Here's hoping.

I'd like to see Slovenia beat Russia too - it's such a lovely, little country!

Come on Ireland, what?

Issue free Guiness, grow mountains and stop Atlantic winter storms, produce more lovely Celtic beauties like Zoe Salmon, Dervla Kirwan and Gloria Hunniford?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

beat the bloody french, that's what!

Interestingly, earlier this evening, while cycling through Kilburn, Cricklewood there were crowds on the street - Slovenia v Russia I presume. The language was unknown, the cheering loud and the pavements awash!
Plus ca change!

Anyone else have a nasty feeling it'll go to penalties?

I always hate it when people cheat. Anelka diving a few minutes earlier wasn't a fine piece of sport either.

Cheat!! Grrrrr!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

just one goal for ireland should be enough though…
