I think we need John McClean from Die Hard to knock off some of these olive lovers!

On this performance, I'd have Sammon starting against Sweden.

**tricky_colour** · 12/06/2013, 1:40 AM

come on

why take it fecking short? when we can't string 2 passes together?

**Charlie Darwin** · 12/06/2013, 1:44 AM

Think Randolph should have saved that.

**The Fly** · 12/06/2013, 1:44 AM

Beautiful goal. 2-0.

**DannyInvincible** · 12/06/2013, 1:45 AM

Bah, thought Randolph had that covered.

**BonnieShels** · 12/06/2013, 1:45 AM

All Sledge there.

**Charlie Darwin** · 12/06/2013, 1:45 AM

Anybody who thinks Spain weren't taking this game seriously should see how they celebrated that goal.

**SkStu** · 12/06/2013, 1:46 AM

Trap OUT!!!!

Thought he should've been off his line quicker too.

Committed performance this. Miguel Delaney made a point on Twitter about intensity levels between teams at the start and end of a life cycle. Positive if we can maintain and improve our intensity for the crunch games in September.

**BonnieShels** · 12/06/2013, 1:49 AM

Frustrating end.

Think he would have saved it if he was brought on ten minutes earlier. To be honest, I think it was a 1-0 game and we were unlucky. We could easily have drawn it in spite of Spain's dominance.

I'm glad we decided to have a go and try and get the draw instead of sitting back and settling for 1-0, even if it meant Spain scoring again. 2 years ago, I suspect we might not have had the character to do it.

edit: yes, Randolph was definitely too slow in coming out
