Ireland v Sweden

Another decent half chance. Great ball in by Brady

Well played lads

Jeff Hendrick is having a very good game, as he generally does in competitive fixtures for Ireland

Two average sides, we have been the better team though and have created the lions share of chances.

Hendrick and Brady have been the two best players on the pitch byba distance

In control here. I think we’ll sneak this 1-0

Ireland need to put em under pressure.

Sweden look quite limited, apart from Zlatan you’d think we should handle them. Should have one by now though. Coleman McCarthy and Walters all look off the pace. Glen Whelan his usual assured self.

That’s as good a half as I’ve seen from Ireland in any tournament we’ve qualified for.
Them yolla hoors will probably nick it with a poxy one in injury time.

Just finishing work. Thought it was an 8pm throw in. Fuck it anyway.

Liam Brady: “They’re not really ‘chances’. They’re shots that could have gone in.”

:clap:

The most positive performance I’ve seen from Ireland at any tournament. In total control.

Ffs sake

Not on any fcuking fm channels either :disappointed_relieved:

I would still worry about our central midfield. No attempt to get on the ball resulting in the ball back to Randolph and a hoof. Once we get the ball between our midfield and attackers we’ve looked reallly, really good. Hendrick, Brady and Hoolahan all combining well. But I hope those chances don’t come back to bite us as it would be a massive shame.

You don’t deserve to see it.

Playing really well. Obviously a goal or 2 would have been nice. Walters looks fucked. Well on top everywhere. Very pleasantly surprised.

Hendrick outstanding. Brady very good. @Big_Dan_Campbell you’ve mentioned Hooligan nit being in the game, I think he’s been very good, we hardly ever give him the ball though. Any time he does have the ball, he finds someone in space. Glenn Whelan has been solid. James McCarthy is going to get sent off.
Sweden are shit, they have nothing, which is why Ibrahimovic is coming so deep, with Whelan practically having a piggy back ride on him, great to see.
A few words about Seamus Coleman.
Send him fucking home or back to his fucking holiday, where he clearly wants to be and tell him his Ireland days are over. Lets get Cyrus Christie, who actually wants to play for us, on the pitch. Coleman’s a spoofer, that Martin Olsen prick (who has taken four foul throws in this half so far) is taking the piss out of him and Coleman has so far passed the ball forward twice in this half. It’s no wonder Walters has barely had a kick with that fool behind him.
Apart from that, more of the same please, we’re going to win this.

Italy in 94 the last time we played that well.

You’re probably right. In my defence I’m jetlagged as fuck after two weeks in the states and had to sort out a world of trouble waiting on my return.

COYBIG green.

Hendrick is looking like a world class player here.
