Richard Dunne: 'We can progress'

Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne believes that his country can still qualify for the latter stages of Euro 2012.

Ireland opened up their Group C campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Croatia on Sunday, and they must now secure four points from their final two games to have a chance of progressing.

"We'll be written off and not given a chance. But we've got 180 minutes of football to go. We have to still believe. We want to beat Spain," Dunne told The Sun.

Ireland face Spain on Thursday.
