I am so convinced.Quote:
Calm down. The point I was making was that the whole tour was unpromising from the start (hastily arranged, manager ambivalent, player withdrawals, superior opposition etc) and to cap it all, there was even a political demonstration when we got there! Yet despite all that, it proved a useful exercise. That's all.
If a story goes on long enough you might be able to throw in a reference to the American Civil War and justify it.
An event hardly the size of a insects backside, just happened to be an essential part of the story, by an irrelevant but polite bunch of archaic placard holders compared to the unmentioned fantastic 5***** reception laid on for the squad by the ever hospitable Chicago finest.
Is there a chance that the Ecuador and Bolivia games will be live on the net?
livefooty.doctor-serv.com this is a good site but they might not have international matches.

Friend of mine living in Boston told me less than 20,000 tickets have been sold for the Bolivia game, could be a half empty stadium awaiting the boys in green in beantown
Would you pay to see this u21/B Team? I was going to fly out for this one but I'm not flushing $250 down the ****ter for that joke of a team...especially when with that money I'd be only $50 short of flying to Dublin to watch a (somewhat) better team play.Quote:

Ecuador are currently 10/11 to win on Betfair. I don't think I can turn that down. At the same time it'd be impossible for me to cheer on the opposition. I think I'll back Ecuador, record the game, check the score on Thursday morning and that's where my betting interest ends so I can watch the match. :)
Yes, O’Shea is injured, presumably has to have some splinters removed from his arse. United physio told him he needs to rest niggling injuries, why didn't he have the decency to drop out when the squad was announced, at least he would have given Stan time to get someone useful in.
No mention of any of the other US-based players? Byrne was supposed to be called in to train with the squad as wellQuote:

Its can be hard sometimes to find new ways to criticise Staunton but he certainly tries his best.
Any chance O'Shea could have told Staunton he was carrying an "injury" given he was named as squad captain?
I know Staunton more or less created this situation himself but anyone else think the senior players don't care about playing for their country anymore? There are plenty of players who have pulled out who have not played that many games this season...
:rolleyes:
