Lads I'm having a mare
I'm stuck in a small German town with no Irish bar
Does anyone know what vpn I download for rte player will work on my Android phone?
Was in Germany for a game last year and was able to watch via Dazn (you might get a 30 day trial) or find someone with an account.
They certainly had all the internationals then
I can really recommend TV Mucho - tvmucho.com
No VPN needed, they capture the RTE stream from the satellite. Stream quality is always great. Worth the occasional month subscription for me anyway.
Think we'll see this starting XI going by comments this morning:
........................Bazunu
............Collins - Egan - O'Shea
Coleman - Knight - Cullen - Molumby - Doherty
................Ogbene - Ferguson
Old crotchety supporter as I am, it irked me to hear the Today FM sports reporter saying that his nephew is going to the game to see Mbappe. I can honestly say that in the decades of following Ireland I have never gone to a game hoping to see an opposition player. If he's good, I usually hope he's picked up an injury in training. But I suppose that's the way of the world.
I don't think we're without hope so long as we don't respect them too much. We beat the Germans after all. Don't overcommit and get caught on the break which is their speciality. Fingers crossed but it's probably the least optimistic I've ever been going in to a home game but we're not without hope. Lots of luck and a sterling defence and who knows.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
It's the era we're in. Having the FIFA cover star appear in your ground will sell tickets: I'm sure plenty who went to the Portugal game at home were motivated in part by the chance to see Ronaldo.
I'm not expecting a pasting tonight because I think Kenny's squad have demonstrated a ability to raise their game against higher seeds, and a draw is absolutely not out of the question. But I just don't think we're even at that level right now, and if we were hoping France might have a post-WC headache that got blown up with their destruction of the Dutch. France will score, they're too good not to, and I don't think we're good enough to score against them.
If we are pasted, like that 6-1 that spelled the end for you know who, it's another nail in the coffin for the current management, but it won't spell the final end.

Ditto Haaland for Norway (whose withdrawal was announced after lots of tickets had been sold). I'm looking forward to seeing Mbappé too in fairness, though I'm not going to the game in order to see him.
I've a feeling tonight will be like the England game in Wembley, the only side comparable to France we've played under Kenny. Or indeed the last time we played France, for that friendly before the 2018 World Cup. I'll hope for a huge performance but yeah, logic tells you France are going to score and we're going to struggle to create.
Another first minute penalty would be great of course!
Speaking of an early penalty or just in general, but who'll actually take any penalties we might get tonight.
Callum Robinson and Robbie Brady have taken the only two we've gotten under Kenny, and in the shoot out against Slovakia again Brady and Hourihane scored theirs while Doherty and Browne missed.
Browne if he comes on yeah because I think he takes them for Preston or has taken them for Preston. But there's no else that stands out unless he's gonna trust Ferguson taking them.
I would trust Ferguson as his confidence is sky high
Didnt hear the comments this morning but this was more or less the team i would have picked too based on the injury to O'Dowda. Doherty and Coleman did very well away to Portugal off those flanks. The only worry is the pace that France have out wide and whether we can deal with that. Will obviously need to keep it super tight and cut out the errors in possession. Despite his comments, I think we will see more pragmatism from Kenny tonight and will see more direct balls into the channels where we can to exploit Ogbene's pace and keep France a bit more honest. I do still worry a bit that he plans to play Idah. He talked him up last week and again yesterday.
To be honest, am absolutely bricking it. Heart says 1-1, head says 0-4.

Though my tickets had fallen through earlier and was a bit deflated but they've come good now. Can't wait to see Mbappe .
I presume Idah is at least going to play a part, given he's been named in the match day squad and that he performed so well in a similar sort of game against Portugal. Would be very surprised if he starts though. I'd say Ogbene and Feguson get an hour to run themselves into the ground and then, depending on the score to a degree, we'll probably see Idah and Obafemi (or a another midfielder if we're holding onto something).
