    You never know, I will have my fingers and everything else crossed for the Irish as I'm half irish myself.

    Maybe Spain will have an off day!

    Italy only have themselves to blame if they go out in the group stage. They should have pressed that lead, instead of sitting back and riding it out. They did make a good effort after it leveled, but they needed to do more to secure their lead.

    Props to Croatia for rallying in the second half though. For me, they're underdogs in this group.

    spain is gonna massacre Ireland i think 4-5 to zero, Best Team in the euros but u never know, Torres is in the starting line up so it will be intresting he can manage to score a goal or two but i bet iniesta will bang 1 or 2 goals atleast, Xavi+Iniesta = pure class

    I think Spain will probably win, but I'm not sure it'll be a massacre. I can see Ireland taking a defensive strategy, which could make this a really boring match to watch.

    Double post.

    Also think it's funny that Del Bosque commented this week that they may not even use a recognized striker against Ireland, but he has one in his lineup today anyway (and has pulled his goal scorer).

    The season Torres has had you could easily say he's not a recognized striker! ;)

    Oh but that ONE goal against Barca made up for the previous 9 months of woeful attempts, didn't it? :wink:

    He did play his best at Liverpool.....

    Not in his last season he didn't, was too busy sulking.

    Anyway, this will be 3 or 4 to nil.

    True. I probably should have added "under Rafa".

    I'm not necessarily rooting for Ireland, but I'm holding out some hope that they can pull out something special, but I'm not gonna hold my breath..haha

    Rafa..

    Miss him more than Torres, thats for sure.

    and yes, you've always got to root for the Irish ! Even when a dead horse is being well and truly flogged !

    Yeah, I was just thinking the same. There's time to turn it around, but I'm not seeing the play required for that....
