Ah... I assume the final 25mins weren't very different from the first 25?

No

 

[Crockett]

Ben Davies probably needed some minutes in a game, so it is a good thing he has played the whole 90 minutes. Anyone's guess why they made Son play the whole game in a friendly though.

Captain.... Talisman....... Plays most games I'd assume.

He had heavy strapping around his knee but still played the whole game. Wtf Jürgen!

Hopefully he doesn't play the whole game in their next friendly v Saudi Arabia, at St James Park on Tuesday.

He has for the last few games

 

[Shelfie]

Christian and PEH destroyed San Marino . . .

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Poor old NI stuffed already in the group. Only remaining battle is with San Marino to not finish bottom.

 

[Seaside Spur]

Crazy. For a meaningless friendly playing in midfield as well

Ireland once again tried to play nice attacking footie, and succeeded in that.
Shame they can't win a game.

Out of the running now to qualify with 3 games left.

Bit of an odd take. I’m watching the game now, 80 mins in. They (Ireland) barely got out of their half, France had 68% of the ball.

Really hopeYamal prevents from getting injured in his career.

I know, they were totally outplayed.

My point was that they try to play attacking football, achieve that aim.
Unfortunately they're not very good at it.

Ronaldo’s just fucked up sn easy chance then slid studs up into the keeper’s face. Ref bottles the red and gives yellow. VAR checking.

They didn’t really achieve any though. I mean, I don’t know what they are normally like, France obviously a tough game.

They basically only have championship and league 1 players.
Prior to Stephen Kenny they'd play a defensive game, especially against the big boys.
Kenny is adamant that they try to play entertaining football, even against the best teams in the world.
Problem is that they've only won 5 competitive matches out of 25 ish.
That includes against the likes of Greece and the similar.
