yes and it was one of the worst games of WC  , We defended all the match and wasted a lot of time in returning the ball to goal keeper , it'll be a tough battle , may the better team wins 

 

Haha yes, and Ireland drew all 3 of our group games (Egypt, Netherlands and England), then drew 0-0 with Romania and beating them on penalites, and eventually losing 1-0 to the tournament hosts Italy in the quarter-finals..... no Portuguese-style fairytale sadly . But hey, we avenged our Italian defeat 4 years later in the USA

Obviously as a rival nation I have to wish ill on so I can gloat to friends from those countries that "you're not there!"

With  ,  ,  and  looking like the seeded teams.

In really at 99% Italy will be an unseeded team

Costa Rica saved Panama's chances in the 95th minute... If Mexico beats Honduras in the last round, Panama is through. Does Mexico has a serious enough team after securing qualification @mrv86?

 

Then again, if Panama beats already qualified Costa Rica then there's nothing that Honduras can realistically do.

So Ireland needs to win in Cardiff and need for both Croatia or Scotland not to win.... piece of cake . Though I am already supporting the Scots and wanting them to reach the play-offs. I hope at least one of my teams can make it through

I want a situation where and don't just because I can laugh at my Scottish and Irish friends - preferably due to a handball in extra time.

It's more giving them a smug, knowing grin than banging on about it.
