Irish soccerball nil - That boy Jinky will save us (Part 2)

Basically have 4 games v Holland and Greece to qualify if the French beat everyone. Not an impossible task. Wieghorst in the Dutch squad shows they are far from unbeatable.

Have you seen the results under kenny

He’s blinded by the good football we play

I think the Greeks will do us. At least once.

Spock was on OTB a few weeks ago saying we should use Croatia as a template for how we play. Should be simple enough seeing as we definitely have midfielders like Luka Modric in tow

France won’t take 6 points off the Dutch. The Dutch would have a good chance of taking at least 3 there.

I nearly think it’s more likely we’ll beat the Dutch or France 1-0 than get 6 points off Greece.

And that Croatian footballers have good technical skills in their blood.

I agree. No way we’re consistent enough to do the double over the Greeks

Spock can just convince a fella he’s as good as Luka Modric and the job is oxo

If it follows the formlines of his tenure so far we will get 1 point from France and Netherlands games, 3 from Greece and 4 from Gibraltar. That would be grim.

That’s one more point than I have us getting but also one more defeat.

I’d be somewhat hopeful that Ferguson can make a difference but wouldn’t be shocked if we lost 6 games in the group.

That’ll include one win against Greece.

They’ll take 3 off the Dutch Friday i reckon. Frankie De Jong out for Dutch.

If it follows the form lines of his tenure so far we’ll fail to beat Gibraltar in the Aviva but have a good uplifting win over there when we’re already out of the running.

France aren’t all that good. Doubt we’d beat them though.

They’ve barely had a shot on target since losing the world cup final. Confidence is shot I’d say.

All joking aside, likes of Lloris and Varane might be a big loss.

Marian Pahars over Latvia!
