    Have to say I didn't have high expectations of this match, and they're not being met

    Oh well

    Doubt anyone expected much, looks like many ticket holders didnt bother. The talk of the team being over the disappointment and moving on isnt convincing. 2nd half though, I still would like to see a change up of things. New faces, we obviously want players able to slot in to a system so its no longer figuring out formations that suit so subs will do. Win just for the W3 D1, climb rankings.

    1st half highlights of Denmark v Czechia are a bit mad. Apart from the Czechs being 1 up, the could and should have scored 3. Im not sure how to process that, if the Czechs win, in the context of how the ability of sides are assessed but us mortals. Never for a moment watching the game last week that I thought that the Danes were not the significant favourites even if playing away. It maybe makes it worse as it could mean that we would have been the strongest or in form team.

    I've held my tongue after Thursday but Brown isn't good enough. HH saw it before, he just doesn't play well for Ireland

    I suppose in fairness only Parrott had a decent game. Lawal did ok when on too. The rest was pedestrian stuff by and large. Browne maybe actively wasn't great though I guess

    I came here to say this. I'm sure he's a lovely lad and all but the reality is he's just not good enough and after 30 odd caps there's no reason to believe he ever will be.

    Johnny Kenny is younger but he's another one who shouldn't get another call up until he does something at club level to justify it.

    I though O'Shea had another excellent game.

    Parrott, O'Shea and Molumby all excellent - as was Coleman. Lawal and Vale did well enough out of the subs - and Abankwah has promise, i think. The game shifted so much when we made the quadruple change. I think how we slowed down afterwards was somewhat to do with Travers for Kelleher. Incredible the difference it made actually in terms of our distribution/fluidity from the back.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Well Czechs through. and B+H ahead against Italy, both on penalties. None worse than the Danes, even than the Irish efforts. Bosnians show how penalties should be taken so far. Actually Italys penalties could be the worse of the 3 shootouts!! Ok so Italy will now miss a 3rd WC in a row. Thats really got to hurt...
