Macedonia - Ireland then. Staunton and a very pissed-off-looking Brian McDermott in the studio.
1-0 Ireland. That's the big 5-0 for Keane (major deflection involved)
0-2 now, Keane again. :o
0-2 full time. And Russia did win against Armenia 3-1 but Slovakia only beat Andorra 1-0. :lol:
The top three still deadlocked then. It's all looking a little bit too good for Ireland at the moment..they'll be sure to find a way to cock it up.
Somehow draw with Andorra perhaps.
Pavlychenko hat trick for Russia
Arshavin played the whole game

Weiss :doh:
Through on goal and should shoot but passes to no one
Something weird just happened here.
Given has the ball, goes to throw it out to a team mate, completely fucks it up but the ball doesnt go that far so he just goes and picks it up again and the ref gives the free kick :unsure:
Why?
Keane misses an absolute sitter
Free header, 6 yards out and goes over
It was always his dream to miss an absolute sitter from 6 yards.Quote:

Good to see they decided to delay the start so i could finish watching RawQuote:
1601: Not sure why, but there's a slight delay to kick off in the Luzhniki Stadium - neither team in any particular Russia (ahem) - but we're moments away from the start now...
Arshavin shot from distance, Given saves well.
Arshavin hasn't completely lost his shooting abilities. :bow: Though granted he was in a very central position for that one.
You probably could've guessed the finish tbf.Quote:

Given saves from Semshov, Hollywood save?
Ireland are getting pummeled at the moment.
Looked a hollywood save to me. Expect a top quality keeper to grab hold of that
Yeah it didn't look like he would particularly need to stretch for it.
Arshavin has been fairly good incidentally; operating in and around a central role though, of course.
Dunne clears off the line! Why Semshov didn't just blast it through the middle I have no idea.
That was some block on the line by Dunne
Long range shot from the resulting corner just wide.
All Russia atm regardless of what the commentator says
Arshavin blasts one over.
Zhirkov went straight for goal from the corner. Hit the post in fact. :lol:
Win this and Ireland are at Euro 2012
Cant see them not winning their last 2 games
Draw this and a play off place at least
Lose and they have to hope Russia take something in Slovakia
0-0 half time. Surely only a matter of time before Russia score.
Dunne blocked another great opportunity for Russia.
Arshavin shoots, thought it was in. :lol: Way wide in the end.
Kerzhakov off, Diaz on.
Pavlyuchenko on for Kerzhakov
WTF Semshov? Shoot! Arshavin with the through ball after picking it up, in a central area. :bow:
Doyle off, Cox on.
