Really tough draw but we wouldânt want it any other way, will make the summer next year, canât wait.
The famous Irish fighting spirit mate.
We beat the Gerries FFS. Belgium arenât any great shakes. They will be favourites for sure, but no reason we shouldnât fancy a result against the wheat drinking, chocolate making cunts.

Go again.
Brian Kerr is a far better pundit then Richie.
USA will have Belgium invaded by the Euros. The terrorist haven will be destroyed.
Sweden are beatable, Belgium will be very tough and Italy are an ageing team who will have already been eliminated by the time we play them. Iâd say we will qualify.

Are Belgium not the Number 1 side in the world at the moment?
Brian Kerr schooling Richie again here, great stuff.
No.1?What the fuck have they done?

Good draw
Yes, but theyâre pretty shit. They were terrible in the last World Cup - dull and uninspiring - and a Chris Coleman managed team took 4 points off them in the qualifying group for next summer.
Belgium are quite a laborious side, theyâll try and make things physical but they have a real lack of quality passers and invention in midfield.
No, they are no.9 according to the world soccer rankings⌠http://thepowerrank.com/world-football-soccer/
After watching that interview, Chris Coleman is an alright sort.
Another 3 versions of the fields with an inglorious exit. Trappatoni crying with laughter
They did win four games in the last World Cup before losing to beaten finalists Argentina at the quarter final stage. Thatâs one more win in a single tournament than what Eire have achieved in the three World Cups and two European Championships that theyâve qualified for. I would expect Belgium to take care of Eire.
Eireâs first game against Sweden will be critical. Iâd give them a decent chance there. If Eire win that theyâll probably advance. In the 1986 & 90 World Cupâs where you had 16 from 24 advancing from the quarter finals, three points was often enough to advance. Uruguay even made it to last 16 of 1986 World Cup drawing two and losing one (6-1 to Denmark) of their pool games.
Argentina were shit in the last World Cup, drawn in an easy Group and struggling to be any sort of attacking threat as the guy labelled as the âbest in the worldâ shat his togs in the knockout stages.
Belguim are a team of individuals. One of the best top seeds we could have hoped for . Italy probably the toughest second seed available and Sweden are pure mediocrity. All in all tough enough but certainly have a chance to qualify . Norn Iron on the other handâŚ
Incidentally the guy youâre referring to scored twice in the European Cup against Roma a few weeks ago. Isnât that your benchmark of greatness scoring against Italian sides in the European Cup? In the interests of a balanced discussion and all that I donât remember you commenting on it at the time.
