They won't know what hit 'em!!!!!
I feel very strongly that the Republic of Ireland deserve ahuge clap, as they throughly deserved to beat Spain, who got through by the skin of their teeth.
Ireland fought all match, where spain appeared to give up, and they were definately very unlucky.




Special applause to Niall Quinn (he's a star!) and Duff, who worked his ickle socks off (although all of them did.)
It's such a shame to lose on penalties, but especially such a shame when you deserved the victory. They should leave Japan feeling really proud.
(Incidentally, i think that was one of the best matches of the tournament so far.)
Let's hope our boys don't suffer the same unfair fate!!!!!!!!!
