Ireland beat Portugal 2-0 in important World cup qualifier
What a win
Nope, you didn't just misread that!
Lowly Ireland have just beaten Portugal and it wasn't a lucky deflection or anything like that. We beat them playing excellent, free flowing and confident football.
Portugal arrived smiling and expecting a routine win, but the fighting Irish had other ideas and social media has been alive with funny posts about it.
Here is a taste of them.
Thanks as always for stopping by everyone
Peace Out

An important win! Keeps the chances for the playoffs alive. Good lcuk against Hungary!
Well if there's one thing about Ireland football teams and qualifying. We never do it the easy way!
The campaign looked over after losing to Armenia in game one, so great to still have a shot, but Hungary will be much more up for a fight than Portugal were and it's away from home.
We have a fighting chance though, and I'd have taken that. Win and we've a play off.
After beating Portugal. It's a pity, as had other results been better, we could have potentially topped this group! Coulda woulda shoulda
A beer to that.
!BEER
We also did startbad with a deaw away at North Macidonia. And had 2 lucky wins against Wales.
Ye demolished Liechtenstein at least and can book your flights! We'll have to see how this draw goes tomorrow and hope for two big performances in March and a home draw for final if we manage to win our semi final 🙏
But tbh ro be even talking about a playoff is miraculous given our calamitous start to the group!
You are in pot 4. So it will become an ever tougher route to the World Cup.
Maybe Italy or Denmark would be the best.
But it js a winner takes all per gane. So you never know what will happen.

Beating Portugal who are 5th in the world was unbelievable, but seeing Ronaldo getting sent off and the fans making an eegit out of him was PRICELESS!!
