If Giroud scores against Ireland, even with that beautiful face, he can think twice before he tries to get into bed with me tonight.

A good point about that handball
We already got revenge on the French from what we do with their baguettes #IRLFRA

I don't ask for much. I just want Ireland to win with a blatant handball and then to offer Patrice Evra a replay on the PlayStation #IRLFRA

Pogba needs the butt of the hurl in the ribs to slow him down. Fairly like. #COYBIG #IRLFRA

Trump should just hire Randolph to keep the Mexicans out at this rate #COYBIG #IRLFRA
— Dev (@HouseofDivver) June 26, 2016
The pressure was coming but we had the ace in our sleeve

The second half
I'm so stoked with feelings of patriotism that I've wheeled the green bin into the living room for the match. #Irl #fra

But then
That French shower of shite have scored.
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) June 26, 2016
And then
Second French goal comes shortly after that corner kick Ireland weren't given.
DISGRACE.
FIX.
WE. DEMAND. A. REPLAY.

In the end
Things to blame for losing:
The heat
Scoring too early
France are actually a great team
