Ronaldo pays penalty

Well there you go, the two teams in Irelands group now in the final!

So does that reflect well on the Ireland team ? No shame in finishing last in the group containing the winner and runner-up of Euro 2012 ?

No ? Thought not . The Ireland team were pants. End of.

Come on TarfHead. We need to graps at some straws .

It's interesting though that the groups that were considered the toughest (ours and Germany's ) provided the 4 semi-finalists.
If we had have been drawn against teams such as Greece, Poland, England we might have picked up the odd point but not much more than that.

There's no doubt now that our group was the toughest

Croatia can certainly hold their heads high from their performances against the 2 finalists

I think Germanys group was tougher, and I would also argue against Portugal being a one man show. Ronaldo only scored in two out of their 5 games and they have quality right across the park. They were the better team in their semi and are unlucky to be out of the tournament.
