    Central defence for Norway match

    Looks like Cunningham is out injured. Apparently O'Brien's out too (can only imagine what his nose will look like) and I can't see O'Shea being played in the centre (if atall - given ManU's league position).
    That leaves Dunne and Breen!!
    Should be interesting (to say the least) against Carew and Solskjaer

    They did pretty well against Hasselbaink, Van Nistelrooy and Kluivert who are a class above Carew and Solskaer.
    Anyway Solskaer is out for this game.

    Yep, Solskjaer is out. Carew is a big bean-pole, so surely Breen can handle him, while Iverson and Flo are not really much of a threat, comparitively speaking, especially if they're played on the wings, as the Norwegians tended to do last time I saw them play.

    They played a 3-man attack in a daring 7-0-3 formation.

    ------------Flo-----------
    Solskjaer-----------Carew

    And, as colster said (I'm beginning to quote this guy too often - who is he, and why the hell does he think like me?) if Breen and Dunne can handle Kluivert and co., they'll manage Tore Andre Flo.
    You can't spell failure without FAI

    Yeah, but against Holland we had Stan to guide the defence and distract Van Nistelrooy by attempting to score own goals.

    Dunne and Dumber.

    But they did o.k.
    Was O'Brien injured?

    Post Flo

    Flo got a warm reception aswell .... and not from the players
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
