    Argentina to play in Lansdowne opener

    DIEGO MARADONA'S Argentina will take on Ireland in the first soccer international at the new Lansdowne Road.

    The South Americans have agreed to be the high-profile guests on August 18, 2010 when the refurbished venue returns to the spotlight.

    FAI chief executive John Delaney stated earlier this week that a game had been booked but the association would not be revealing the identity of the opposition until the New Year.

    However, the Irish Independent can confirm that the two-time World Cup winners will be Ireland's guests on the historic night.

    Excellent. They were my choice in the thread a few months asking about preferred first opponents. It's been a while.

    I suppose they'd be difficult enough alright. You'd never know though the FAI could have it as part of a package like they've done before to make sure the lesser matches sell out. That would discourage a lot of people that would be just interested in going and watching the big guns. That's a long way off anyway we'll have to get tickets for SA first!!!!

    This match will mean nothing only a month after we win the World Cup with David Connolly scoring a hat trick in the final
