Well we are where most people expected us to be. At the bottom of a very tough group. Qualifying from the group was always going to be a longshot. We all knew that.
Just disappointed that we picked the first game of the championships to start making uncharacteristic mistakes. Very unlike us under Trap to concede such soft goals. Shay doesn't seem right at all. I have never seen him go down so slow as he did for the first goal. Normally he would have thrown his hat on a not very powerful header like that.
Combine that with a few decisons that went against us such as the foul on Ward that caused him to slice his clearance for the second goal and the stonewall penalty on Robbie not given and it was a very frustrating evening's viewing. Croatia are better than us as it is but they also had all the luck going tonight. Maybe we used up all ours in Moscow.
Wish Trap would let the team play a little bit more though. We seem to play best when we go behind and if we draw level we retreat back into our shells again.
