Who needs the full 90 minutes. It's 2014, guys! Football comes in 6 second increments nowadays.

1-0 Ireland needed just 7 minutes to get off the mark against the U.S.A. last night as David McGoldrick played a pinpoint pass through to the feet of an onrushing Anthony Pilkington who lifted the ball over the 'keeper and home. 1-1  The game ebbed and flowed until just before half-time when Disrekud latched onto a breaking ball in the box and made it all level at the break. 2-1 McGoldrick again turns on the Xavi style and plays a reverse pass into the feet of Robbie Brady who calmly beats the U.S.A. stopper. 3-1 When it's your night, it's your night. James McLean's shot needs a deflection to beat the 'keeper to give Ireland a two goal cushion in the 82nd minute. 4-1 All we needed to cap off a fantastic year of international football was a moment of magic and, boy, did Mr Robert Brady deliver. His free kick gave Hamid no chance and secured the dominant win for Ireland.
