Work your magic, Zlatan. Mourinho will be watching.

 

[B-Dubs]

Work your magic, Zlatan. Mourinho will be watching.

He's going to score on a bicycle kick from midfield, except the only point of contact will be the tip of his pinky toe. It is known.

 

[painey]

ROI kit right out of the 90's

 

[johancruijff]

man Isaksson is still playing

 

[gutter_trash]

the Swedes are so tall

ROI kit right out of the 90's

Let me guess, your own team played yesterday and got wasted by Poland.

C'mon Ireland!!

 

[CoolOff]

The pitch looks slippery as hell.

 

[protomouse]

Nu kör vi.

 

[Oriel]

McCarthy you clod!

 

[gutter_trash]

wasted Corner

 

[johancruijff]

Uh Berg is pronounced Beri?

 

[Steve.1981]

Work your magic, Zlatan. Mourinho will be watching.

My fingers are crossed that particular deal is already done.

Based on the first 10 minutes, there could be more than a few tough tackles in this game.

 

[Shito]

The pitch looks slippery as hell.

Rained a lot on Paris yesterday.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Ouch that hurt.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Uh Berg is pronounced Beri?

No. It's pronounced as you would expect.

 

[gutter_trash]

 

[Brinbe]

So close O'Shea

 

[Fistwell]

How do you fucking miss that is he high or drunk???

 

[Oriel]

HOW did O'Shea miss that?!

 

[Steve.1981]

Oh for god sake O'Shea...

 

[Jack cw]

Sweden pls. That was close.

 

[Jack cw]

Zlatan already in Euro league mode.
Damn, I think I'm gonna watch the Microsoft E3 presser now.. 10 minutes :/

 

[Kroole]

Uh Berg is pronounced Beri?

No. G is pronounced as a j.

 

[TheJoRu]

Zlatan pls.

EDIT: Some of these Swedish passes are just terrible.

 

[Eric_S]

lol Sweden lol.

Passing isn't what it should be, both the pace and the precision of it. And we are too Zlatan focused. And the defence is ... ahem.

The only silver lining is that Ireland isn't looking too hot either.

*Ed* skip that last part, beautiful strike that got stopped by the post there */Ed*

 

[Oriel]

Oh FFS!

 

[ksan]

jesus

 

[Steve.1981]

Ireland knocking on the door!

 

[Oriel]

I have a feeling we're going to rue missing so many chances.

 

[Steve.1981]

That was a lovely shot from Hendrick.

 

[caramac]

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Zlatan is the Mike Tyson of football. Not a single good win on his resume.

 

[paperboywriter]

Punch gif pls

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Ugh, Swedish team is just so bad.

This isn't good enough

 

[CelticKnight]

Long, it's not the officials fault you fell over...

 

[Oriel]

Take McCarthy off. Talk about a liability.

 

[dealer-]

Sweden haven't turned up, Ireland should be ahead.

 

[kottila]

Sweden is awful, Scandinavia should have sent their best team instead

Spoiler

Norway

 

[Meier]

Sweden need Super John.

 

[Steve.1981]

Yeah that's a poor first half from Sweden, and a good first half from Ireland.

 

[CelticKnight]

Fair play, so far the football on display today has bored me shitless.

 

[Oriel]

Sweden were woeful in that half, they are lucky it's still nil all. Come on Ireland, put this game away.

 

[eddie4]

I almost fell asleep watching the first half.... step it up guys. Looking forward to the BEL v. ITA game.

Norway

their best team is there.

Spoiler

iceland

they're so good they were upgraded from a nordic country to a scandinavian one.

 

[MrKaepora]

Nice game by Ireland.

Sweden will have to step up their game and don't be so Ibra dependent.

Boring day so far, hopefully Belgium and Italy save us.

Iceland not a part of Scandinavia though. Face it Danes, we are the best Scandinavian team.

@jellingworth
Russian Football Union board member told me he won't condemn Russian fans, argues French should have put tanks on the streets in Marseille.

On a positive side Ireland have played well so far. Come on Long!
