9.46pm And breathe. Great effort from Ireland in the second half. Could've, probably even should've, won it. Nobody would've thought that at half time.

Just a lack of quality in front of goal otherwise it would've been a famous win. Draw isn't the end of the world though, despite what I was hinting at half time.
