24 attempts to 2. We must be defending well. Hopefully all out now last 15 to get an equaliser.

We just had one cleared off the line, giving it a lash anyway.

Red card Bolger.
He's been doing his best to get sent off all tournament.

Bolger sent-off, seems to have been a decent effort though.

Game over. Far better exit than going home after the Germany game at least.

Definitely. 

Shame we couldn't have scored that chance that was cleared off the line. Would have been great to get to extra time and maybe penalties!

Obviously a huge improvement on the other day, it wasn't surprising to find out that Bolger was the one sent-off! What time are the highlights?

I hope you didnt lose too much.

Maybe an apology to those children might be in order.

Yeah, fair play to the ickle kiddies they bounced back very well. It shows how close you can get with the right mentality.
I didn't lose anything at all as none of the bookies I use were taking bets on it, a lot of companies are slow to take them on underage games.

Do any of these kids have the potential to make it to the big leagues? 

Also, I seen only a few are selected for academies in England. Hopefully a few more go over, or grabbed the attention of scouts.

Love Luke Nolan's passion during the anthem.

Unlucky lads, much better performance

That Adam Idah fella seems like a good prospect, wouldn't be surprised to see an English club come in for him soon

A great experience today, from navigating the Zagreb transport system and being guided all the way by friendly locals to the game itself and the sound people we met.

Well done to the lads today, they stuck at it all the way through. They were understandably setup very defensively all the way through, hoping no doubt to nick a late goal and they weren't too far away. It was very hot during the first half. There was nothing Maher could have done for the goal, it was a great shot to the top corner. He had a great game, strong and important saves. It was great to see the pride and passion in the boys today, they gave everything. Nolan, in particular, had a great fighting spirit wanting to push on for an equaliser. To come out with that result against the pre-tournament favourites is an achievement. Qualifying for the finals for the first time in 20 years and reaching the quarter finals is a great achievement.

We shouldn't forget that the boys have achieved all of this on an uneven playing field against young lads who have been in premier league academies since 7 or 8 years of age or, in the case of the Germans, in boarding academies from the same young age. The parents of our lads also go to great lengths to support their boys around the world.

Fair play to all.

We did actually make the finals when it was an 8 team championship in 2008 with the likes of Hourihane and Brady involved at the time.
It'll be interesting monitoring how Germany and England fare from now to gauge where we are it. The Dutch gave Deutschland a good game today, just lost out at the last moment.
