There is the second "fluke" after Ireland eked out a 1-1 draw against the Germans in the corresponding fixture.

The Germans had a right good go at Ireland, and certainly had tons of possession. But Ireland fought and fought for every ball and showed that they have learned not to play defensively without being too withdrawn. The midfield won this game, I couldn't choose for MOTM between Hendrick, Brady, McCarthy and Hoolahan because they ran midfield, and created breaks by pure guile. The winning goal was amazing, how to finish with control and power while running at full tilt.

Now Ireland could yet win their group. With Northern Ireland also doing well isn't it a shame that our island was divided by perfidious influences.

What a gallant win. Full of character, and fighting spirit. The crowd was a "WOW"!

The Germans must have wished they were playing England, whose character is to get bent over by bigger teams, all the time.

Maybe I missed something but it doesn't seem hateful at all. He said that if not for Ireland being divided (by perfidious influences) then the Irish team would be that much better because of the quality of Northern Ireland. Hard to argue that the influences behind dividing ireland are morally upstanding and noble.

Congrats to Ireland, always a joy to see the little guys win against the favorites.

Quite right too, there is no hate in saying two soccer traditions, which produce similarly styled players, shouldn't operate on a territorial basis reflection the nation (not the state). That basis would embrace both sides and their history. The fact is in the 1920s and 1970s this matter was almost resolved, until narrower interests pulled it apart. George Best's dying wish will one day be honoured.

A United Ireland team wouldn't use many of the present day Northern Ireland players, but it would do something in a developmental scale, where eventually the scaling up would produce quality. Great if both teams are at the Euros.

Germany had started to influence the game and looked the most likely to score. Ozil's miss, though not necessarily glaring, kinda summed up the day for the Germans (Muller later on missed another that he would normally bury). That said, Ireland played very well. They made Germany work for their chances and, on occasion, took the game to the Germans.. And, while the defending on the long ball was horrendous, full credit to Long for doing what none of the Germans on the night could with a very well taken goal.

I still have full confidence that Germany tops the group, so this result doesn't bother me. In fact, while my father's side is full blooded German, my mother's is a mix of German, English, and Irish. I've always held a soft spot for the Irish team. Here's hoping they can finish the job in Warsaw and get the second automatic qualifying spot.

Yes. and the violent hateful people who divided ireland match that description. 90% of the Irish are good people who did not want a religious war. He never called one group perfidious, he said that of people that forced the divide. You may not like him, but I do not see anything wrong with what he said.
