Italy 1-0 Croatia
Spain 2-3 Ireland ... don't know why, I think Ireland will surprise here.

Draw and a solid Spanish victory. Easy peasy.
Croatia win and a Spain trouncing.
Tonight ... you will.
The only slim chance that Ireland have got is if Torres plays.
I don't fancy their chances at all. Sorry Paddies.
Northern Ireland have softened the Spanish up for the Republic. The Spanish will be haunted by our past glories against them and may even through complete geographical ignorance believe they're playing the same team who spanked their arses in Belfast.
It could happen, it could easily happen.
It could happen, it could easily happen.
I am almost detecting some love there Doc.😉
It could happen Doc, but not easily
Reliving past glories Count. The 1982 World Cup victory in Spain against Spain is one of my formative football watching memories. I'd say the majority of that team was catholic too. Never will we see the likes again...🙁
OK, there will be backs to the wall defending, drama, hearts-in-mouths stuff. But it could happen.
Oh what a feeliiiing, we've got andrews and whelan
I remember that too Doc. !982 was my favourite footy tournament partly because of the great Brazilian team and also partly because of Northern Ireland's exploits. Gerry Armstrong's goal against Spain and the youthful zest of Norman Whiteside
Yeah it was a great tournament. I remember the what seemed like astoundingly great world cup balls which made it onto our kickabouts shortly after, and when everybody wanted to be Zico (no offence to Gerry like!)
I think we were on a ferry sailing from Rosslare Co. Wexford to France and that match was on. The ferry had a load of Spanish supporters on it who went deadly silent when Gerry Armstrong scored, while the rest of the ferry cheered.
I don't remember it though as I was a nipper at the time.
As for tonight's match, I'm hoping that there was enough Polish people in Belfast the last time the Spanish were there to confuse them as to where they're playing tonight!
Www.liveswitch.tv has both of todays games being streamed in HD for free today if thats of any use to anyone.
It's taken a little dent recently, but I'm assured by her handler/father that it's all in preparation for the knock-out phase.
*cough*
I still look about 14 though.
I was 9. More than the goal I remember the relentless pressure that followed, Mal Donaghy getting a red, and the Spaniards seeming like the cheatiest divers I'd ever seen- they did that rolling over and over when they were tackled. I'd never seen that before that WC.
