QuoteDifficult to know who their starting lineup is, of their entire midfield and forwards only Srna, Modric and Mandzukic are always picked. Seem to rotate the others a lot. Would personally expect to see Rakitic and Eduardo over their selections though
That's what I was thinking!
Croatia don't get a great write up.

Probably the wrong thread for this but Irish fans earlier today "welcoming" the English team to their hotel in Krakow.

The same fans who cheer on Manchester United, Liverpool etc etc each week.
Pretty pathetic.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
why would you be even make an effort to go see that mob anyway?!
Bet that ruined the Sky Sports News build up!!!

Same ****s were giving Slaven Bilic constant abuse all throughout the Hungary match.
I'm a bit thick and the sound on my PC isn't working.
What were the Irish singing at England?
Were Irish fans giving Bilic abuse at the game, or was it Irish in Ireland watching on TV?
"Terry is a racist na na na na na" etc as the team pulled up the hotel and booing the team as they got of the bus.
The OTB boys were saying the Bilic was getting it in the neck from a small section of Irish support near him throughout the match the other night.
They were...
Booing
Fields of Athenry (mostly the clean version)
Singing you'll never beat the Irish
Terry is a racist
More booing...
Minnow behaviour.

Imagine if it was the other way round. God Save the Queen as our players got off the coach. It would be a diplomatic incident!!!
Doubt the English players will be getting much kip tonight.....

'Roy Keane believes a point against Croatia is crucial to Ireland chances of making the knock-out stages': http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/inter...eners-crucial/
He's also complementary of McClean; presumably favours him over McGeady.Keane feels if Ireland can produce the goods in Poznan on Sunday night, then they stand every chance of upsetting the odds again in their final two group matches.
"It will be tough for Ireland, but they will have a good go as all Irish teams do," said Keane.
"The biggest game for Ireland is the game against Croatia. They have to get something because if you go to the second game against Spain without a point, it will be very, very difficult."
Keane continued: "But what you might find with Ireland, which they have done in all major tournaments in which they have qualified, is that they get that one big result - but they have to get a result against Croatia."
Keane, 40, continued: "Ireland always bring something different to a tournament - they have spirit, the supporters, that gives you a chance.
"Technically they will be well behind the three teams they are playing, and they will have very little possession, but recently, you look at Chelsea, in football matches, possession has not been the biggest priority - it is about keeping solid.
"They are not bad at set-pieces, and that may be their only hope."
Is Keane to do punditry for ITV on Sunday? If so, won't this be the first Ireland game he's watched in how long?
Maybe Roy has been taking a peep at recorded Ireland games, albeit with a finger primed to press the ff button.
Looks like Berzaghli is out.

Might be mad with 5 decent strikers but could there be a place for Duff, McClean and McGeady? McGeady did alright in the second half on Monday coming in to midfield. Too late now but possibly something which should've been tried out?

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.

None of them really seems to be suited to playing off a striker, so it'd be wasteful.
