Three points is dead, but I can still win two.

An Italy that can't defend a 1-0 lead for more than three goddamn minutes is an Italy I want no part in supporting. Angry

Meh, such a short-lived joy. Tongue

But in fairness, it was a decent performance. We managed to give serious problem to the incumbent champion (even though the end of the match was clearly in Spain's favor) and if we play this way in the next two matches we can have an easy way to qualification. Promising. Smiley

I live in front of the Sahara coastline so Western Sahara is an appropiate country for me.

Now for the game we've all been waiting for. Never underestimate Ireland. We have a history of upsets in football, rugby (Australia last year) and even cricket (England last year, Pakistan a few years ago).

And, of course, you should have qualified for the World Cup.

Real possibility we won't concede more than one goal in the pool, but then again we mightn't score a goal.

Personally, if I could make sure one team would get into the second round, it'd be Ireland. (This on the centuries old basis that the underdog is always the one you want to support.)

Disgraceful.


And excellent goal by St Ledger.

What a tournament so far. If it stays like this the remainder, I owe Poland and Ukraine a big apology.

Not going 100% with tipping today. Sad

If it ends in a tie now, Croatia and Ireland will be tied with Italy and Spain but will technically be ahead due to goals scored (not that it matters at this point).

This sucks. Looks like we'll have to at the very least beat Italy.

Diving is the absolute worst thing about the sport, IMHO. Certain nations, cough, have seemed to refine that aspect of the game and turned it into an art form.  You would have thought there was a sniper in the stands.
