We will have a think about it when we are going home.

“It looked as if we should have had a penalty”.
A goal that took the wind out of Italian sails before we parted ways for knockout football.
He paid tribute to the “fantastic” Irish fans: “Unbelieveable, it was unbelieveable, they kept us going throughout the night and we kept them going!” What starting eleven would you like to see Coleman select?
Ireland’s Robbie Brady, right, celebrates after scoring, during the Euro 2016 Group E soccer match between Italy and Ireland at the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve d’Ascq, near Lille, France, Wednesday, June 22, 2016.
“I don’t know what to say – my head isn’t really working”, Brady said.
But he was unable to add to his tally against a Belgium side which has recovered to win two consecutive games after losing its opener to Italy.
“We will concentrate on us for now but they are not a team to be taken lightly”. A lot of players would have had their head down after that, or sulked, but he got on with it and what a delivery. Naturally we will need to. “We have won the game, we deserved to win it and we dominated for incredible periods of the game and played some phenomenal stuff”. Obviously there’s a great spirit among the players but spirit alone won’t win games. You have to show ability.
“I’m confident they’ll do it. The only problem is I have to get back to work on Monday!” “Thanks we saw the goal!”. Seriously when [we score late goals] so often it can’t be a coincidence. There are some exciting games to look forward to in the Round of 16, but what are the top storylines to follow?
“The atmosphere was absolutely mental”, said Chris, when Robbie Brady scored. I was feeling that tonight.
Whatever was actually said between the two men, who agreed to lead the Republic into the new World Cup qualifying campaign before flying out to France earlier this month, may have to remain between them for now. The victor of that encounter could then possibly play host France.
Portugal came from behind three times as Ronaldo, who also set a tournament record of 17 appearances, finally rediscovered his touch to help them secure a third straight draw that left them third in Group F and set up a last 16 meeting with Croatia. “The players are doing everything that they have to do”.

We had to have everyone at it tonight, to not drop tempo.
