every off season it is all about hanging onto our players and now coach

[OzKo]

Magical stuff from the Irish fans.

[slyhunter]

Whelan and Andrews were horrific, completely out of their depth against Spain

Dunne and Given are a joke

What did he do wrong?

[slyhunter]

Should have saved Torres' first goal, but admittedly was a tough save

Punched back the ball to Silva for Spain's second which was inexcusable

[OzKo]

Owen to Stoke.

[JT145]

Owen to Stoke.

I don't think he'll get much time there either. Should move to a Championship club where he'll actually do something

[slyhunter]

He's quite content at just being able to stay in the top flight (re Man Utd)

Also England thriller, who would've predicted that

[OzKo]

spain have become very predictable in all honesty

[lpower3]

spain have become very predictable in all honesty

they're still virtually unbeatable though. italy are probably the closest anyone has come to beating them at a competitive level in recent history. by playing a high line of defence (a massive risk against spain) italy, virtually tried to fight fire with fire and to be fair they probably deserved the win.
still don't know why del bosque played a 4-6-0 against them though :s

[slyhunter]

not really, italy carved spain open a number a times and probably should've won and then croatia probably should've beaten them

can't really consider their win over ireland since the irish were more than disappointing

possession is all well and good but they've lost their end product and it's goals that win you games

[LOL™]
