Lost 1-0 to Portugal today.
No shame in that, Portugal have a long tradition in underage football, and the Irish squad is depleted, Rooney (who scored against Germany) had to leave, and so did Eddie Nolan. The original squad was missing Cillian Sheridan amongst others, most notably Anthony Stokes, who won't be playing for any of the underage sides anymore.
