Will just go for the latter and say we'll lose to Croatia, draw with Spain and beat Italy.
And narrowly be eliminated by a point or goal difference.
Which at least, financially, would be a relief...

draw draw draw. 0-0, 1-1, 2-2 as we become more attacking.
No way will there be 4 goals in Ireland v. Italy, surely? Though there was at Croke I suppose.
Croatia 1 Ireland 1 , Spain 1 Ireland 1, Italy 1 Ireland 2 followed by a trip into the Quarter Finals
0-0, 0-4 and then a dramatic 3-2 win over Italy that gets us into the quarters. I'm only going to the first two games so I won't really enjoy my trip.
you will stutts.
I think we will beat Italy, 1-0.
I'm staying in the same hostel as you. I won't.Quote:

Spain 7pts / Italy 5 pts / Ireland 2 pts / Croatia 1 pt
I honestly think we'll score no goals, and get 1 point against Italy.
Ireland 2-1 Croatia / Italy 0-2 Spain
Ireland 0-0 Spain / Italy 0-1 Croatia
Ireland 2-0 Italy / Spain 3-0 Croatia
Spain 7, Ireland 7, Croatia 3, Italy 0
we'll definitely score, it's rare that we don't score under Trapattoni, even against the top seeded sides in qualifyingQuote:

Definitely.
I like the look of those clean sheets.Quote:

Ireland 1 - 0 Spain / Croatia 2 - 2 Italy
Ireland 0 - 3 Croatia / Spain 3 - 1 Italy
Ireland 1 - 1 Italy / Spain 3 - 0 Croatia
Some things are obvious:
Spain beats Italy but gets several injuries and Yellows, plays tentative vs a plucky Irish side,
and we beat Spain after beating the Cro-magnons
And It's a big party en route to round 2.
Trap airlifted to GDansk Hospital with Chest pains, Polish Doctors try to chear him up by telling tale of inventing solar powered flash light and screen door submarine.
Drunken Stutts and Tets slow dance together in town squre. Mortified when it shows up on Youtube a day later.
Paul O'Shea complains that Irish fans leave litter everywhere and he has to clean it up.
I can see the optimism for Italy and croatia, but why are you so sure against Spain?Quote:

I can pogo and mosh with the best of them, but that's all I have in my repertoire I'm afraid.
v Croatia tetchy 0-0
v Spain jammy 1-1
v Italy excruciatingly tense 2-1 victory with an Andrews wonder goal in the 87' min. We hold on with the most painful 3min + 4min added time ever. And then I'll collapse into a heap and it'll be all over and I'll have something to match the last 10min of the All Ireland final last year.
I'm actually shaking at the prospect of being correct.
My poor ticker.
Nothing like watching Ireland in tournaments is there?
Nothing.
I've got two stone on him, he'll damn well followQuote:

At least Ill be there, you'll be sat in Leeds/Bradford Airport muttering under your breath in some tattie munching culchie accent about 'being sure the flight left from here'.......
Dream Sequence...
Ireland 1-0 Croatia / Italy 0-2 Spain
Ireland 0-2 Spain / Italy 2-1 Croatia
Ireland 3-1 Italy / Spain 1-1 Croatia
Spain - 7; Ireland - 6; Italy - 3; Croatia - 1
setting up a 1/4 final clash with a surprisingly effective England side...
I think i just came in my pants.
Yes i did. A little bit. Or else its pee.
It's pee.
How are you gonna survive the Croatian?
ill slit her throat before she gets a chance to do the same to me. :)
So Junior is the one that lost the insulin that became famous on Ybig... People were practically putting up road blocks..
POSH looks like you need to stay sober based on litter patrol, podcasts, keeping Jr from going into sugar issues and judging Stutts and Tets alleged Tango. God Bless.
News to me!!
Croatia would finish second due to conceding less goals against us.Quote:

We go through on being drawn first out of a hat to play England as Ireland, Croatia and Italy all have the same points and goal difference.
In the quarter final we beat England on penalties as Wayne Rooney gets sent off early on for head butting Keith Andrews after he insults his mother.
We beat the Germans in the semis 1-0 as part of a pre match brokered deal to let us win with the expectation that the excitement generated by our further progression in the tournament will provide our economy with a much needed kickstart relieving the Germans of having to provide any further bailout cash.
Finally we beat Spain 1-0 in the final after the Spanish economy collapses and Real Madrid and Barcelona fold devastating player confidence and inflaming the tensions between the Catalan and Madrid players.
0-1 to Croatia (we'll concede late)
0-3 to Spain
2-1 win over Italy to restore pride.
0-0 draw v Croatia
0-1 loss v Spain
1-0 win v Italy
Ire 2 Cro 0
Ire 0 Spa 0
Ire 1 Ita 2
ireland to come second on goal difference
