Market: Both teams to score No
Odds: 10/11 @
Looking to extend on their recent Premier Division flurry, Waterford will travel to Eamonn Deacy Park when they meet Galway on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Galway might have enjoyed what was a stellar May purple patch, John Caulfield’s men have largely come crashing back down to earth. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Bohemians last week, the former Cork City boss has seen his squad muster just a single victory from any of their previous five Premier Division appearances. Signing off June with a downbeat performance as they suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of title contenders Shelbourne, there is no doubt that Galway will be excited by their extended success on home soi…
While many expected England to end their 55 years of hurt on Sunday night, The Three Lions wait for international glory will only go on as they watched Italy break their hearts from the penalty spot.
Despite taking a 1-0 lead after just two minutes thanks to Luke Shaw s fizzed effort, the 67,173 fans in Wembley had to endure a nail-biting finale to this summer s European Championships.
Struggling to match a similar level that they set in the opening exchanges, Italy s Leonardo Bonucci deservedly equalled the scoreline after 67 minutes and epitomized what was another rugged display by Roberto Mancini s men.
With Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka missing the crucial penalty amidst heartbreaking scenes in England s camp, we have taken a look at the major talking points a…
Northern Ireland secured their maiden win at a European Championship finals as a second-half header from Gareth McAuley and a late Niall McGinn strike defeated Ukraine 2-0 in a bitterly cold Lyon.
Defender McAuley powered home Oliver Norwood s deep free-kick in the 49th minute to score his country s first goal at a major tournament since Colin Clarke found the net against Spain at the 1986 World Cup.
Not even heavy rain which turned into huge hailstones in the second half, causing the game to be suspended for two minutes could dampen the spirits of those wearing green inside a sodden Parc Olympique Lyonnais, and they wrapped up a historic win when McGinn lashed home in injury time.
While Ukraine are now mired at the bottom of Group C without a point…
Nani believes Portugal s Euro 2016 quarter-final against Poland will be one to enjoy for the fans, rejecting suggestions that Fernando Santos tactics have turned the team turgid.
Portugal qualified from Group F at Euro 2016 without winning a match and required extra time to see off Croatia 1-0 in Lyon in the last 16.
Three of their four goals during the round robin stage came during a helter-skelter 3-3 draw against group winners Hungary but Fenerbahce forward Nani does not believe Santos is shackling Portugal s creative talents with tactics akin to his 2010-14 spell in charge of Greece
I do not see it like this, he said. We have already played four games and Portugal s football cannot be compared to that of Greece.
I think we have played good games, pu…

Looking to spring a Segunda upset on their travels this weekend, Tenerife will travel to La Romareda on Friday night when they meet a struggling Real Zaragoza.
Starting with the hosts, while Real Zaragoza might have claimed a much-welcomed 2-0 win at home against Cartagena earlier in the month, Los Manos came crashing back down to earth last weekend. Putting in a nightmare display as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at the hands of an already-relegated Ibiza, Fran Escriba’s side have now claimed just a single victory from any of their previous five Segunda appearances. However, despite struggling with their consistency over recent times, the Aragon-based outfit will be glad to make a return to home soil on Friday night. Last seen…
