Anyone see the game??

Did the result flatter ??

Or were we (IRELAND U-21) just crap to be fair ?
Well, for the first half 0-0 was probably fair at HTbecause for most of the first half it was pooring down rain and both teams were very tight with not many chances for either team. In the second half the rain stopped and the game opened up both team had many more chances. Ireland's best chance came when Andy Keogh was ruled on side and he was 1 on 1 with the keeper and completly filled his pants. Keogh also had another great chance that was saved well. As for England the first goal was harsh as a ball was played in and O' Halloran deflected the cross and went in to his own net. After that a couple of nice goals by Milner and Walcott. All in all the result was fair Ireland SHOULD have had one through Keogh and had a couple of other decent chances that were saved well/blocked.
