What are your expectations?

Northern Ireland fan in peace.

Just wanted to get the views of you guys on how you think you'll do at the Euros. I'll give my personal view and see if you agree or not.

I reckon you'll beat Croatia in a tight match. Then you'll probably lose to Spain and it'll come down to the Italy match. A draw may well be enough there and i think Ireland can achieve that (hell, even we drew with them!) I think having Trap in the dugout will be crucial there and just feel that he'll get the result he needs.

What I find in these big game situations is that I am usually negative and fearing the worst. That's why I want to know if your thoughts are similar to mine, as a relative neutral.

Good luck!

Ireland 2-1 Croatia.

Spain 3-0 Ireland.

Italy 0-0 Ireland.


Four points and negative two goal difference.

Yeah the Spain match could be crucial. Assuming they get 3 wins, it's damage limitation but Ireland are a hard team to beat and i can't see them losing 3 nil.

its a big ask to qualify ..but going in as underdogs is the way we do it...

but i dont know why we are being written off against the italians...we have beaten them and drawn with them on numerous occasions

Yeah your record against them is good. And i would strongly fancy Trap to mastermind a result against them.

My expectations are 4 points at least but I will be very disappointed if we go into our final group game against Italy not still in with a chance of a quarter finals spot. We need a positive result in out first game. And if we get to the quater finals I don't fear England or France ( our players should be dreaming of that game) in the quarter if its them we meet

I always fear the worst. Even a draw against Croatia could just be the precursor for a big loss against Spain that would probably put us in a bad position for Italy. Not expecting a lot as our players are not that great.

Hmmm!!! A wum maybe!!! Account just set up today Yes our players are not that great but still good enough to qualify for the Euro Finals !!
