my predictions
0-0 V Croatia
0-3 V Spain
1-2 V Italy
Sad to say but I cant see us getting past the group stage.
I hope im wrong but that away game V Russia in Moscow back in September really highlighted just how limited we are.Russia could and should have beaten us 5-0.
Trap doesn't try to go out and win matches, he first tries not to get beat.
We got very lucky in the qualifiers getting Estonia, the match V Spain where they will likely have 70 % possession could be embarrassing.

Good and all that Spain are, who's the last team to put 3 past a Trap team?

Russia beat Ireland 3-2 In Dublin in the qualifiers
Australia beat Ireland 3-0 in a friendly 2009 not picking McClean is just such a bad decision |

Actually apologies, thought you had Croatia in last! My bad! Thinking croatia are a bit underrated, havent seen the odds but thinking they would be a decent outside bet for the tournament

I still cant believe that he didnt pick McClean even in the squad !!
I mean JESUS CHRIST ... FFS how on earth can he continually pick the utterly mediocre Darron Gibson who has warmed the Man.United bench for about 5 years, and done absolutely feck all in that time. Gibson then transfers to Everton scores one goal, and makes out like he's suddenly Iniesta. there's a good chance that some players will get injured between now and the end of the season and that will hopefully force Trap's hand surely when you know what the players you have got can do, doesn't it make sense to try out new players while you have the chance. |

Looking at the squad though, really there were only 3 players that could be dropped to make way for McClean
Gibson, Andrews or Fahy And Trap just wouldn't drop any of them He will start with McGeady & Duffer, Doyle , Keane, Andrews & Whelan as his front six unless somebody is injured regardless of form |

By:
your last comment there shaggykev is spot on and says it all .. he will pick players "regardless of form "
same problem as the rugby team |

think the fact that we have to play three class teams in 10 days will expose our limited resources.we must try to win the first game,not try to scrape a draw,,too late to bring in mc clean and integrate him fully.
