This is sad.

This is the adrenaline rush of mourning is gone already.

And I think the worst thing is...

there was an attachment there to this team that was growing this was a summer love and summer's over now just when you saw them what really got me at one point there last night was in the final whistle when all the squad gathers and just stares up at the Irish section just staring at them back mostly getting applauded back I imagine because what can you say to them?

Within the match, stupid errors.

Within the game, we stopped playing ball in the second half.

We stopped having outlets.

Tio Dozzi Agbeni was playing his own match.

Did a little Gareth Bale run there in his last contribution in the game.

That throw-in by Jacob Bryan, which was flicked on, which Troy Parrott headed on, the keeper saved around the post, that was stemmed from Agbeni just getting the ball and running in the right wing with no one to help him.

What happened in the second half compared to the first half?

In the first half, we're looking good.

Nathan Collins hits the bar.

later on, Malumbi hits the post, but before that we're playing a bit of ball, playing it with a bit of confidence.

The Czechs are giving us an unbelievable amount of space in midfield.

They don't want to do it.

And suddenly this is an unrecognisable team from last year, but the result is still the same as every campaign since we last qualified for the World Cup in 2002.

You were less than a year old.

This is growing and growing and growing for people.

But even at the final whistle, it was like, but this can't be over.
