UEFA Euro 2012: Despite fan support, Ireland overmatched by Croatia

On the ground in Poznan – Irish fans run a gamut of emotions on Sunday evening

It is no secret that, in the unpredicatable world of sport, there are going to be moments when expectation proves to be much different from reality. Going into the match, myself, along with countless others, felt this Irish squad could not only pull out a draw, but also steal a victory from the Croatians. Obviously, after this performance, perhaps our hopes were a little ambitious. Nevertheless, as the Green Army migrates five hours across the country to Gdansk, the incredible and frankly awe-inspiring level of support will remain constant and resolute, hoping that, against all odds, this team can bounce back.
