FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[imtommygunn]

I don't like seeing McClean start as he's too predictable. He tends to go at players a lot and they've him sussed quickly. When you bring him on against tired legs he can actually be quite effective...

Brady had a stinker but still can be very good. Walters is our most effective player at holding the ball up and his work rate allows us to play one up much easier so should generally start in my view...

Walters had a poor game but in fairness he has been are best player in this campaign by a mile. The brady Mclean combo was a horror show. James is a really really limited player but at least he has a go and sometimes when we have no creativity just running at defenders and having a shot can get you somewhere. Robby Brady maybe a good player but he has to do it when it matters not in friendlies against Oman and USA he was also shocking against Poland at the Aviva and was responsible for their goal

McClean is limited and had a stinker last day out .  However he nearly always gives energy and whips in a good cross.

Shane Long if fit has to start the next day . If he doesn't we don't deserve to go to France.

Or McClean!!

We should bring him on at the end if we are winning to goad the Bosnian fans

I'd happily take that!

How did we get the second leg at home by the way?

Luck of the draw, there was no seeding for order of games, only who who would play who.

Sure jaysus, in that case we were as good as seeded

[An Watcher]

Ukrainians and Swedes were out first.  Thought we were gonna end up with the Hungarians.  Even that would have been tricky though.  Not one bit confident but then again I wasn't one bit confident about getting anything from the Germans

Can people stop calling Argentina "Argies", its that type of shite the british red tops printed during the falklands war.

plus 1.

Think it is a generational thing tbf . Younger posters here mightn't remember the sneery snide way the term began.

A pig ignorant way imo to describe Argentina.

Rugby lads on TV3 were using it yesterday at times.

Very inappropriate. Argy bargy is a sloppy term as well.
