Ireland beaten by Sweden

Just finished watching Ireland being beaten 2-1 by Sweden in the World Cup qualifiers.

Looks like we won't be going to Rio. So depressing.

Richard Dunne got the man of the match award afterwards. And he was indeed our best player.

But the best player on the field by a long chalk was Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimović. He was a real game changer.

So this seems to mark the end of the road for Giovanni Trapattoni. I don't think many will look back on his time in charge with any great fondness.

So the question now is who will replace him?
