We thought Jeff Hendrick had given us an early lead…
We know what we need to do, we have to go out and win the game to advance to the last 16.
Easier said than done.
Ireland have had a promising first-half where they had a lot of possession, but unfortunately we didn’t have a lot of chances except for one blatant penalty which should have been awarded to Ireland.
Here’s to hoping that it changes in the second half.
This is how people reacted to the game online:
Ireland obviously had a game plan…
Putting them under pressure Jackie style, and "Mattie Holland"s from Hendrick. This is old school Ireland. More of this! #IRLITA #COYBIG

Definite orders to hit EVERYTHING high to Murphy. Stephen Ward just lofted a 10-yard pass towards the big Ipswich man #IRLITA

9: What an effort from Jeff Hendrick! A whisker away from finding the top corner from 25 yards. (0-0) #COYBIG
