Very disappointed with the Ireland v Croatia, not with Ireland's performance. Only the most ardent fan actually thought they would win. In fact I had put 10 of my soon to be extinct Euro on a scoreline of 2 - 1 in favour of Croatia at 9/1. There is no patriotism or sentimentality when it comes to betting. But the Irish didn't even have the character to stop an average team from finishing them off 3 - 1.

Today I saw an Irish flag lying on the road where it had fallen off a car, constantly being run over. Says it all really, not just for the team but the state of the country right now.

As for England, a similar fate awaits. Maybe I can recover my money with a bet on France to win 2 -1. Much as I'd like to France to lose after the 'Thierry hand' incident.

we can do this if we get aggressive,  their centre backs aren't up too much.
