Last updated : 14 October 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Germany duly claimed their place at next summer's Euro 2008 finals, leaving the Republic of Ireland rocked at Croke Park, because a win was a "must".

For only the second time in nine Group D qualifying matches the Germans dropped points, and on another night the scoreline would have been a respectable one from an Irish point of view.
