Win or bust

Big f**king bust! That just redefined fail and I'm literally embarrassed for the performance the players just gave. That defensive formation didn't look anything like what I setup.

lol
:( score

unlucky in the long run.. going down that much,, there wasnt that much hope really

I haven't watched it yet but they have 5% on us in ratings which is a huge handicap to overcome. I'll watch it later but in the meantime, hard luck, and have a few days to think it over before deciding on your future.

agreed with last sentence ;)

it was the 3 early goals that killed us. Their 2 red's let us right back into the game. A bit unlucky not to have found a 3rd goal near the end.

Agreed. Ireland's tactic was very good. Just didn't get the goalkeeping, especially early on. If Cryan had had even an average match, Ireland may well have gotten the result.

Yeesh. Ireland certainly didn't get any help elsewhere this week. Wins by Austria, Slovenjia, Venezuela, and draws by BiH and Uruguay were all potentially harmful to Ireland's qualification hopes.

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. We (DK) could very well have had 4-5 goals before halftime - especially if we'd been 11 men on the field. He had some very great saves from our strikers, especially towards the end of the first half.

Thrilling match to watch - very proud of my lads.

grats and well done.

yeah the red cards were what let us back in... defensively we always seem to have issues... not tactically.. more down to players..

Totally agreed. We've having some attacking superstars of our own, which even the best defenses in the world would have some problems containing.

But I tip my hat off to you - considering the number of managers you've got, I think that Ninn and others in general have done a tremendous job getting the players you have. But the small number of managers limit the tactical opportunities, and I think we've seen that in those two games.

Lol. Just want to make sure I have this right. In a match where shots were 11-10 and that was decided by 1 goal, my comment that a little better play by Ireland`s keeper could have made a difference is `nonsense`.

Considering that you are arguably the most biassed observer in all of Sokker with respect to this match, I think I`ll take that comment for what it`s worth. :)

Of course Denmark could have scored more goals. Ireland could have too. Arguably, Ireland`s two best scoring chances passed without a shot - where Curley was point blank, unobstructed, yet didn`t pull the trigger (think it was minute 16 & 40).

Denmark scored 3 goals on it`s first 4 on target shots (the one on target shot that didn`t go in was from distance, Cryan spilled a juicy rebound that was converted). That`s not great goalkeeping. Even though he made a couple of saves later in the match, he certainly could have had a better day.

I didn`t take anything away from Denmark. I didn`t say they didn`t deserve the win or anything like that. They did well to hold on considering they were down 2 men and had a middie marking Ireland`s winger for a good portion of the match. Simply suggested 1 more save would have made a difference. Essentially anytime the margin is 1, that`s a valid comment.
