For the colossus of
Dublin, Aviva Stadium, kicking out the second half of the world Cup qualifiers,
the Republic of Ireland and the Welsh National team, the resume of international
play with this match labeled as an all-around Derby.
As the Green Army
considered as a heavy favorite and seeded in first place in their Group.
Many thought of this outcome
to be one filled with plenty of amazing and one of a kind football dominated by
both squad’s and showing off an exhibition filled with lot of techniques and
top class action, after these two came from successful performances in the past
Euros.
Many asking themselves,
whatever happened to that Welsh squad that many fell in love with in those past
Euros, after demonstrating a fighting will and spirit?
Very for their man at
the helm Chris Coleman squad exposing themselves to nothing and despite playing
to a tie, his squad hopes lie on a thread with just a mingy point for both
squads but the locals have the edge in second place.
A dirty and nasty
game the Welsh Dragons put on ninety minutes of this match and seeing how a frustrated
Neil Taylor put the likes of Republic of Ireland defender in the DL for a long period
after his horrendous tackle.
Yes, a horrible play
that made the Everton man suffer a double fracture and to be away in a stretcher
and with oxygen to relive the pain he was going from a double fracture, I mean a
horrible injury that even the folks at home felt its pains.
For the man at the helm
of the Republic of Ireland Martin O’ Neill shaken in his post-match interview,
he was very disturbed and angry at the same time of the way one of his notable
players left the match in such a way.
Very well stating his
discomfort for the outcome of the match with its physicality and dominance from
the Welsh at times, the North Ireland man showed a sort of relief after the play
that could sideline his squad suddenly got the momentum.
Still the bad part
that his squad came short in the scoreboard but readying themselves to their
next compromises in June 11, playing at home against a modest Austria National squad.
Alongside qualifying
rounds in returning in September where the Green Army will play as a local all
of this matches except their Georgia match scheduled of the first week of this
month, in the eyes of many it’s an advantage but for Manager O’ Neill it’s not
a sure three points.
For the Welsh going
to always difficult Belgrade and play a resurgent Serbia, the odds of making a
stand are enormous after losing both Neil Taylor and especially their main play maker
Gareth Bale after his accumulation of yellow cards.
Kudos to this match referee
Italian Nicola Rizzoli, who despite of the elbows and shoves by both squads, he
made sure the match did not get out of hand and reached a boiling point of violence
incidents and fights between both squads.
Still both squads
showed a high incidence in their game that reigned with a lot of plays were
players from both sides, being victims of their own rough game.
As in the end for Wales
Manager in his interview showing off remorse and desperation for words after
the Coleman incident his as his well wishes towards the injured Ireland
players, became visible and worrisome of the upcoming compromises for his squad.
Despite the game negatives,
still both Wales and the Republic of Ireland lads managed to put on game and
pressure both their posts and with no success and for the final score being a
clean sheet for both squads keepers at the end.
To conclude, tackles to
use in both rugby and American football, as the beautiful game should display a
cleanliness and technique that can entertain and cause awe in the one in attendees
and not rage and tension after seeing a shameless spectacle.
