FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Hound]

Roscommon. 100%

We can beat the good teams (unless in actual knockout) and we go mental when we do. And we've even got a trophy of two in the cabinet, like the Connacht title or the equivalent Iceland cup 😄

RTÉ :

Here's a list words the Republic of Ireland players, and their manager, used to describe their own performance after Thursday night's draw with Switzerland at the Aviva Stadium.

Mettle. Bottle. Character. Commitment. Heart. Never-say-die attitude. Durability.

And here's a list of words they used to describe the Swiss.

Top team. Good. Good team. Quality. Strong. Pacey.

And that, in the most basic terms possible, is the story of the match.

"Are we the best team in the group?" Mick McCarthy asked rhetorically. "Probably not. But we don't half keep going.

Ireland have consistently shown two things over the course of the last three years: technical inefficiency, and enormous heart.

It's true Ireland have all sorts of flaws: a worrying inability to establish anything resembling controlled possession, a midfield that sometimes looks porous even with three central men running themselves into the ground, a lack of goals, a lack of imagination and creativity.«

Due to the short term nature of the appointment McCarthy is doing a short term job. Reliable players, hard to beat, but zero flair. Compare and contrast with the U21s, playing samba football.

We are producing players, its just when they get to England the attacking flair is beaten out of them

Great result for the Georgians

It's only a great result for Ireland, if Ireland go and win in Georgia.

That's it in a nutshell! The Georgians will take confidence from this!

So a bad result for Ireland then? Any one taking points of Denmark has to be a good thing

The Georgians were already confident of doing well in their home ground.
Ireland will do well to get a draw there, the Danes were hanging on for dear life  in the last 1/4 for their measly point.

You're being very generous. They're an absolutely awful team run by an organisation that would rival an African country for open corruption.
But sticking to football their best player plays for Everton so that means they're very, very bad.
