The experienced pundit had a lot to say about the players in the aftermath of Saturday’s game.
There was a lot of optimism before kick-off in Bordeaux that Ireland could get a result against Belgium following the encouraging opening game performance against Sweden.
However, the Boys in Green’s hopes were diminished when three second half goals gave the Belgians a much deserved victory, despite an especially questionable refereeing decision from the controversial official, which worked against Ireland.
After the game, Eamon Dunphy was his usual forthright self, questioning the Irish players’ overall concentration levels, culminating in the use of a textbook word that Dunphy has not treated viewers to in quite some time.
Was he right in what he was saying here?
Eamon Dunphy rues lapses in concentration that cost Ireland. https://t.co/1P5IcjBu05
