FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Cunny Funt]

I have seen worse Austrian teams beat much better Irish sides over the years. Well done to Martin O Neill and his players on a well deserved and rare victory in Austria.

A draw between Wales and Serbia would be the icing on the cake tonight.

Do you think Asher's would print that one?

[An Watcher]

Fantastic result.  Flip after this tournament the only possible people retiring from the first 11 would be Hoolahan and Walters.

[grounded]

Super result.

the only negative tonight was the yellow for brady which rules him out of the wales game. I often lose faith in soccer with all the egos etc but tonight was 100% graft and effort - proud of every one of them. I'm watching wales now and they are no great shakes even with Bale in the side

[Syferus]

By Christ are Austria awful. To make our lads look the better footballing side is some achievement.

Great year by the team with very limited resources but with such an old squad what does the future look like after Russia?

Mother of God..... best away win against a group contender since 1987 and you're still not happy. A victory for football too with all the diving the austrians were at.

Ah cmon. It was a good win no doubt, particularly for us.

But Austria flopped in the Euros and have already flopped in this campaign. We're getting way too excited about beating a poor team away from home. Georgia were a tougher test in reality.

Great win which keeps the whole thing ticking over. now come on serbia.

Stupid yellow for brady which could hurt us.

[An Watcher]

Yes they flopped at the euros but this time last year they had just comfortably topped a group containing Russia n Sweden only dropping 2 points along the way

You would have done well to heed your own advice when you were losing the run of yourself over a few Roscommon wins in February

Serbia after drawing level with Wales! Could be good for us?

[Captain Obvious]

Wales inches away from making it 2-0 when Bale hits the post straight down the field Serbia level. Football for you.

You mustn't have read what I said if you'd even think typing the above made any sense.

Serbia look some side but a draw is a great result.  Austria gone, Wales still there just about

[Capt Pat]

That is a great result for Ireland. We are now 4 points ahead of Wales and 2 ahead of  Serbia. Austria are out of it 6 behind Ireland.

[SHEEDY]

Brilliant 2nd half performance but jaysus Austria were shite. luckily the big centre forward couldn't head the ball. Wales/Serbia drawing was good result for Ireland. McClean motm for me.
