2-0 before flying out to USA '94.
Gary Kelly from outside the area, and Big Cas with a header. Incidentally, Germany were defending World Champions at the time.

I will take a 200 hundred bet that it wont be 5-0 on Saturday.

1-1 all full strength team and 4-4-2

we havent that bad a record against them didnt we also draw or beat them in Landsdowne. Dont forget the noise from 15,000 irish fans full of german beer is a bit louder than the suits in Landsdowne.

heart says 1-1 and a session thats beats all those had before

but head says 2-0 germany win and a session to drown the sorrows

**NeilMcD** · 29/08/2006, 2:00 PM

Best post yet, I totally agree with you there.

**eomurray** · 29/08/2006, 3:47 PM

2 -1 Doyle to score the first followed by Keane for the winner! Bring it on

**Closed Account 2** · 29/08/2006, 4:20 PM

I think it will 2-2, we'll go 1-0 up (Duffer) then they go 2-1 up, then Robbie scores a last minute goal like in WC2002

As in straight from the corner just like Stan against the Nordies in Lansdowne yonks ago. Sure what would The Doc be doin takin a corner?

It's very likely that none of us will feel the pain of the beating due to the fact that we'll have a whole days drinking in prior to kick off. Many of us won't even make the stadium. You know who you are......

**nedder** · 29/08/2006, 8:49 PM

1-1 Podolski, Doyle.

**Lionel Ritchie** · 30/08/2006, 3:10 PM

I think we'll be okay.

I'm happier going into this on the back of a hiding than maybe I should be.
I'd just rather we lost every friendly we played and qualified for a few more tournaments than we seem to.

Score draw.

**casso36** · 30/08/2006, 3:12 PM

Germany 1 Ireland 15

Well thats what my dream was last night!!! couldn't believe it woke up sweating!!!!!

No really Germany 1 Ireland 1

**youngirish** · 30/08/2006, 3:17 PM

If you heads really believe Ireland have a good chance of winning stick your hard earned cash on them at Ladbrokes at 6/1. I unfortunately think they're 6/1 for a good reason and won't be parting with my dosh.

**drinkfeckarse** · 30/08/2006, 3:18 PM

I honestly don't know what the score will be. I feel it could go a number of ways depending on a number of things. Stan hasn't exactly had me feeling very confident in him lately but this team of ours has a habit of surprising us when we least expect it and if we have a full team then we have nothing to be scared of at all.

2-0 to Germany or 1-1.

**Stuttgart88** · 30/08/2006, 3:18 PM

In 2 minds. Anyone who knows me here knows I'm an eternal optimist but I have grave doubts about Saturday. Maybe 5 years without a proper win & with only a few creditable performances in competitive games has finally taken its toll on my mindset.

But no, I'll give it one last go: we're a good team against good teams. We have our best players back. Germany's defence is weak. Robbie is better than Podolski. Germany's wave of euphoria is over. We always win in Stuttgart. We're at our best when expectations are low (Amsterdam 2000) and we're due a bit of luck.

0-1. McGeady, the Glaswegian, with a header after 6 minutes, and Given, the Donegal keeper making 7 unbelievable saves. Our fingernails will be bitten to the core but we'll hang on.

Not sure my heart could take 84 mins plus probably 8 or 9 extra.

**eighties mullet** · 31/08/2006, 8:09 AM

2-1 Ireland, why not the germans have a new man in charge and
the crowd got their sh*te defence through the world cup on
pure adrenaline as always happens the hosts, their best defender is lahm a 21 yr old rookie, our best defender probably finnan and he's one the european cup..............
our attacking players are a real threat, the german attack is very one-dimensional will suit the honey monster, and ballacks not fit!
All that added to a world cup hangover, Whats everyone so worried about!
