After the excitement of the Champions League final less than 24 hours earlier, Ireland v England was something of a damp squib in comparison.
The two sides played out a dismal goalless draw in a game which showcased tired legs at the end of a long season.
Watching a football match in glorious sunshine made some of us nostalgic for last summer's World Cup.

But that quickly changed when the line-ups were announced

With uninspiring play all round, some were drawn to analyse the surroundings.

Things didn't improve before half-time.

The second half saw some changes for both sides, with the substitutions earning a mixed reception at best.

Finally there was some 'excitement' late on

But it ended 0-0, meaning England's winless run against the Republic of Ireland continues.
We wonder how Jack Grealish must be feeling.
