I don't see it happening. They need the win for sure to catch up to Croatia, but then again they only drew against Italy, and Ireland has been drawing in a lot of games.
What do you guys think?

Easy Spain win, probably in the 2-0/3-0 range.

spain will control at least 65% of possession, possibly more. if they cant win against an ireland team which will be looking strictly to counter then they should be ashamed

Its true but it comes down to how much they will win by. I don't think they care about crushing Ireland 3-0. If they go up 1, they will take the ball and pass it around.

^Should win by at least two I think. Leading by 1 is just a freak penalty goal away from a draw and since Croatia already owned Ireland and Italy will probably also beat them too, Spain can't take that chance.

Don't try and overthink this one, Ireland are an honest and solid unit but are second to Spain in EVERY department.
It's a reach but the only thing that can beat Spain is......Spain.

Spain are not keeping the ball like they used too, but they are irresistible going forward.

They're keeping the ball well enough now. A 2nd goal will pretty much end this one.

Irish will not score this game is over. The only question is will spain score 1 or 2 more goals. I think spain gets 1 more then just eats clock. No way Irish can get a score.

Can't believe Spain only scored one goal in the first half for all their opportunities. Two more would be nice :/

Game over. Worst that can happen is Ireland gets one lucky goal, which is still less likely then Spain scoring again. Cash it guys!
