Serbia were pretty clinical in qualification. Surprised at those odds.Quote:

Unneccessary inflamatory article in the indo today critising Doolin and been derogatory to the players left in the squad. Whatever the rights and wrongs now is not the time to discuss it with the tournamant about to start
Who is it by?Quote:

There's quite a long article in the magazine section of the Sunday Independent debating the level of interest in the Irish soccer team, compared to rugby and golf (seriously, golf) in the national psyche, where John Delaney's salary is quoted as €420,000. Elsewhere in the same paper, it's mentioned as €450,000. Whether it is or it isn't, or if he deserves it is a debate for another day, but some level of consistent reporting would help!
And the girls U17 world cup - very entertaining it was too.Quote:

There will be family members there too. We had about 100 fans in Turkey in 2008 for the U17s but my 2 mates and me were the only ones without connections to the players.Quote:

Good man. Understandable about Limerick Vs Monaghan also, I havent ruled out a crafty Ryanair for that one myself yet.Quote:

Yeah was in tongue-in-cheek re.TF but admire your, er, collective dedication. Have to say a week or so in Bucharest doesn't really appeal, mind.Quote:

We know.
It still doesn't appeal though.
Romania preview:

Kane Ferdinand will seemingly be known as Kane Ferdinand McGovern for the tournament.

I assume McGovern is his father's surname.Quote:

I can't see any sign of UEFA streaming the games on their site either. Ireland's game with Romania on Tuesday the 26th will be televised on Romanian television, so I'd be hopeful of a stream for that. Of course, Eurosport are televising the one this Saturday against the Czechs. Both those games are at 5PM Irish time. Kick-off against Greece is at 7PM Irish time.
Will we be wearing the new jersey then?
Part Four, Ireland:

according to fai.ie - http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...id=4&Itemid=12 - there will be highlights on EuroSport after the Romania - Czech Republic game
Quote:
Ireland kick-off their UEFA Championship finals campaign against Greece on Wednesday at 9pm (local time.) Highlights of the game will be available on Eurosport following the other game in Group A between Romania and Czech Republic which kicks-off at the same time.
Anyone know how big Egan is? He looks like a brute! I know there is high hopes for him down below.
He's the son of former Kerry GAA all-star John Egan.
That he is.Quote:

Streams for the opening game between Spain and Belgium at 5PM this evening will be available here: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?ma...78&part=sports
Might be worth keeping an eye on Spain as they're strong favourites to win the competition outright. They might even play some nice football too.
Hopefully, links for the Romania-Czech Republic game in our group will appear here at some point later: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?ma...79&part=sports
Apologies lads, I can see the confusion now, what I meant to ask was how big is Egan (physically - not organ-wise geysir)?
The Score's preview:
"Ireland enter the competition as something of an unknown quantity." Good Lord.

Spain - Belgium stream:
http://nwxyz2.blogspot.com/p/channel-2.html
1-0 Spain at the moment. But the players are off the pitch because of thunderstorms and fork lightning.
Good passing move, bit lucky at the end but Morata from Real Madrid scored from 6 yards.
Half-time between Serbia and Turkey. Score is 0-0 in that. What's happening with the Spain-Belgium game then? Are they hoping to continue play this evening?
