This is interesting these results
Ireland can still and will improve so much once they learn from tonight
when they do then they can challenge to top the group:)

And Italy still drawing with Cyprus.
Draw good for us, yeah? I honestly feel after our next game we will have a good indication of where this group is going.
once we perform to a high level we have our fate in our own hands. We should not be relying on other results but concentrate on our own.
Trap should and I am sure is drilling this into the players.
Hoe he is livid after conceding the late goal.
Have to cut that out as it happens too often for Ireland in qualifying games
no whipping boys in this group, only good thing is, lots of teams will drop points. we need a good result on wed, i fear the worse tho.
we should be good enough.
if cyprus hang on here against the italians it would be great.:D
Draws all round would be excellent results for us.
It will leave us two points clear at the top of the group!!
I just hope Cyprus can hold on for the next 30 mins or so.
Cyprus Italy here:-

Unlucky,but we are better team.I know that know.These Bulgarians does not play football.They are only defending.We should be able to beat them away.Surelly they will not have referee support like this.
Ireland,prepere yourself for defeat;)!Our offense is stroooooong!
cyprus look more likely to win it at the moment.
di'natale looks a smashing player, he's going to be a handful.
this is gonna be a nail biter of a group. A draw in the montenegro game is a good result for us too, so far so good, we'll be top of the group!!:)
when cyprus attack they get serious numbers in the box!
Good results for us so far. Staunton must be in charge of Italy. :D
Seriously though, can't see Cyprus holding on.
France pull a goal back in Austria. Paraguay 1-0 up in Argentina.
70 mins gone 1-1 : COME ON CYPRUS!! ye jammy feckers!!
:Dhoh hoh hoh!! off the line!
I've a feeling Italy will sneek one
The young fella Christofi just bottled a great chance.
They'd want to hurry up! 15 to go.
Edit - Austria 3-1 France!
cyprus cleared one off the line, and have just gone very close from a corner, this is a great game to watch by the way.
:( tight group would make it hot favourite to be one where 2nd placed team doesn't get play-off spot, imagine Italy not goin to 2010 to defend their title:D
Austria gone 3-1 up, France shoulda sacked Domenc
1-1 with 7 minutes left to go, c'mon Cyprus!
Ten man Argentina equalise.

oh my god, what do cyprus have to do to win this, they are thundering in the shots on goal. italy are under pressure.
place yer bets now for a cheeky goal.....................
Our 5:2 defeat looks like a decent result based on this game :D
Cyprus a good bet to qualify? If they get their away record together they could spring a real suprise.
I love Group 8 :D
cheeky cheeky cheeky!
The least surprising last minute goal of all time (2-1 Italy)
NNNNOOOOOOOOOO:mad:
they didnt deserve that at all. but thats the thing with teams like italy and germany, they always manage to get that goal.:(
Amazing goal all the same but Cyprus were robbed. This could turn out to be a great result for us.
Why are teams like this so feckin lucky
Cyprus are a lot better than Georgia
