Don't look back in anger

So now its all over there is no escaping the brutal facts. Ireland's record at Euro 2012 does not read very well. We played three and lost three, with a goal difference of minus eight. All in all, a bit of a let-down, even though two of the teams we lost to ultimately got to the final and all three of them were ranked in the world's top 10. In fairness though given the scant resources at our disposal, should we really be surprised?

There's no doubt about it, they are the greatest...

Simply the greatest
Straight after the European and World Champions reclaimed trophy last night, all football supporters around the world were debating whether Spain could now be considered as the greatest footballing side of all time. The first international side ever to claim three major titles in a row while playing the best football seen since the 1970 Brazil team.
