Ireland v Brazil in 87
The start of a new era - and the Kenny one may take off today
Johnstone very lively but the rest is the usual stodgy stuff. Sykes not having a great game the other wing. Did Idah kick his own player to cost us a good scoring chance a few minutes back?
League of Ireland coming through for Stephen again there!!

Houghton seemed to think that actually was a foul by Sykes but not a chance if you ask me.
Good finish by Idah.
I thought we might get a sighting of Terry Phelan on the wing.
We've been pretty poor since the goal which is a worry
I think Pijnaker is complaining Sykes caught him on the backlift. He may have a point too, but he'd already gotten himself in trouble with a poor touch anyway. Gift for Idah from there
Great save from Kelleher from that curler after a quiet half up till then. Even Johnstone has gone quiet the last 20 or so - we're losing our way as we so often do
Lost all momentum after the goal for some reason. Was ok up to then. We've had at least 6 corners I think and haven't looked dangerous from them at all. Crowd probably looks worse on TV than it is. Premium levels are sparse bit rest or ground is not too bad.
Yeah, I caught the touch on his backlift there on that last replay. That said, it’s exactly the type of clash anywhere else on the pitch that results in the player in possession not getting the free.
They were on top the last 15 minutes for sure. Would like to see what tweaks Kenny makes at half time. 4-2-3-1 (or attacking 4-3-3) with Sykes, Moran and Johnston behind Ferguson would be fun to see.
Think that's fair. It's the kind of crap VAR and multi replays is blowing out of proportion. (Even if it would have been a blatant foul the other end!)
Good to get a look at Josh Cullen in the second half! Odd …..

Gotta get the holding midfielder on to defend that 1-0 lead it seems.
A goal from range?
Colour me shocked...
The Cullen substitution proves a masterstroke.
Greece 2-1 v France.
being outplayed here. usual SK type performance i guess.
Getting well outplayed aswell,a fitting end I suppose…

Safe to assume the strong ST sales before the campaign helped with that many showing up tonight.
