we've never played any of the three in competitive action before
That's a lovely group. I can see us topping it. England's is nasty though
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Yeah, not a bad group at all. Be happy just to come out of it: sometimes coming 2nd pays off better than winning the group.Originally posted by Schumi

But we can make our mark, that's for sure!

Reasons for confidence.
Germany not the power they were although should be a bit stronger with injured players back. On the otherhand i think the german invincibility confidence has been eroded in last 4 years.
If we can beat Iran theres no reason can't beat the Saudis.
Cameroon may not be as good as they have been in the past but are consistent qualifiers from Africa which probably only Nigeria could say too.
Could they have dragged that draw out any longer????
A month of football is almost good enough reason to stay with current job & flexitime
The Cameroonian manager is a German by the name of Schneider (or something!). That could be good for us?
Good draw i reckon, Germany are past their prime ages ago, Cameroon cant claim to know much about them, they could be the dark horses, and as for Saudi Arabia, tricky but we got past Iran, and i think we can get out of this group! Would have preffered South Korea as first seeds though!
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
the only problem is should we come second the likly oponents are Spain maybe we should expect and try and beat the Germans! could be a quarter final in it for us!
I don't see why we couldn't beat Germany or Spain considering the performances put in against the Dutch and Ports in qualifying. It could be one hell of a s
we should easily win that group- germany are average at best, cameroon aren't to be underestimated but are beatable and saudi should be beaten.
bye bye england
ireland no hassle getting out
j'accuse!
I hope you will win the World Cup but I think the change this will happen is not that big.
My favourites at the World Cup are: Belgium and Ireland.
Greetings and good luck,

p.s. I hope you will kick out Germany from the World Cup. This should be great and everybody in the Netherlands would support Ireland if you will meet Germany.
I reckon a quarter final spot is within our reach
Cobh Ramblers have mastered the art of consistency.That is the art of being constantly rubbish
without a shadow of a doubt and i reckon we can beat portugal,france and england if we were to draw them....LOOK out for paraguay theyre my outside bet
j'accuse!
Not so optomistic about facing Cameroon as i was after the draw was made. The thought of some of their forwards running at Staunton and Breen dosen't fill me with confidence.
Nice shirts though
People are under the idea we will get hasseled by Cameroon,after watching the african nations cup final its pretty clear Roy Keane will orchestrate midfieldduff and robbie up front are unstopable if cunningham stays fit we will have a strong back line
j'accuse!
robbie keane unstoppable?!!! what planet are u on? overweight and overrated!Originally posted by ccfcman

The shocking thing about Irelands WC chances (i.e. even getting out of the group) is we are completely dependent on Roy Keane. If Roy is injured we might as well forget about it.
Our attack is sadly dependent on the other Keane. Robbie I agree is overweight & therefore doesn't have the pace he used to burn off defenders with. I never thought the Leeds move was agood one (but could understand why he moved) & unfortunately been proven correct now. When all forwards at the club re fit is he even 3rd choice?
