4:0 again?

I just took a look at Cyprus's past results on the FIFA
site and we beat them 4:0 on the last two occasions
(1 home 1 away) 2:0 up at half time on both occasions two.


Cyprus (CYP) 0:4 (0:2) Republic of Ireland (IRL)
FIFA WC 2002 Prel. Comp. UEFA NICOSIA CYPRUS - 24.03.2001

Republic of Ireland (IRL) 4:0 (2:0) Cyprus (CYP)
FIFA WC 2002 Prel. Comp. UEFA DUBLIN REPUBLIC OF IRELAND - 06.10.2001

So easy money then? (It's pretty rare for us to score 4 or more
against anyone though).


Mind you they did beat the European Champions recently!!
Greece (GRE) 1:2 (0:1) Cyprus (CYP)
Friendly 2001 ATHENS GREECE - 14.11.2001

They drew with Slovenia recently so they are no pushover.

mm think it'll be a different prospect this time out, i'm just thinking about the difficulty we had last campaign with flippin albania at home. ireland's u21's are 0-0 with the cypriots right now. i hope for an early goal tomorrow (uh, duhh..).

Eh, No!

65' Ireland [1 - 0] Cyprus

34' [1 - 0] Whelan

an edgy 2-1 win for us i think

ill be watchin it on the radio

I dont think it will be 4-0 this time around. They have made a lot of progress, and as kerr pointed out there is a right few players playing on the continet. We have lots of players missing, i reckon it will be more like 1-0 or 2-1

Ireland is leading 3-0 in the under 21's.

3:0 for the under 21's at full time.
Similar result tomorrow will go down well.
Reid, Duff, and Keane methinks.

Who got the goals for the U21s?

Well its a bit of a late response but:-
Glenn Whelen, John Fitzgerald and Kevin Doyle.

Apparently Cyprus didn't have a chance of note the
entire 90 mins (BBC Ceefax).

Hope tomorrow is the same.

This is a game we just cannot afford to not win. I'd say we'll win by at least 2 clear goals, I hope so anyway...
