think this game could go either way , tough place to play for any team with atmosphere and conditions i think itll be a 0-0 draw

Unfortunately the streams don't always work in other countries. I've been caught on this in the US a few times when bet365 only seem to have Mexican league streams available when there are other games available in the UK or Ireland.Quote:

For those of us in the US, the game is on GolTV
Good God I fear what Germany would do to us with a line up like that.Quote:

My prediction: 3-0 Ireland, Robbie Keane scores a hat-trick and half the nation calls for him to be dropped for Shane Long.
Is it? I don't think Gibson would have started today regardless - McCarthy has leapfrogged him - Cox is not playing on the left or McGeady on the right, and McGeady stopped flattering to deceive two years ago. It seems to be just a jumble of vaguely accurate and inaccurate opinions with little evidence to back them up.Quote:

Cox to do far better than anticipated with McCarthy running midfield.
*braces self for being proven horrifically wrong*
Yeah, that would be my only gripe with that article too.Quote:

The bloodbath of Euro 2012 gave devastating confirmation that this side's negativity is useless if the opposition happen to be good – Spain, Croatia, Italy and Russia have all pulled them apart in the past year [...] [Robbie Keane's] days of posing a goal threat to strong teams are long gone
He doesn't have any goals in 2012 admittedly, but virtually no-one does for Ireland at the minute (St. Ledger, Long and Cox have 1 each in 2012). His form for Ireland has been excellent up until 2012 (8 in 10 games in 2011, 4 in 8 in 2010) and he's scoring goals in the MLS at the moment, whatever that means. I'd still rather have him in the team than Long for the minute.
I was just going to post that it is very similar to a lot of the posts on here but you got there ahead of me!Quote:

Good effort McCarthy

Dam I paid for a stream and now I find there are a few free ones, it's really top quality though
pretty much as good as broadcast TV so I can't grumble. Not sure if the aspect ratio is correct though
players looking a little squat. (edit think I have sorted it out but I think maybe the TV in Kazakhstan maybe 4:3)
Half the fans that went to Poland aren't even watching this. FACT.
