Good start from Ireland, not giving the French much time on the ball which is vital if you want to stand a chance.

France is really poor.

It`s not easy to compete on this level with no playing competetive games for 2 years.

Defence are not the best but what an attacking line up France have ! 

I'm gonna say the French will win 2-1 and a sending off each.

Ireland playing very well and not afraid to go forward.

Some have convinced theirselves that Ireland aren't any better than us, but can you really imagine us playing like Ireland have in this game and their previous too.

The more I watch the Euros, the more I realise just how truly awful we are.

Depressing!

Are we going to have 3 quarter finalists from our group now?

If Strachan didn't bottle it when we're on top in Dublin by taking Maloney/Naismith off to play for the draw then Georgia would have been irrelevant 

 

edit: somehow managed to put this in the wrong forum. Appologies

Different team and manager then. I should have been more specific perhaps..... Can you really imagine the CURRENT team playing like Ireland have.

Man for man I don't think they're any better than us but they have a self belief and confidence that we lack.

You beat France on their turf no that long ago.

That was 9 years ago. We are a lot worse now than we were then.

Can't see Ireland hanging on here, but how many times have we said that before?...

Edit... Barely got time for the post to send :-))

I think France will give England a better game than Ireland would have but England's route to the final is opening up. They are going to win this.

I can understand the bitterness after failing to qualify but just to point out few  points:

-you scored us more goals in one game than we lost in whole Euros so far (4 games)

-you were few second from beating Euro2016 quaterfinalist ;)

-you got 4 points out of 6 vs Ireland

-bizzare performance in Tbilisi wa sa turning point- until then you were in competition with us, Germany and Ireland

-not the best Germany form didn`t help you either

-both games vs us i seen your team believieng in success and playing much better and more open football than Ireland for instance, really details decided the whole campaign

Disapointing campaign but not reason to cross out your team. You have foundation to build on.

An England - Wales final would be a tad ironic after the Brexit vote...

If I was English then I'd rather have been playing a France or an Italy tomorrow as they wouldn't play with a flat back 14. They remind me of Hibs. Can't break down the defensive teams but when they play a higher standard opposition they take advantage of them opening up
