Football is a simple game.
That fact was never more evident as Ireland took the lead in the 3rd minute of Ireland vs Georgia as the boys in green got off to a dream start.
Shane Duffy got what was not the most attractive goal he'll ever score, and Cyrus Christie deserves credit for the assist, but you may have missed how the Middlesbrough man came to the decision to play it in for Duffy.

Put it in the box...
PUT IT IN THE BOX!

If someone asks for a clip of what Irish football is all about, you'd be hard pushed to find a more accurate one to describe us. It was as if the goalkeeper decided he was coming to collect the ball regardless of what it was going to land. A moment of madness.
But you make your own luck as they say, and that's why you PUT IT IN THE BOX.
