to feel sorry for Ireland

in this football? It's just gone 4-0 to Spain and I'm feeling very sorry for the hoards of fans sat in the pissing rain watching their team being thrashed. Am I the only one?

Don't worry they will be drowning their sorrows with a few drinks later.
Mind you did expect a better show from the team.

No, not at all. The better team won..

We mightn't be much good at winning matches, but we can sing!!!

dottygirl1 · 14/06/2012 22:04

Ah sure at least they got there. It gave the country a boost.

The football is the least of our worries!! We should just accept that we can't play with the big boys for now. Especially big boys with banks recapitalised with EU money but without the austerity terms grinding Ireland into the ground.

Oh god it was just cruel.

scarletforya · 14/06/2012 22:18

It was a horror show. Sad

Well you should feel proud about how good there support are at singing now stop the last 10 minutes and even after the final whistle.

Spain didn't exactly play their best though so you could feel a bit sad but then Wales and Scotland didn't even make the finals soyou can feel pride again and Germany look invincible so the chance of España going all the way is not certain.

I agree it's great to have got there, but it's bloody unlucky to get the (statistically) number one team in the world in your group!

I hope they stay motivated against the Italians as that could end up being the decider for the group as to whomever puts the most past Ireland would be top and only meet Germany in the final, if España draw against Croatia. And the atmosphere seemed to be the best of all the matches so far.
