Yes they do.
Tonight’s gonna be a shit night.
Ireland had no idea how to mark Griezmann. And made no effort to fix it.

I’m gutted.
Incredible pride in those boys. A team that is easy to love. They may lack quality but they never lack effort. A missed opportunity but our minds were shattered when needed and they skipped in for the goals.
Dunphy talking tubbish. It wasn’t the first time Duffy and Keogh played together.
The fact the scorer was in half an acre of space unmarked should also be acknowledged
Bar Italy & Spain, has any other team really got a World class pairing? They are at their weakest in that sector alright but their attacking options are really really good.
They will gain massive confidence & momentum from that performance.
That greaseman looks a right cunt.
Tiredness killed us.
They coasted through their last match last Sunday whereas we had to go flat out and then some on Wednesday.

The worst thing about it all is that the game was there to be won, the red card killed any chance of us getting back into it, I think. But it was the 2nd goal that killed it, Duffy shouldn’t be going for that but where were the players covering?
It was a dreadful goal to concede so close to the first goal. I think if we don’t concede, we get a chance to settle and we don’t get the red card necessarily. McClean really should have squared to Murphy it too.
France were much better after that and should have scored more. We tried hard but we looked absolutely fucked at the end, no one closing down. But they looked vulnerable and if we had just been a bit calmer at the right times, we could have got a 2nd. Wes was not good at all when he came on. Really poor in fact, just didn’t make the right decisions which is what he’s there for.

The Giroud flick for the second goal and through ball for the sending off were top class.

Shit phrasing from Tony O’Donoghue there.
Big factor alright. That little bit of space was the difference between France struggling and France lording it.
The sooner Giles & Dunphy are put to pasture or led humanely to the abattoir the fucking better.

We needed a second goal, really. Like 2009.
Brady is as weak as piss in the challenge. Hendrick and McCarthy went awol in the second half. Overrun In the second half in midfield.
Huge factor
I’d prefer a defender with balls and heart like Duffy any day rather than a gesturing, gesticulating beanpole like O’Shea.

McCarthy and Hendrick looked shot in the second half. Duffy and Keogh will bear the brunt of the second goal but McCarthy and Hendrick weren’t alive to the danger that time - moreso McCarthy.

Hendrick was fucked, ran himself ragged.
Brady isn’t a central midfielder really, certainly not a defensive one, he’s never really offered much in the tackle. He does try at least.
