    you usually play a team that is similar to the team you face in the qualifiers. Were playing italy because of the similar style to France. Italy must be playing us because they reckon were on the same lines as Scotland

    THe italian coach is a bit of a tatical head like Sachi before him. So I imagine he is going to try lots of formations out if at all possible.

    Their attack far outweighs their defence. Very strange for an Italian side, but it will be a good test for our back four. We should score 1 or 2 though, the defence is a bit of a mess for them.

    lol, Don't be silly. It'd be impossible to put friendlies together if teams wanted to play one's similar to their next competitive opposition.

    the defence is a bit of a mess for them.
    Nesta, Cannavaro and Zambrotta would all be in with a chance of making a World XI.

    I'll go for a draw or a win for us. I mean if we can keep Brazil out....

    Cowboy, you are obsessed with giving out to people who doubt Ireland's chances, not everybody can be optimistic the whole time. I think bray was only messing too

    I'm going for a very close game. 1-0 or 2-1 to us. If Italy score it will be a late goal in my opinion

    No I'm not, cos after now I wont be able to see any of your posts. I've added you to my ignore list cos your posts are just crap imo. Maybe the feeling is mutual, I dont know
