Good for Ireland that they got some vindication after having been hard done by in the last game.

Was funny too, as the match started off in much the same way.

France next, and Ireland has NOT forgotten what happened in 09. What goes around, comes around hopefully.

I'm a little disappointed that Northern Ireland and Ireland won't meet in this tournament.

The bracket is horribly lopsided as many pundits have discussed. You have Germany, Italy, Spain, England, and France all on the same side while the other half only has Portugal and Belgium.

don't forget Wales are on that side of the draw too. I think it's good tho, lot of smaller nations doing better than expected. Keeps it interesting.

If I was forgetting to mention anyone, it's Croatia.

They should bring back the golden goal

Loving the games

I wouldn't count Wales as a big team. They have Bale and Ramsey but other than that they're nothing special. They won a pretty weak group consisting of a shit Russia team, a disappointing (that is to say, English) England side, and an admittedly decent but not very talented Slovakia.

GO FRANCE!!! FRAKOUT!

SCORE!!!!!!! FRUCK OUT!!

That got ugly fast for Ireland.

Five minutes of lunacy after being the better team for long periods. Revenge will come some day.

VIVA LA FRANCE!

LETS GO SLOVSAKI! DESTROY THOSE EMMISSION CHEATEN GERMANS!!

Well Germany has destroyed the underdogs. Depressing. But Germany really needs a win right now as they are losing on every other front.

Lol, keep politics out of soccer.

And also, it's not as if Volkswagen are synonymous with Germany as a whole...

Did you also hate the UK and root against the English national team after the BP disaster?

Focus on the game then cause Belgium is 👆2

GOAL 3 Belgium !!!!

Finally Belgium comes together. The last time they were firing on all cylinders like that was against the USA in the Round of 16 in the WC. Now if they can replicate that against Wales they should be on for the semis against Portugal or Poland.

Wales won and drew against Belgium in qualification for the euros so they have nothing to fear really

We'll see.

Anyway, Messi and Argentina just choked at the final of a major tournament for the third time in as many years.

And now Messi has retired from international football. Damn.
