"But I'm proud of the lads' performance, there is so much to build on.
"It should give us a lot of belief. We have gone toe to toe with one of the best in the world. It doesn't matter who we come against, if we play as a team, tactically right with the fans behind us, we can beat anyone."

Beat anyone? Would Ireland have beaten Spain at home 2-0, like the Scots? Not a chance. Never underestimate the power of the Irish soccer brethren to self-delude.

Ireland could finish third or fourth in Group B and still qualify for the Euros in Germany next year. Ranked 26th in the Nations League, they are almost guaranteed a play-off regardless of how results go against Greece and the Netherlands.

The supporters are overwhelmingly behind the manager and team.  Nothing wrong with that.  Mbappe, Griezman and Camavinga are two levels above anything Ireland have.

Spain were very poor in the World Cup. Lost to Japan.  Barely made it out of the group with 4 points  . Beaten 3 nil in the last 16  by Morocco in a great match.

Three of the 24 places at UEFA EURO 2024 will be determined by play-off spots via the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League, as per the regulations.
Twelve teams will be selected based on their performance in the 2022/23 Nations League – nominally the group winners of Leagues A, B and C, but if they have already qualified, they will be replaced by the next best-ranked team in their league. If there are not enough non-qualified teams in the same league, then it filters down to the next league, finishing with League D.

GOAL - Bournemouth 0-1 Brighton
Evan Ferguson

What a goal!

Out of nowhere Brighton are ahead. Kaoru Mitoma skids the ball along the turf from the left and golden boy Evan Ferguson backheels it into the bottom corner.

Special goal from a special talent.

Because it was.

That fella has been arrested within 24 hours of the attack because the FAI and referees union insisted on a prosecution. The GAA could do the same if the will was there.
