Standing outside a pub on Dublin’s Parliament Street watching tourists as the final whistle is blown in the ENG v CRO worldcup match. Massive cheer goes up from the visitors as England goes home. And not an Irish accent to be heard…

Waterford city was full of car horns and the distant sounds of lads singing in the streets straight after the match…. a lot of OTT ‘celebration’ out there, in fairness.
I did enjoy the memes though, particularly Mary Smashing Records of “it’s coming home”, because that was getting annoying :)
Do they have cars in Waterford?
Sick burn.
I think the ICH memes are what I’m going to miss most.
OK, I googled and have no idea…. what’s “ICH”? :)
It’s Coming ‘ome
Duh…. slow morning for me :)
Maybe they were Croatian?
I wish :)
Fair play to the Croatians, they deserved to win and were much better than the English in live play although their set-piece play was lacking. Hopefully they’ll deliver another upset and beat France in the final.
Were they cheering England losing or Croatia winning? There is a distinct difference.
I can’t tell from the photo, to be honest.
Both? Not many outside England wanted to see them win – too much arrogance with that “ICH” nonsense. Servers them well, down a peg or three.
Good job we Irish never get on a hyper-optimistic bandwagon.
arrogance = optimism, does it?
Giddy optimism in Ireland = giddy optimism.
Giddy optimism in England = arrogance.
no we celebrate how brilliant the fans are as the footballing team are average
It’s the biggest sporting event in the World this year
Why wouldn’t there be more than just local specialist interest in the WC proceedings
Last night was a Semi- Final FFS
And probably the most watched telly of the year so far
Globally
And TBF
And I’ve no temperament for the sawker
But Croatia are a nice side t’watch
And like it or not
Russia put together a great tournament
And as hosts exceeded all expectations
Look at that pitch last night for instance
Perfect
Anyway
Hon’ Croatia
No hosepipe ban there, hun!
Wasn’t any in Italy, ‘Merica, Japan or France during their go’s at hosting either
And they all had a fair few baldy patches by this stage
Just saying
Lovely pitch indeed, laid down by a great bunch of Sligo lads.

As a wise old bird told me once. The English are bad losers – but so are many – but they are the worst winners in the world.
It’s quite possible the visitors were Croatian. Then again, lots of viewers are delighted to see a nation reach the WC Finals for the very first time. Look at the WC stats. Great to break the mould. Croatia to win!
I don’t see the relevance of the ‘not an Irish accent to be heard…’. It’s summertime city centre Dublin ffs.
I read the ‘not an Irish accent to be heard…’ as meaning that it wasn’t just Irish people enjoying England losing – which may be understandable given 800-years-blah-de-blah.
Probably more Croatians in Ireland than we realise
I found this article quite interesting

I was hoping England would take it honestly, they’re in dire need of something to raise their spirits a bit
Jesus they were so mean they would not go inside to even have a drink
Some tourists
Bet they are having a whale of a time
