AFTER AN UTTERLY dissapointing start to our European Championship campaign, Ireland take on one of the best teams ever to pull on football boots tomorrow night. No biggie.
Ahead of the clash with current world and European champions Spain, manager Giovanni Trapattoni has faced questions about the system he’ll employ in Gdansk.
Will he stick with his trusty system of 4-4-2 and will the same personnel slot into those familiar roles? Or will we see that 4-5-1 idea he mentioned in Budapest?
There has been hints from the Irish camp that Jon Walters will start up front and rather than look for his skipper, Robbie Keane, to fill his much-mentioned ‘Totti role’, he may instead elect to swamp the Spaniards’ renowned midfield with an extra green jersey.
Did someone say, Paul Green?
So, let us know what you think? Should Ireland record goal-scorer, Robbie Keane, sit this one out?
Aaaaahhhhh happy days!
5 year unbeaten run…
Yes, lets list the European giants who went and failed:
Newcastle Falcons, Newport Gwent Dragons (x2), Edinburgh, Leeds Tykes (I’m not joking, this is the real list), Cardiff Blues, Calvisano, Beneton Treviso (x2), London Wasps, Castres & London Irish…
Confirmed: Everest conquered.
All three French internationals were no match for the mighty Munster. For updates, tune into the Pro D2.
How sad are you to spend your time looking up that info. That’s noy easily got! How far out of your way did you have to go? Get a life and get over yourself.
USAP were virtually unbeatable in that stadium before Munster won there, not just in Europe. I seem to recall something like a 35 match unbeaten run before Munster played there.
Must be a burden to have such a large chip on your shoulder.
I would say its not much of a burden as it well balanced with a chip on both shoulders. How sad to waste your time looking all that info up in the first place.
Those days are long gone.
