It's an amazing stadium.
Our football team doesn't actually play there though.
The Gaelic football and hurling championship finals are held there every September.
They are amateur sports but still get 80,000 sellouts for the knockout stages.

England have only played 1 game so far. Don't get ahead of yourself.
The script seems to just write itself

Yeah learnt a lot about the Gaelic sports and the controversy about English sports being played there. Interesting stuff. But yeah it's an awesome ground.
You could score a bazillion, still wouldn't help.
Rules in case of even number of points:
1/ Most points in games between involved teams. If Croatia and Spain draw, and Italy wins against Ireland, all three teams will have a draw against the other two teams (3 each), so on to next tiebreaker.
2/ Best goal-difference between involved teams. Three-way tie, with ties in all three games? On to next tie-breaker.
3/ Most scored goals in games between involved teams. If Croatia and Spain tie with 2+ goals each, those two teams win this tiebreaker against Italy.
Only after that will the tiebreaker involve best goal difference in all three games of the group stage.
TT changes are very entertaining <3

Thanks Kabouter, i'm loving the changing titles!
I'm happy that the Irish fans are above stupid shit like this. I haven't seen a more appreciative, grateful and unwaveringly positive crowd during this tournament, and they were cheering for a team of players that still held their heads up high in any situation and gave all they could instead of whining and complaining over every tackle like the diva-infested major teams.
Ireland, you have my deepest respect.
this is by far the best one so far, haha.
How graceless of you.
Italy experienced that in 2004 when Denmark - Sweden tied 2-2 in third round.
They got annihilated but daaaamn, they do have some amazing fans.
I have a question, are there any Dutch around? I wonder how trustworthy "Volkskrant" is? Because apparently they broke news that the racism story last week (black Dutch players targeted by monkey noises) was actually made up. I'd really like to now, as this was one of the incidents I was really ashamed by.

So based on this, Italy can win and can go through with either a Spain or Croatia victory OR a 1-1 tie? If it is a 2-2 tie then Italy do not make it through.
Am I correct here?
That's actually not so bad chances for Italy. Still sucks to have to rely on other teams. Our own fault.

What did he say?
I turned off after the match, what's he saying?
John Dunbar
correct about everything
yup. 2-2 confirmed, sorry italy.
Thanks for this! Now let's hope Spain will beat Croatia and that Italy remember how to keep an advantage

We call it "the Danish Biscuit".
Being a real negative Nancy. "These players think they're good. They're not"

to be fair, it's not like it's all that to win the world cup and euro back to back.
Great work on that! Love the current title. Irish fans <3
They were talking to one of the Irish players on the pitch who was saying how great the support was at the end and they cut back to Roy Keane in the studio who says the team should do more and not just expect fans to come to games for a sing song.
I don't know what he expected the guy to say.
I have to agree, the fans were great, with all the fighting, flares and racist crap that is present in EURO2012, it was wonderful to see fans singing and having fun despite of their team playing a crap game. Loved the pic with the Spanish and Irish fans playing foosball
It's called loyalty.
Tbh, I'm satisfied with us being at the championship....

Croatia will not score 2 on Spain. No chance in hell
I don't see Casillas let Croatia score him two goals xD.
That is your opinion, but if I was Irish, I would be looking at Croatia and Denmark and asking why we couldn't at least be performing up to their level.

Nice thanks. I actually like Italy's chances if they make it through as the Group C runner up and play whoever wins Group D.
Because they're both better than Ireland

Bet365 are offering 7/1 on Ireland DNB vs Italy. Will stick €10 on that
Ireland to Win is just 9/1 on the smae site, so DNB seems very high to me.

I don't think Croatia is a good example tbh.
They're a genuinely good team.
We don't have the quality, especially in midfield, to challenge the better teams.
German commentators suck, but this time they had at least the decency to shut up while the Irish were singing.
Tell me about it
....I'm trying to keep up with you for the gif in the op, its a full time job.
