That would be an annulment in that case.
Actually screw it... she gets Lorenzo, I get sport.

Eh..ignore this post
the preview of the spain team is pretty scary! They have some outstanding players it seems. Hope we can put on a performance like Greece, or the first 65 minutes against the Czech's.
Did Turkey not beat Spain 3-0?
Thanks all of you for all the TV tips. I didn't get to see it but will see the SF tomorrow.
Saw second half of Rovers in Copenhagen last night in O'Hara's in Pto Pollensa. Very impressed, but what a great chance missed to bag an away goal.
They did, although it must be remembered that Spain were already confirmed top of their group and qualified for the semi-finals. They may well have put out a "second string". I'm not sure, mind.
You should have seen the chances Sligo missed this evening in Ukraine. Three absolute sitters and two goals disallowed. Painful.Quote:

Turkey beat Spain 1.5. They rested six players.
Would Spain 1.5 not be better than Spain 1.0?
This was on the UEFA site tonight...

What could they possibly trying to say?
Spain are in line for the women's u17 Euro ladies title later this week as well. The little ladies play just like Barca.
It's all getting tediously predictable.
Our team have done astonishingly well to get this far.
Belarus, with a basic but cohesive, disciplined, hard working and skillful team, were a minute away from putting Spain (1/10 favs) out of the u21 semi final.
So who knows how this semi final game will pan out.
Precisely what I initially thought.
Anyone have TV links for this game for the expats who cant get rte :)
It's on Eurosport as well. Probably will have international access on their website.
I'm just about to stick the Czech Republic-Serbia game on. Sounds like it's a crazy game. It was 3-2 to the Czechs with 28 minutes gone after them having been 3-0 up by the 19th minute. It's approaching half time now.

They should point those microphones far away from the dugout.
Things have calmed down a bit. Beleive it or not, they've just passed an unprecedented half an hour without even a goal.
That Romanian summer evening sunset does provide a lovely backdrop behind the main stand, however.
the Czech coach can be heard from Ireland when the tv is turned off!
Ireland starting line-up:
1 Aaron McCarey (GK)
3 Derrick Williams
4 John Egan (C)
5 Anthony O'Connor
6 Jeffrey Hendrick
7 Samir Carruthers
8 John O'Sullivan
10 Conor Murphy
11 Anthony Forde
15 Sean Murray
18 Joseph Shaughnessy
And the subs: 16 Sean McDermott (GK), 9 Kevin Knight, 12 Kane Ferdinand, 14 Eoin Wearen, 17 Declan Walker, 19 Connor Smith.
I think the flood-lights have just gone out in the other game and the Serbia manager is making an issue of it but I think the ref's saying there's still plenty of evening light to play the last five or so minutes. If we get past Spain somehow, it looks like it'll be the Czechs again in the final. Still 3-2 up.
4-2 to the Czechs right on 90 minutes. Pretty much seals their place in the final.
RTÉ coverage has just started with Peter Collins, Noel King and Johnny McDonnell.
I hate that bleedin anthem.
Ah good oul Noel King. Every time I see him I think of the Aprés Match imitation of him ;)
First ten minutes Spain are dominating but Ireland look comfortable. McCarey just claimed well from a corner, which is good to see because he's been a bit dodgy on those the past two matches.
Lol, Egan even runs like his Da!
They've composed themselves well. Carruthers and Hendrick getting there feet on the ball well. Murray has the full back ****ting himself already.
Fantastic piece of tracking back there by Carruthers. I can see why they're raving about him.
1-0 Spain. A cracker. Was just about to type that Ireland were fairly comfortable too.
Oof, what a strike.
1:0 Spain.
That winger had too much room, it was a great strike though, as good as anything you seen at top level.
That was some goal. Pity as Ireland looked very comfortable.
Bad organisation at the back - Egan shouldn't have let O'Connor get dragged in so tight when the play was all in front of them. Still a belter of a gola mind.
has anyone got a decent stream with the RTE commentary? This American guy is winding me up.
excellent strike, Spain keeping loads of possession
Paul OShea is obviously worn out from all the Loi watching during the week :-)
Not RTE but it's British commentry sky sports, not great commentary but good enough.

2-0, game over.
