Seems like they've hit a wall in the last few minutes as well.

Quick question. Do our Irish friends from the south side root for their northern cousins or is it like us and the jocks where we both want the other to lose!?

It depends with me. This team I like. I think Michael O'Neill has done an amazing job and they are so well organised.
Look at the difference between them after they went ahead and us after we did against Sweden. In the draw in work where we had to predict every result I have them down to get out of the group in third.
They could do better. And they deserve everything they get. Good luck to them.
Come to think of it, I've never had a problem with the N. Irish team. Some of their fans in the past could be a bit hard to get on with, but this lot look like they're there for fun and so they should be.

Good luck to them all.

Suspected that may be the case. And the jocks?

Delighted for them. I'd like to see the whole island compete as one like we do in Rugby union.

I remember a reporter saying that he'd gone to interview someone in a UDA club during the Troubles. Assorted Loyalist hardmen were watching Jack Charlton's Republic team and cheering them on - much to his confusion. Generally, both sides of the border will support both teams, not equally of course.

Not a fan at all of Loew's sideline style. An international manager should look like a professional, not a Steve Jobs impersonator.

Superb defending by Boateng there. If he had never played for us I reckon he would be a target right now

Would not have had this game down as the first 0-0 of the tournament.

Germany have had 5 0-0 draws in euro championship group stages, more than any other team.

He could still be a target, if archery is part of pre-season training

I've just been talking with some northern Irish customers from Dungannon, I asked if they celebrated yesterday's win they don't follow the northern Irish team even tho they are northern, they class Ireland as 1 country and support republic (probably due to them being Catholic) also stated in rugby its Ireland.

I'm conflicted here, Italy win is the probably the best result for Ireland but Sweden are very likeable( that big nose twat aside ) and I can't wish them ill.
