Fuck off mate. Take a look at that squad. There's barely a decent player in there yet they're always knocking on the door and deserve a lot of credit for being where they are.
Not every nation has the money put into the game that England does. The World Cup isn't the fucking Champions League and there'd be nothing embarrassing about a team like ROI getting to the World Cup. Can't believe myself that a nation like Ireland even have the nerve to attempt to grace the World Cup despite not having £200 million worth of players in the squad,
As an Irishman - this snobbish bullshit from people like yourself reeks of arrogance. Ireland, and every other small nation that gets to the World Cup deserves credit. Nobody's going to force you to watch the games. And if you really want to talk about embarrassment, come back and chat after England's inevitable loss on penalties after yet another in an endless cycle of uninspired, listless and yes, embarrassing World Cup appearances.
Prick.
I empathise with you, I was so proud to see Greece win Euro 2004 and to this day can’t believe the bitter, jealous put downs Greece gets for ‘boring their way to win’. No credit given by English fans despite beating hosts Portugal, as well as favourites Spain and France on the way. Greece has a population under 1/6 of England, no money to speak of, and their main sport is Basketball anyway. Every English fan would kill for England ‘bore their way’ to victory. Biggest irony is, Sven received dogs abuse for playing boring football, yet he achieved 3 quarter finals, a stage that neither the previous two managers, nor the next three, could get near. Maybe, just maybe, England isn’t good enough to play expansive football and should stick to boring football?Fuck off mate. Take a look at that squad.

The less bus parkers the better, after the last Intl tournament which was poor I want to be entertained.
DifficuIt to compare just in terms of a front three, who all have different skills. I think our advantage is about our whole team as a unit. A testament to Poch, both in terms of crafting a team, and in developing players.Our front 3 are now up there with the very best as a unit I’m not sure id swap them as a 3 for any 3 in Europe.When you consider their age as well.
Even neymar cavani mpabbe would be a tough call as cavani is massive downgrade on Kane age/ability wise.
11 goals and 3 assists in 12 qualifying games for Denmark.
He's the main man and by far their best player. Instead of him passing to dele and kane, everyone is passing it to him in and around the box. He's also a great finisher when given the chance, but has less of those at club level because he passes so much.Very interesting. How does the way he plays for Denmark differ from the he plays for us?
Eriksen is class, now if he can just do that more consistently...he's inches from being a worldie to be sure.
I couldn't give a toss about international football, but I'm empathetic enough to understand how it could make you feel passionately that you must defend your country from criticism...
However, this Ireland side plays dire stuff and I blame O'Neil for that. Sure you don't have the resources of an England. But you've got vastly more than Iceland and Ulster so I suggest it's not entirely through necessity. Bad night for you tonight but maybe it will be a first step to getting the old Ireland back.
