It is not as if the other set of Irish fans are any less of good bunch.

It was funny seeing the Italian fans looking gutted after they lost the game
Maybe facing Spain in the next round will cheer them up |

Yes but they've all been banging on about that Will Grigg song over there.

What point is he trying to make......that the Republic's supporters are not "real" fans?

They will see that the Republic have lots of songs, and they will see that they are just as great as the other Irish lot.

Atmosphere was very flat for a lot of the game earlier. They'll need to step it up.

To be honest I think the French still hold a bit of a grudge over what happened pre match in 2009 with the Irish supporters doing a better job at the French anthem than their own.

The only team that should be holding a grudge is Ireland over the Henry handball that stopped them from qualifying for the World Cup I dont think the Irish fans have forgiven him, so we might heat some boos when they play the French anthem |

Late to the party, but what a fantastic result. Was in work whilst the match was on but managed to find a tv for the last few minutes and indeed saw the winning goal. Had to resist the urge not to let out a scream. Pretty gutted I won't get to see the match on Sunday, but will hope for the best.

You still have to beat what is put in front of you, and those Italian players are still good ones.

You really think they would have won if it had been the 1st or 2nd match?

Reading the comments in Gazzetta dello Sport, that's not how Italian fans interpret it. They think the Italian XI played poorly and very disappointingly and that it was a fine performance by the Republic.

Italy were awful and I really hope that it's because they had nothing to play for and that it's not how they are going to play against Spain
![]() I'd still think Italy may be able to beat Spain though. |
