Like the Brian Boru, its days are numbered. Construction has started again on the new Valencia stadium after a gap of what must be at least 14 years.
I was lucky enough to be inside it once and at an all night street party beside it another time.
Maybe my favourite stadium on Earth, possibly in a tie with St. Tiernachās Park in Clones.
There was some atmosphere tonight. But the Spanish are great home supporters. Underrated actually, up there with the Dutch.
I donāt recall Spain playing many games in Valencia since Gerry Armstrong humiliated them.
My sense of the Spanish is outside of Seville which will always be the home of the Spanish national team theyāre not great supporters.
Spain 2 Ireland 0 in November 1988 is the definition of an intimidating atmosphere which makes the away team capitulate.
We returned the favour five months later. Included in one of the match programme for an Ireland game of that period (they used to be sold in newsagents) was a mention of France Footballās ranking of the worldās most atmospheric stadiums. Anfield ranked number one. Lansdowne Road reached the heacdy heights of number 20 on this list.
We used to be a proper country, when we were shit.
Any of the games Iāve seen them in groups and that they seem vociforous. Watching that tonight, I kept wishing I was there.
I didnāt see the game tonight but itās an incredible stadium. The third tier was added in the early 90s I think. It probably wasnāt as good in 1982. It was probably at its best when Valencia were going well in Europe under Hector Cuper, specifically the semi-finals against Barcelona in 2000 and Leeds in 2001.

From all the pictures Iāve seen from fan views, Iām surprised thereās not more of this.
Germany look very Nazi with those black socks.
Particularly the number 6 on this near side.

That wasnāt good. Only other time I saw him was the Europa League final last year and this was similar. Sane looks the best attacker out there.
Heās kind of a waterier martin odergaard

Brian Kerrās pronunciation of āNetoā is magnificent.
Liverpool have a great record of signing midfielders from the Bundesliga. Naby Keita (lad) currently of Robbie Keaneās Ferencvaros for instance. Thiago Alcantara. So I wouldnāt be a tall worried.
Net Toe is it?
You canāt really adequately write the salty Dub pronunciation of names like Neto and Mata.
