We'll get through the Summer

So I'm pulling an all-nighter here at the office. Busier than I ever want to be and mostly cranky. Like most, if not all, of you I am very upset about the WC. I was in Japan, I was in Paris, Dublin and Basel. I love the national team and the fans and it's one of the things I miss most about home (after my Mam, Dad and sisters :) ).

That said, I'm going to be miserable this summer. Let us, however, help each other through this. More reports of new players, analysis of teams in the WC who may be in our qualifying group and lastly, some encouragement that the best is ahead of us!

and heres hoping for more entertaining defeats of england/switzerland/turkey and any other footballing country one is supposed to hate during said competition ;)

Or just do like me,I'm off to Canada next June for the Grand Prix in Montreal,will stay around there for 3 weeks,won't be much World Cup coverage over there.

its going to be tough being over here in tanland when the world cup comes around.

You have the right idea Dublin 12 getting the hell out of her for the summer to heading of on Jan 18th 2006 to Australia (how do i manage to get these digs in on these threads) Genius:D

well beeee careful, i'd say by next year they'll have it, even in the relative wilds of quebec. tv5 should have some too at the v. least since they show ligue 1 on sundays. good luck avoiding it!

Damn you must be more ****ed about it than anyone. right on your doorstep.

am probably stating the obvious and making ya feel worse sorry.

Hope we do something like the US Cup or something to give us games over the summer. I'd like some sort of mini tournament with the Welsh, Scots and maybe the Belgians or Danes just to keep our international interest ticking over... will never happen though.

The metros are used to that sort of stuff, up two goals with 25 minutes left and then losing. Winter wouldnt be the same if a metros fan would not be thinking of what could have been. The ref didnt help either with on two of the revs goals (bad corner kick call+Khano Smith steam rolling a metro or two). Still I hope Mo Johnston is kept on full time. I thought he had Steve Nicol's number after the first game but the team let him down in the end.
