O'Dea: Players embarrassed by Germany defeat

The only way Republic of Ireland defender Darren O’Dea could describe last night’s record home defeat to Germany was by calling it an embarrassment.

The Toronto defender endured a torrid night at the office, conceding the penalty that led to Germany’s third following a late challenge on Miroslav Klose and he also failed to clear his lines when Klose netted the visitors’ fourth.
