To say that this was a sub standard Italian team is just ridiculous , for a start the goalie plays with PSG and has won 4 Ligue 1 titles also twice voted Ligue 1 player of the year, Motta also with PSG has won league titles in Italy, Spain and France along with two champions leagues and a club world cup. We had 4 players from Juventus with 14 Serie A titles between them, a Bundesliga and a 2006 world cup winner along with various individual honours and winners of various other cups. Ogbonna plays with West Ham and has won 2 Serie A titles, Immobile was on the Sevilla team which beat Liverpool in the Europa League Final this year, and Bernardeschi (Fiorentina) Florenzi (Roma) De Sciglio (AC Milan) all play for top clubs in their league. All these players are top professionals and would have being trying to claim a starting spot for the Spain game. When you compare this to the players at our disposal you surely must agree that last nights result was a magnificent achievement. aceofspades (Cavan) - Posts: 256 - 23/06/2016 16:16:53 1871265 Link
Replying To janesboro: "Thankfully the soccer team will eclipse any result of the eggballers in their glorified friendly against 10% of South Africa. Great day ahead Sunday with dubs and meath preceeded by soccer then watch recording of kildare game.

All down to 3rd Test on Saturday. Great weekend of sport ahead in all codes. It's Ireland's Call and that dish cloth I do not like. Political and musical rubbish. Thanks for compliment reShane Lowry. We have our feet on the ground up here. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1745 - 23/06/2016 16:29:42 1871268 Link

Replying To cavanman47: "Replying To hill16no1man: "It's the fact the paper's and media outlets are hailing them while showing these images is not sending the right message. we have a massive alcohol problem existing in this country and changing the mindset of people to understand it causes serious problems is hard enough as it is and also trying to get a change that it's not the only way to celebrate or enjoy something" Why? There a shortage or something???" V good Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4232 - 23/06/2016 16:41:48 1871277 Link

Thanks that poster started attacking after I made them aware of some rules regarding laois v Armagh .the poster then harped on about Louth v Meath where I explained in was different circumstances and he / she starting attacking me .but seems to be the norm in Louth Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 23/06/2016 18:31:12 1871303 Link

Match on big screen. This is a new low. No respect for the two teams in the first game. Train all year for a match and their warm and concentration ruined by a soccer match. I'll be shouting on Ireland as much as anyone and a big soccer supporter. But this is too far! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 23/06/2016 18:42:09 1871309 Link
It's great to see the 32 county march on in France. Hopefully they can get revenge for the incident in the '09 play-off in Paris. The Irish lads should warm up for the game with gaelic football handpassing, it could come in useful! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7865 - 23/06/2016 18:43:21 1871311 Link

While I am as happy as anyone that we beat the Italians the other night and qualified for the knock out stages I feel the reaction has been just a bit OTT.All this talk about 'revenge' against the French is just daft as well. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 24/06/2016 11:32:49 1871474 Link
