Our balls have been scrabbling for our spine since scoring and that is an idiot decision from clark

Hopefully we revert to our prior form now its level again and score late cos we sure as fuck cant defend a lead
Kinda self fulfilling, Ireland was so timid ever since they went in front.

Xp otm
yeah well look lads if anyone had thought to ask a Villa fan what happens when you let Ciaran Clark join in we could've told you
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 17:32 (eight years ago) link
frankly amazed that anyone was brave enough to select a Villa player for this tournament at all, low confidence doesn't quite do it justice
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 17:33 (eight years ago) link
Now weve a game plan again
Totally bizarre

At this point it feels Ireland should cherish a point, but they really should've nicked this.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 13 June 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link
Nah i think we're more likely to score and have been clearly better apart from every second of our lead.
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Monday, 13 June 2016 17:46 (eight years ago) link
No doubt youse been better.

Taking off houlihan while leaving the booked and useless whelan mccarthy combo was a strange one but wes hasnt got ninety minute legs tbf

Clark well out of his depth alright. But weve nursed worse centre halves through tournaments before

Otoh 100% predictor score today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enjoyed this, v positive performance from Ireland.
Unlucky lads, I'll take me 40 points tho

At one time I was nearly cheering another Irish goal, but forty points is forty points.

lol i am doing terribly at the predictor thing. i have plumped for 0-0 in tonight's game which on current suggests that we're gonna be on for a 7 goal thriller

Imagine being Belgium and still playing Fellaini.
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:26 (eight years ago) link
Also how shit do your fullbacks need to be for you to consider breaking up the Alderweireld-Vertonghen partnership, especially with Kompany out.
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:27 (eight years ago) link
yeah that does seem an odd one but then otoh i guess all of Italy's problem players are gonna be in the wide areas so mebbe you'd prefer to have your best defenders out wide? idk clutching at straws here really, i agree with you, toby/jan/thibaut promises to be a defensive combo unmatched by any except Italy and possibly Spain in this comp., would be daft not to play them together
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 18:39 (eight years ago) link
Alternative Belgium left-back is Lukaku's younger brother iirc. I'd be more worried about the guy playing for Montreal who's starting tbh.
If Lukaku is still in the form he finished the season with, and the alternative is Benteke, they might struggle. Would be good to see Batshuayi, Dembele and Carrasco at some point.

by "all of Italy's problem players" i apparently meant Candreva, seeing as Insigne isn't in the team tonight and Darmian is on the right. And fuckin Fellaini in the hole for Belgium. this game could be total dogshit

Eder is really unconvincing. Pelle has been the only real goal threat in the last couple of matches i've seen.
Again, lots of options on the bench with El Shaarawy, Insigne, Bernadeschi, Zaza, etc.

Feel like given we're all expecting this to be poor it's primed to throw up surprises
― The Brexit Club (Noodle Vague), Monday, 13 June 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah, i was living in Rome for a few months after Xmas this year following the team quite closely and it was very cool seeing El Shaarawy come back into form at last, I hope he gets some time in these Euros.
