"To be honest, I probably put some of the blame on myself. I had a lot of chances to score and I didn't. It wasn't good enough in front of goal."
"I think we grew as the game went on, they wanted to lower the tempo as much as they could. First half, they dropped really deep and it was difficult to press."
"Second half was good, we should have scored and we had chances."
Troy Parrott took responsibility for the Republic of Ireland's goalless draw with North Macedonia, citing missed scoring chances. He had a goal disallowed for offside and hit the woodwork. Parrott felt the team struggled in front of goal. Head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson noted the team's improved performance in the second half, suggesting they should have pressed earlier. The match was marked by substitutions and a lack of scoring, with other players also missing late opportunities. Seamus Coleman's future in international football was questioned after the match.
