Just saw this stat today

**NeilMcD** · 05/07/2004, 2:07 PM

Ireland had the fewest amount of tackles of any team during the group stages of the 2002 World Cup.

that is quite a contrast to the stat during the 1990 World Cup that we had the highest amount of fowls and Mick Mc Carthy commited more fowls than any other player.

Just a joke about the fowls, I knew some sad person would have to bring Keane into it, one track mind is all i will say on that matter

I am surprised no one has mentioned the fact that we were
running around like headless chickens in the qualifiers

I thought in the Swiss game, with the defence standing in a line with their head's facing down as their scored that 2nd goal, they looked more like battery hen's.
