I think the Dutch have been as bad as us. The problem with this Dutch team is that there too many egos in there and too many players that play as individuals and not as a team

I think it was all Holland deserved after underperforming, but I have to say there are just as many egos in our team as well. I'd forgotten about Croatia, Italy, Spain, England being unbeaten as well, but what I meant was, Germany are the only team so far to win all three games.

Technology is actually cheaper than paying for 2 extra assistant referees in every match.

Whats the cost difference between between the two? If it is the case, it proves Platini is stuck in the past and is unwilling to save football by introducing technology.

Platini made a shit excuse not to introduce technology. He's says if its introduced people will have nothing to talk about after a match. I don't want to talk about controversies in a match, I want to talk about how great a certain match was, how great this team and how great this and that player was, thats what should be talking about

Thank you Ireland for making up the numbers once again.

I don't actually know what you mean by that, because this is the first time when Ireland have participated in Euro Championships and have done badly. The others times we have been in major tournaments, we have made a good account of ourselves

Goal line technology has already been approved in principle. So long as it passes the necessary tests it will be introduced on 2 July.

I know that, but Platini will not use it in UEFA competitions and that concerns me
