Euro 2012 is here! The first time in a decade finds the Republic of Ireland competing in the finals of a major tournament and we here at Cara Irish Pubs could not be more excited. The last time, and only other time Ireland qualified for the Euros was back in 1988. That tournament included the good, the bad, and the ugly for the Irish - beating England, drawing with the USSR, and losing 1-0 on a late goal by the Netherlands.
Giovanni Trappittoni has his side playing well organized, confident, but defensive football - very Italian, some might say. Group matches against the likes of Croatia, current World and European champions Spain, and former champions Italy is a tough ask for any nation. But, Ireland are flying hight, having gone 15 straight without tasting defeat, a run that includes a goalless draw with Croatia and a 2-0 victory over Italy, both last summer.
