FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Baile Brigín 2]

Bazunu starts

Collins starts up front. Is Connolly lame?

I understand the phrase is he has a lifestyle.

He was told to say nothing and leave Luxembourg think a little lad would start. He had to Tweet away

[Itchy]

Luxembourg a lot better than I thought they'd be, any sort of a win here would do.

[tintin25]

Luxembourg aren't the whipping boys they used to be....results have improved considerably over the years...especially against the bigger countries.  Ireland lucky they aren't 1 down.  Would take any sort of win at this stage.

[Milltown Row2]

Turkey are having a great start! And Malta are beating Slovakia 2 nil half time

[sid waddell]

Collins had to score that chance

[Itchy]

Brown is a good man to get on the end of stuff in the box but some amount of moves end with him slowing it down or making a bad decision. Youd expect more from Doherty but he looks like he has zero confidence. Hard to see where we get the goal from.

[Captain Obvious]

Not great, only one decent chance all half,  that Collins attempt on 18 minutes. Another Irish goalkeeper almost caught out drifting off his line.

In the Aviva, no-one can hear you scream.

Hes been impressive the keeper, looks fullbof confidence when travers was very nervous in Belgrade. Of course big difference in the quality of the 2 opponents.

Which begs the question. How, especially seeing them train, could Kenny possibly think Travers is a better option?

[Itchy]

Luxembourg more likely to score than us, its been very disappointing so far.

[sid waddell]

The Luxembourgeois and especially Vinnie T are controlling this now

[weareros]

Looks like we got the Group of Death.

[Itchy]

Need long on to run in behind and hendrick for a bit of strength around the middle.

[RedHand88]

This is a new low.
