sne Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Imagine being known as the one who ended Lionel Messi's career Close call there and a horror tackle but as soon as you see Messi rolling around on the ground you know that it's nothing serious because if it was he would be laying still and not been flapping around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So shit he was even called up for a foul throw today Lot of youngsters playing but lack a goalscorer badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young they had brilliant players and were essentially the Burnley of international football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ones in Ireland support the manager as they know its a shit system and are happy to be patient as Kenny tries to change the style. guys from England who never played in Ireland want to bring in a MON, Big Sam type manager and go back to hoofball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny is a bit better than Lambert, he got Dundalk into the Europa League group stage and Ireland got to the semi finals in Toulon and has won a lot domestically in Ireland with a decent European management record. Its mainly the players are shit, Irish media moaned for years and years that Glenn Whelan was crap. He would be a star in this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Well tonight we play against Canada. They have steadily improved over the last decade or so,so this will not be an easy game by any means. Was highly embarrasing not to qualify for the last world cup and we got off to a pretty meh start against El Salvador so hopefully we come out and perform better in this one. Gonna go with a tight one and a 1-0 win Reyna with the goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
