We were very close to a brilliant result against Argentina. Of course, they had the upper hand the whole time, we could rely on our rare counterattacks. We managed to score our leading goal in the 68th minute. I began to hope.
Then came the Argentine goal in the 77th minute, but even a draw would have been an excellent result and given another chance to reach 2nd place.
Unfortunately, in the 89th minute, the match engine closed the open questions: the Argentines scored a ridiculous goal, thereby winning the match. I couldn't help but laugh at this goal - unfortunately, I've seen a lot of it before. The striker's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, the ball went to our player, but he didn't kick it, but instead let the ball return to the striker, Argentina won with an empty net goal.
On the one hand, I regret this result today, because I was confident that my dream of 2nd place could live on. On the other hand, I am proud of the Irish national team, because I think we performed above our realistic strength. At the end, there can be another element of steam and then we can close the group matches with 21 points.

Pretty good result considerably the difference in rating for the two teams. Could have qualified if we had a slightly easier group but definitely a good showing for us overall.
Ireland - Latvija 2:7
This last game is a shame for me :(
I don't understand this result.
Maybe it's better to let this NT go and open the door to a new coach.

Just one of those weird games. They scored with every second shot which is really unusual
1. Argentina 49-7 28
2. Venezuela 45-15 22
3. Ireland 32-20 18
4. Latvija 33-26 15
5. Costa Rica 10-50 6
6. Īrān 2-53 0
We have had some nice wins. And 2 close losses against Argentina. The 2nd place was also close with 2 games to go.
I don't understand how we conceded 7 goals against Latvia. In the first game, both teams played the same tactics and we won 3-2, and we played 45 minutes with a man deficit.
Maybe I overestimated the defensive strength of our team. Our goalkeeper also failed, although he has perfect skills and is in top form. There are games that have no explanation. In any case, I was terribly saddened by yesterday's result.
I wanted to win yesterday, so I set the tactics thinking about our own dominance. But the opponent scored the goals one after another, in all sorts of amazing ways. Maybe there is only one such game in a coach's life.

I finished work in Ireland. I am happy to have managed the national team of this small community for 3 seasons.
I wish the next Captain all the best.
