    Obviously I know I shouldn't be looking past Slovakia but if it does end up being against the O6 in the final I'm 100% going, * it.

    I would have to disagree. A solid back line and GK but midfield wise we have very little creativity no natural 10 and very little ability to keep the ball while up top the fact that we scored 1 goal in 8 qualifying games via a recognised striker says it all about our attacking options. IMHO this current Irish squad from a talent standpoint is the worst squad and has been for a few years now in fairness since the 1970's.

    Players coming into some good form before this.

    Captain or not Doherty starts ahead of Coleman every time.

    Slovakia is going to be the hardest part of this, I'd fancy us to go through if we get a result there.

    Finland and Bulgaria the other 2. Considering how bad we are at the moment this is a draw that is actually about our level as Finland and Wales while in better form then us are nothing scary and Bulgaria are even worse then we are at the moment.

    It is being played but behind closed doors at least that is the current status for the game.

    Well one of the messes the old regime at the FAI left behind with Mick McCarthy as manager and Stephen Kenny appointed as U21 manager and successor to McCarthy at the same time before the start of the Euros was sorted finally today. With the pushing back of the Euro playoffs that left McCarthy out of contract and Kenny supposedly meant to take over yet McCarthy was supposed to be in charge for the current Euro campaign. Given the financial basket case that Delaney and Co left at the FAI I was not surprised to see that no new contract was offered to McCarthy and Stephen Kenny now officially takes over as Ireland manager. Have to say he did a terrific job with the current U21 side the past 2 seasons but obviously is untested at the top level so we will see. There is hope for the future with some talented young players but for the present Kenny inherits through no fault of McCarthy's a truly dreadful Ireland team to see out this current Euro campaign.
