Beaten But Unbowed

Pic of Day: Dejected Irish players after the Republic's world cup qualifier loss Thursday night to Czechia in Prague. And it was close. 2-2 at full time, 2-2 after extra time. Ireland lost it in the penalty shootout but despite the defeat there was a general sense that the "Boys In Green" are again competitive at the international level. Inpho photo/Ryan Byrne.
