They wont. Be beaten easily for me.

People only remember the lad who misses the decisive penalty, Aldo Serena, Chris Waddle, Maxime Bossis.

I’ve a friend in Prague with work. Said there aren’t many Danes there. What would make me sick is empty seats in a 19k capacity stadium.

Stuart Pearce was fairly well remembered too.
The Ireland lads have kind of got away with that really. I hardly remember who missed in 2002.
I actually don’t think it’s as big a deal anymore as back in likes of 1990.
Browne will be remembered alright as he missed two

The film states that Keane was not feigning injury for the Iran game.

The Czechs have pathetic support.

Worked with Czechs directly for 4 years. They’d age you…

The 4-team element with semi-finals & a final rather than two sides playing a traditional home & away play-off adds a layer of uncertainty. You’ll have had some die hards buying cheap flights for both potential final locations when the draw was made, but many others wouldn’t have been looking that far ahead. It was reported last week that Denmark had provisionally requested a small allocation for Dublin (think all associations had to plan for each eventuality) & it would have allowed us to keep behind the goal for home supporters & stick them into a little corner on one side.

Manning is a very good player, presume Browne will probably struggle to get back in tonight. The likes of Vale and Lawal need to be looked at. Taking the penalty aside, it is time to move on.

Holland, Connolly, Kilbane missed. Finnan and Keane scored. One of the worst penalty shootouts at any World Cup.

Three missing is great for the missers. Hides your shame.

Will you retire from the forum if you’re wrong?

See you in the 51 Juhy pal :handshake:

He played the full 90 minutes of a premier league game against relegation fodder Leicester 2 days later. I think he’d have been fine to play in Tehran.

Looking forward to the pic on THE Side Group

I was chatting to Dan McDonnell in The Orange Goat at lunchtime. I complimented him on his Bullseye analogy in his match preview in today’s Indo. “Ah what a night this could have been”, he sighed. “On we go anyway”, I replied as I departed with my vanilla latte & skinny cappuccino & left Dan to his window stool & laptop.
