Peno sez ref - Wow
1-0 to us

[jcpen]

Some start. Could have 2 after 3 mins. We'll take 1.

Well if they scored the first one the pen would never have happened so would still be only 1-0

That's right. Some gift to not take but at least Van Dyck gave us a second bite.

[weareros]

We equalised too soon. 1-1.

[Itchy]

Great start but what a shambolic goal to concede and bazunu should've got a red.

[Itchy]

John Egan way off it here

[weareros]

Dutch defence dodgy to say the least.

[Itchy]

We just have the quality in the middle 3rd to take advantage of an off colour Holland. I expect Dutch will go on to win 2-1 or 3-1 now.

[Captain Obvious]

Can see tonight why France beat this Netherlands team 4-0 and a better side than this Irish team would be leading 2 or 3-0 at half time.  Poor goal to concede with the whole defence taken out by one decent pass, Ake making blocks from the indecision in the Irish forward play.  Van Dijk looks poor without the extra protection he gets when playing for Liverpool.

[weareros]

That goal was coming with way Dutch started second half.

[Itchy]

Ah what's Duffy at stepping out of the line again, twice he's fucked up

[Cunny Funt]

Not making yourself hard to score against when you are allowing Weghorst to score.  Could have done with Evan Ferguson tonight especially in the 1st half.

You look at a Country like Netherlands - their Academies, their clubs, their culture.

How does a Country like Ireland compete with that?

We've competed with them well in the past.
