And truly deserved the win...
Much the better squad and now draw host France in the knockout round...supporters were having a blast throughout the game. -
Yay Ireland ... but Italy was already locked as the group winner and made 9 lineup changes for the game.
Italy played hard, but they did not have their A team in the game.
EDITED TO ADD: Iceland was the top WTF? surprise in the tournament.Last edited by slag; 06-23-2016, 08:41 AM.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

NAMFD!! Irish in da house!500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.Comment

As others have said, Italy wasn't at full strength so it wasn't exactly the '94 World Cup opener....but so what! Huge win.
Last time they played France, in France, it was a play in game for the World Cup and a French player (maybe my all time favorite soccer player, Thierry Henry) stopped a ball from going out of bounds intentionally with his hand and then assisted the goal that put France through. It wasn't called. FIFA ended up basically paying Ireland not to sue over it as it kept Ireland out of the World Cup. So, perhaps a measure of revenge this weekend for the Irish. Although, probably not haha."Listen to McCarthy" - Art VandelayComment

Italy played a squad that the US team could have been competitive with.
Notice that I didn't say beat.John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.Comment

To quote soccer journalist Michael Cox, "Ireland playing against a second XI from a nation that considers it bad form to try and win when a game means nothing to them. No excuses."Comment
