And this was supposed to be the easy one. The Republic of Ireland will probably need victories over Spain and Italy to reach the quarter-finals - and a potential meeting with England - after their Euro 2012 campaign began with a disastrous defeat by Croatia.
Giovanni Trapattoni’s team were thrashed in the lashing rain in Poland, conceding three goals in a tournament match for the first time in their history.
The Republic manager still insisted his team can qualify. He said: ‘We have to believe because of what we have done until now. We met a strong technical side in Croatia but every game in this Euro could be a surprise and we have to believe this.’

The big problem which made Ireland to fall yesterdays rivalry vs Croatia is,the contains of too many old players compared to their counter side Croatia.
