If Ireland only tried to create something else in box except penalties, maybe they would've had their second goal of the match by now.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Diving time? Whatever it takes I guess

eh?

 

[Spring Drive]

😎😎😎

 

[paperboywriter]

Well deserved win. Greats France.

 

[Omega Kirby]

You threw it away Ireland.


Now France blocks our path le sigh

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Congrats to them.

 

[paperboywriter]

They are not even attacking the last minute of the game.

 

[Spring Drive]

Hon hon hon

 

[FDC1]

Pfff, that was stressful

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Griezmann please come to Chelsea

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Well can't say undeserved. Although Irleand should've had that corner kick.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Ireland played well this tournament, but France deserved the win.

 

[Brinbe]

France did what they needed to do.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

France goes through. No revenge for Ireland today.

So France awaits England or Iceland. If I were the French I'd hope England wins that game.

 

[Jamie OD]

Disappointed but I'm not mad. We did so much better than I expected.

 

[Divius]

Ireland doesn't really know how to attack it seemed.

 

[dragonbane]

Oh well, but I rather do Germany vs France than vs Ireland anyway.

 

[Alx]

gg to both teams.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Good for France, hope to see England win tonight, could be an interesting match XD.

England plays tomorrow.

 

[Mimosa97]

I want to congratulate Ireland for their tournament. You played with heart. It was a tough game. You almost got us today.

And farewell to the irish fans. You've won my country over. Thank you for showing us what being class acts means. Once again you've proved that you really are the best fans in the World.

 

[paperboywriter]

England plays tomorrow.

Got me all confused.

 

[Steve.1981]

Well played France. Ireland couldn't live with them when they went up a gear in that 2nd half. I'm sure the Italy game took a lot out of the Irish, but France deserved this win.

 

[Clegg]

France were good in the end, but I think this game showed why they won't win the tournament. Ireland are a technically limited side but gave their defence a bit of trouble. French back four isn't good enough.

Have to agree with you here.

[The perfect Dark]

Götze out but Draxler in....wtf
That's no improvement

If Hodgson stopped fannying about and settled on an XI then I could see England beating this France side, if they get passed Iceland.

 

[Black Republican]

welldone france

 

[tonka]

We should've scored more in the first half.
And in the infinite possibility space of the multiverse, how different would the match have been if we got that corner? Perhaps a lot perhaps a little
We needed to win in 90 minutes either way, I'm sure down a man and losing contributed, but the players were not going to last another 30 minutes judging from how they were at the end.
Hope France lose to Iceland, because we really should have punished them in the first half.

They won't win the tournament.

 

[Tubie]

Was a great game till that red card.

 

[Gurkenmeister]

The Boys in Green and their incredible fans can be proud. They played with heart and passion during this tournament. Well done!

 

[azyless]

Congrats on your tournament Ireland, we'll miss you and your fans

 

[Angel_DvA]

England plays tomorrow.

Yup, my bad ; )

 

[Steve.1981]

Think France will miss Kante in their next game, maybe badly. That defence needs some protection.

 

[Liamario]

Ireland was lucky they weren't beaten by much more. They both looked tired/disinterested in the end. The after game stats are embarrassing.

They were clearly tired, they had a shorter break and their first round was really hard while the French were clearly phisically better

 

[Black Republican]

Germany should have a win against Slovakia right?

Don't get me wrong, I think Ireland can do much better. The players are good enough, with the right coaching, to do something significant. The FAI is a farce of an organisation.

 

[Kilvin]

Would have liked to see Ireland pull of the win, but congrats to France on a deserved victory.

 

[Haunted]

Germany should have a win against Slovakia right?

That's exactly the kind of thinking that loses games.

We're the favourites, certainly. But every game needs to be played, we lost that friendly 4 weeks back... we need to be at the top of our game.

 

[Oersted]

They really got a helicopter to follow the german team.

Jeebus fuck

 

[Pacbois]

Maybe yeah, but I don't really blame them for still being tired from their game against Italy.

Today proved me right on the fact that France needed to be in actual danger to play well, they were clearly slacking off against Switzerland and even in the first half today. I hope they'll be ready and a 100% from the get go for the next game.

 

[Fistwell]

Yeah, we want England, bad.

Good game from Ireland, they fought hard and had the upper hand in the first half. 10 on 11, it was difficult to keep up physically, no matter how much heart they had. They looked exhausted by the end.

Rami and Evra can get fucked and should not be allowed within a 10Km radius of a blue jersey.

Was a great game till that red card.

Yeah the game was definitely better 11/11.

 

[Always-honest]

Well done France!
I'll miss the Irish fans but France was better and deserved to win in the end.

Hoping for France- England next.
Just for the card. Because Iceland is probably going to win if England continues to suck ass at soccer.

 

[Pacbois]

In a way I think I prefer England in the quarters, like I think it's a team that will give us more openings offensively. With our defense we really need to be more forward and attacking to stay alive because fuck Rami gave me 6 heart attacks today.

 

[Blablurn]

Götze out you say? His career, man. At least he still got gf, money and the world cup winning goal. He should just retire and live a calm life.

FUCK RAMI

fuck Rami

Don't worry, he'll come on for Draxler after Julian's done being ineffective for 60 minutes again.

 

[Baleoce]

Does anyone else here play the sun dream team? Got a question about a transfer I just made.
