last two friendlies against brazil have been fairly uninspiring. id rather play a big european team ie. germany holland or spain
i would prefer a big european team myself, however the uninspiring game against brazil the last time was down to the fact that we had a temporary manager in charge who should have had his association with coaching our national sides, ended quite some time ago.....Mr Givens take a bow!!Originally Posted by dan o d
hopefully my love for football is back by then!!!
I would have preferred Argentina/Spain or Holland myself.
I think we should play some games against Scotland, Wales and Norn Iron. Nice short trips for away supporters, none of us are playing at the world cup, and we'd have a better chance of winning, to improve our world ranking.
And I'd love to see a match or two against an LOI select, but I doubt that's going to happen.

The Real World Cup Final!
Ireland against Costa Rica?!

not really in favour of this, 3rd time playing Brazil in recent times, surely there are other teams in Europe we could play that would attract a big audience?
Argentina are set for the opening game in the Aviva

where do we go from here?
Funny out
You've that to look forward to in 2011.
The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
France would be handy..................

You beat me to it
I won't get tickets for that one though!!
Zzzzz. We'll have enough of that in the next few years anyway.
Champions.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I don't see why the Zzzzz was called for, I'm actually really excited about the 4 nations torunament. You never hear the rugby heads going "Oh no, not another crucial 6 nations match against England at Croker", so why should the football equivalent draw any less excitement?

beacause wales and scotland are a great deal better at rugby than they are at football!
We're not playing England in this for a start. Besides that, Wales, Scotland and the North are mediocre sides at best. Would you honestly be more interested in a friendly against Scotland than Spain or Germany?

but how often do we play the likes of spain or germany? the little bit of competitive edge the home tournament brings is far more desireable than a non event brazil friendly that is nothing more than a photo op
Competition against the North? Yes
Competitions against Wales and Scotland? Not a chance. Nobody will go to these games. Theres no rivalry. What do Irish know about Scotland or Wales? More of a rivalry with Poland or hell Lithuania I'd say.
Not removing until:
Bohs get 10,000 attendance for LOI match
Bohs qualify for group stages of Champions League
Brian Murphy returns to Dalymount
Damien Richardson named Bohs manager
Will there be much of a competitive edge to this? I can't imagine there being much prestige to winning the tournament.
I agree on the Brazil friendly by the way, nearly everyone who wants to see Brazil play in Dublin has at this stage. There must be other more interesting teams available.
Champions.
