Maigh Eo v Corcaigh, 1600, 3ú Lúnasa, Páirc an Crocaigh

[cicfada]

Mayo should win this by 4 or 5 imo. Kerry will beat our lads by 7 or 8 and it then sets up  the ultimate test of mental strength for mayo. It's the one team that mayo have historically had problems with and if mayo come  through this they will win the AI final. I believe Donegal will beat the dubs in the other semifinal . Kerry will be without cooper so it's a good opportunity for mayo this year to beat them. Cork have forwards but no midfield and this is where mayo will beat them .

Beating Kerry would have no impact at all on Mayo being able to beat Dublin. That's about more than just mental strength.

[westbound]

I don't think Mayo have a mental problem with Kerry at all. It's ONLY Kerry in AI FINALS that's the problem. In 1996 Mayo had no trouble beating Kerry in the AI semi for example. They'be beaten them in the league as well over the years so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Mayo beat Kerry in a semi final. I'd still expect them to lose the final.

That's pretty much it.
Mayo's 'issues' are with the All-Ireland final itself.
Against ANYONE.

Cannot see our lads slipping up on Sunday. They've put too much work in to haul themselves back up this level yet again, and despite what some are suggesting, I can't see complacency being an issue either - they are too wise for that at this point.
I've no doubt Cork will put it up to us - remember how they came out all guns blazing against Dublin in the league final in the first half? - but ultimately I think we are better, and will have the greater desire to win on the day. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

[Captain Obvious]

What happens after that is anyone's guess.

to reach and lose another All Ireland final?

[macdanger2]

This will be very close imo. Cork's 1st half performance in League semi final cannot be overlooked . Their 2nd half has been well documented.
Might pop into this game in CP. Two cracking games on the cards I think.

That's one nagging doubt I'd have about Sunday, Cork for those 35 minutes and Mayo for about 45 minutes in 2012 are the two sides who have destroyed the current Dublin side for a time.

Pretty much summed it up perfectly Jinxy at this stage New York or London would have to fancy their chances if the managed to get to an All Ireland final against us!!!!

One Sé, Touché or Trichet, that is the question.
