Why does the new jersey look like a northern Ireland one ? Is that how we're getting all the players to switch?
Should have been a peno - kelly on the wrong side totally
Total peno. Ref should apply for a job in the LOI.
should be two penalties. very sloppy so far.
Nice dribble down the wing by Sledge there
very sloppy stuff in defense and attack. Watching here with my Croatian (soon to be) father in law...
Thanks!
Jayus, Modric is some man.
decent last 5 or 10 mins but poor before that, playing like the away side. at least one of those were pens, probably both.
Shane Long's first touch is fantastic. He's plucked a couple of long balls out of the sky this half.
Unlucky Robbie, shown some nice movement so far.
We started very slowly but we've come into the game in the second quarter. We're creating the better chances despite having less of the play, although Croatia look dangerous despite their lack of a final ball. Apart from being better technically than us, the Croatians players look like they've been back playing a few weeks longer than ours. Duff, likewise, looks the least rusty for us.
i'd probably prefer if one of the pens had been given and scored (or both given and one saved!) to see how we'd respond. first 15 mins of the second half should be interesting before the usual raft of substitutions that these games promise takes place.
wouldn't mind seeing cox, treacy and clark given a run i guess but i've no real desire to see keogh.
elsewhere, norn iron scored early but aren't setting the world alight in leading the faroes 1-0 at HT. russia beat the serbs 1-0, slocakia 2 up away to austria, germany 0-0 v brazil at the break and the swedes a couple of minutes away from a goalless draw in the ukraine.
Watching on ESPN3 here in the US. They are using the Jimmy Magee/Kenny Cunningham commentary (watch out for that on the RTE highlights later).
At half-time they left the microphones on so I was treated to some bizarre conversation about the music being played over the PA - Kenny seems to be a bit of a pop music trivia buff. He seemed very happy with Tears for Fears!
Darron gets in a full value yellow card tackle.
This game really is starting to look like a pre season friendly. A good few notches below competitive standard.
hunt has been poor tonight. busy as ever, and ok defensively but poor delivery and dribbling.
