel a stroke coming on

We might hang on to a nil nil but when a team is so dominant they generally get a goal at some stage. We should be doing a lot better on the ball

Good performance from Ireland so far . Very negative, but they haven’t really cut us open. We are here for a point and that’s it. Anyone complaining about negativity would want their head examined

@croppy_boy has just called a random shop in Antwerp and given them abuse. FNAC in Antwerp refusing to apologise for Belgium colonial past and how they are behaving on the pitch today.

We gave up way more chances against Germany from memory.

Alright so far but you’d be worried. Two golden chances to set up one on ones squandered but been solid enough in our own half.
Gonna be a long second half

A boy @croppy_boy take the fucking fight to them. Is it any wonder their country is crawling with jihadis.

Think you are wrong. We need someone who can strike the ball. I think they are average enough at the back and capable of mistakes. We are just about 10 meters too withdrawn i think.

Clarke is right to give out there. That was not followed up at all.

Belguim are average at the back and their midfield is average on the turn.

Belguim only want to play one way, they look like a team who are in “if it happens it happens” mode. Bar De Bruyne, who is really working hard for them.

Tell that to the tfk analysts kid.

Matty_Hislop June 18, 2016, 2:04pm 232

Very bright start to the second half. Then hit on the fucking break

cmontofuck June 18, 2016, 2:04pm 233

Shit. In big trouble now.

Fuxxake Whelan.

Lads here still “happy” with this performance and tactics?

De Bruyne is running the show!

backinatracksuit June 18, 2016, 2:05pm 238

Fuck sake, I was just beginning to believe after that free kick delivery as well, DeBruyne is a super player, world class.
We’ll have to play now and will probably lose 3 or 4 nil.

caoimhaoin June 18, 2016, 2:06pm 239

No coolness in our play. That was all panicked.
Hendrick held back initially as well.

Was it Brady or McCarthy dived in? Dreadful play.

Steven_Naimsith June 18, 2016, 2:06pm 240

Maybe we will WAKE THe FUCK UP now
