Beating the Dutch wrapped up World Cup qualification. Only a formality of an Asian play off remained. I think that was a bigger achievement then the German game, which may yet end up achieving nothing.

Ireland had chances too though : Robbie Keane had a great game and ran at the Dutch defence all day long, and the likes of Duff, Keane and McAteer put in a great shift in midfield. Our memories of that game have been slightly coloured by the fact that we were down to 10 men for the last half hour and the Dutch ended up with four strikers on the pitch. In terms of upsets though and being up against it, the Irish win over Germany was much more significant : the Germans totally dominated the first hour in terms of possession and chances, we hardly got a look in.

Ah the Dutch were all over us long before Kelly got sent off. Kluivert should have scored after about 2 minutes, easy chance, rolled wide in slow motion. Zenden had another great chance in the first half were Given was about 15 yards off his line and Zenden was just outside the box and he passed it straight into Given's arms.
Right from the 1st minute the Dutch were on top.

The Germans could afford to lose last week, the Dutch couldn't in this game. That's the difference. And at the end the tannoy played A Nation Once Again...not some U2 dirge.

It's scary how time is flying by. I remember it like it was yesterday :(

The game was more of a tall order for NL than people think, even a late equaliser wouldn't have gotten them into the play offs (final group table read Ireland 24 NL 20)

Giles saying he would have played Quinn and gone more direct as Holland better technically. Yet now thinks we should try play possession football with inferior players technically. Absolute bluffer. |

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

Some of the comments made about the dutch players are priceless...especially those players that went on to have great careers - absolute spoofers in the studio

Picture says a thousand words, if you didn't know either of the opposition you'd swear Mick was an opposing manager, so much tension.

It doesn't in this case. If you watch the youtube clip on this thread you will see they are both facing each other when shaking hands. The pic above is the last split second of their interaction.

If I remember correctly, the whole South stand was more like a terrace from Jason's goal onwards. Nobody sitting. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced.
