Russia vs. Ireland - Qualifying round (Group B) UEFA EURO 2012
Hey, is there anybody who's interested in football? haha
Tonight there was a big football match here in Moscow, at Luzhniki stadium - Russia vs. Ireland, Qualifying round (Group B) UEFA EURO 2012. I was going to go to the stadium (as I did last Friday when I was supporting the Russian team in the qualifying game against Macedonia) but due to circumstances I couldn't, so I stayed at home and watched the game on TV.
It was a very interesting game, we were dominant all the time and had so many chances to score. We should have won 4-0! ok haha, at least 3-0 :) But the Irish defense was perfect tonight :( It was their seventh match in a row without coneding a goal! The Russian team couldn't capitalise on its scoring chances. :( As a result we drew 0-0
Look at these statistics:
Russia - Republic of Ireland
Goals scored 0 - 0
Attempts on target 4 - 1
Attempts off target 14 - 1
Corners 12 - 1
If we would have won today, we would have qualified for Euro-2012, because Armenia beat Slovakia 4-0 tonight in Bratislava.
Now Russia have 17 points (from 8 games) and are top of their group table.
2 - Ireland with 15 points
3 - Armenia with 14 points
4 - Slovakia with 14 points
5 - Macedonia with 7 points
6 - Andorra (0 points)
Only 2 games left, against Slovakia and Andorra in October.
I really hope we will qualify for Euro-2012 because Russia missed out on the World Cup-2010.
Fingers crossed :)
