I was shouting for Scots. Out.

Cape Verde. Out.

Now onto Spain as I holiday there every year and I like the Spaniards.

Cape Verde was on really late and we had plans for the beach early Saturday, but I decided to stay up for their game against Argies anyway, as unlike most I fancied them to run them very close. I'd watched their other games and was impressed with their team work, attitude, keeper and ability to play out of tight spaces with aplomb. There is a lesson here for Ireland, heart, team work and ability to play out from the back goes a long long way in International football.
