And a penalty and goal for Ireland at the start. Wow!

You need to say which Ireland team France is playing, methinks. I know Norn Iron is out, but people might not immediately understand that you’re referring to the Republic.

Looks more like. Rugby than football.

@Amir Khalid: I don’t see the confusion. Yesterday I said Northern Ireland and today simply Ireland. I think most people will get the difference.

France looked pretty ragged in the first half.
I haven’t seen a team yet that has caught my fancy, but I’m pretty much “anybody but Portugal” after their charmless performance yesterday. I’m rooting for the underdogs—and good matches, of course.

France equalise.

Griezmann scores again: France pull ahead of the Republic of Ireland.

France aren’t looking so ragged now, with two goals in four minutes.

@Steeplejack (phone):
I’ve been pulling for Les Bleus (when it doesn’t effect the US, anyway) since WC ’82. It looks like they came out in this half full of esprit de corps or joie de vivre, or Oil of Olay or something. Much better.

Shane Duffy of Ireland is sent off. It would be a shame for Ireland to be eliminated as the fans from Ireland have been the best.

Loris saved France’s ass. If he doesn’t get a hand to McClean’s low cross in the 52nd minute, Long has a tap-in and Ireland are up two-nil.
