Poor Ireland. I really feel bad for their fans. For some reason I've always liked them.

Always found the Scandinavian teams to be an annoyance.

Because Scandinavian teams are exactly that: an annoyance. They often play shit boring football against offensive teams and cause upsets against giants. Norway and Sweden are masters of this.

Denmark today played a very fair and attacking game. Hats off to them.

The reason we Iranians sympathize with the Irish mostly goes back to our clash in 2002. It was quite a memorable 2-leg bout.

Agreed 100%. That team was talented like crazy. They just had no mental prep and constantly underrated weaker teams. We only got 5/12 points from Thailand and Bahrain, yet 10/12 from Iraq and Saudi.
