Robbie rues set-piece lapses

Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane admitted his side had come up short of the required quality at Euro 2012.

Keane again paid tribute to the travelling fans, but admitted they had been one of the few bright spots of the competition.

“The last three games, they’ve been fantastic,” he said. “It’s a shame we didn’t perform as well as we can and perform for them because if anyone deserves it, it’s them. I think we played well without really creating too many chances. It’s one of those things. It’s certainly disappointing we didn’t get something out of the group.”
