    I've got a good feeling about it. Ireland to win - early flukey goal by Keane after about 7 minutes then park the paddy wagon for the rest of the match. squeaky bum time come the 4 minutes of injury time added at the end!

    Oops, sorry, from my preview St Ledger is actually playing centre back and o'shea right and Corluka is centre back for Croatia with Srna switching to right back. Our target Andrews is going to have a very difficult night as Croatia look like they'll pack the middle with those great attacking options

    Looking forward to seeing what Andrews has to offer. Reckon Croatia will win 2-0.

    Andrews starting, be good to see one of our targets playing. Croatia have to be favourites, 3-1 Croatia.

    After all my thoughts earlier I finally did the following bets:
    Result after 30 Minutes Croatia - 3/1
    First goalscorer Nikica Jelavic - 6/1
    Correct score Croatia 2 - 1 - 8/1
    First goalscorer Robbie Keane - 13/2
    Correct score Croatia 2 - 1 & First Goalscorer Robbie Keane - 75/1
    Correct score Croatia 2 - 1 & First Goalscorer Nikica Jelavic - 35/1

    Fingers crossed some of these come in!!

    Could be famous last words but I think a lot are overrating Croatia, some good individuals but fancy the Irish to nick this 1-0

    Unless they are playing England then why not support other home nations? I'd like to see the men in green do well but they are up against it in that group. But who thought Denmark would beat the Dutch?
    Republic of Ireland isnt a home nation tho.
    I want croatia to win but can see it as a draw.

    Andrews looks a bit like another Holland. Impressed with early touches.

    123 caps for Ireland, one of the Premiership's best ever keepers and the goal was hardly a clanger. Soft but Szchesney's (sp) mistake on Friday was worse and doesn't make him a bad keeper.

    Croatia look dangerous, can see them scoring again before HT.

    I'm part of a minority that hope Ireland loose. I'm English, (with Irish blood) but just find no reason to support them as they certainly won't be supporting us.

    Great goal. WHoever is blowing that whistle needs a good kicking though. Muppets. Come on Ireland!
