International friendlies have it all don’t they?
Unbelievable atmosphere, stellar football and of course Jonathan Walters.
He’s captaining Ireland tonight, fair play to him.
Whether it be in an international friendly or in the World Cup Final, leading out your country is an unbelievable honour.
And it was going oh so well for Walters after scoring an absolute screamer that will undoubtedly have him as a shoo-in for the Ballon D’or.

Hurray! Ireland are 1-0 to the good.
And then Uruguay scored and spoiled the party.

Randolph could have done better but this isn’t about him.
Walters was on hand to save the day.
3 yards out, an open goal. Come on Jon, put the Boys in Green ahead going into halftime.
44: CHANCE!
Jon Walters should have a brace, but somehow, he's missed this chance! #COYBIG pic.twitter.com/G4th3tiFPO— eir Sport (@eirSport) June 4, 2017
