FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[lynchbhoy]

Should have a separate competition for these non countries and b teams like Gibraltar North of Ireland litchenstein Luxembourg San Marino etc

I have to commend the north of Ireland team for scoring today!

Interesting to see how Germany react from this.  Probably rip Ireland into 10 colours of shite on Tuesday night!!!

I've a feeling they'll do exactly that 

Yeah me too.
Scotland should have gotten a point from them though so who knows.

While he looked good at times today as he is a great passer and has v good vision, we can't play wed hooihan against Germany
IMO we need to go there to hold out for a draw as right now we aren't fully up to as good as we could be

Was interesting today to see mon set up the team in his old preferred 352 formation

The wingers have def upped their game but I think mon should get his pal robbo in to give them more training in this position

Mcgeady should eventually take over from hoolihan playing just behind the striker

Great to see Roy keanes expert coaching the midfield paying dividends today.
Hope they can up it and do it against the Germans next time out!

Well your country men are 2 points clear tonight

Poland will get second spot

Poland might , but I suspect Germany will overhaul them and qualify alongside Ireland for the euros !!

As for the north of Ireland. Obv a very handy group, but scoring is an achievement for that group of third tier players!

As a matter of interest which team has more Derrymen starting for them?

I'd say they will still fall behind the top 3 in fairness. If they scrape a few away draws they might have a chance, I couldn't careless in fairness, at least if they do the city will have less balloon begs about during the summer

Poland will get second spot

3rd spot is good enough for a playoff and with all the stronger countries already qualified the playoffs shouldn't be as tough as other years.
Could be Ireland v N Ireland in the playoffs...

I think if we sit back and keep the Germans out for the first 25-30 mins then the belief will grow in our players and the Germans will start to panic. I know there world champions and maybe only one of our players would get in there team but they are humans and after only beating the scots and getting beat by poland they will be at a low. I really think we can take points of them on Tuesday but feel we need to keep them out early on

Who?

Robbie Keane has now firmly established himself in the pantheon of great European Footballers.
Well done Robbie!

The problem with Ireland is our defence is very poor. Wilson is an accident waiting to happen and O Shea was never good enough to play ctr half. They are as good as we've got but I expect Germany will beat us 3 nil.

[ballinaman]

Couldn't believe that Poland result last night. Typical going into Tuesday. Good Irish crowd going too, raging I'm missing it as Germany is always a good trip.
