Lets just qualify first before we start on this one

Just looking ahead and its looking good once the current newcomers settle , we will easily beat the swiss tomorrow night and should not be happy with a draw to the team that were easily beaten by one of the worst England sides of all time at Euro2004 and who drew with the nordies . With the swiss out of the way we have got France who are rebuilding and also there for the taking , we should be looking to win the group and looking forward to Germany. Qualification should be a formality and the minimum requirement with possibly the most talented Ireland squad of all time.
