I agree with your asessment about friendlies, however there was an enthusiasm about Ireland tonight that I have not seen for awhile. The fooball played by us was not particularly eye catching, but, neither was Swedens performance. Now that might be down to the state of the pitch,but I thought we adapted better and proved that this squad of players should be in Germany this summer. I was very skeptical about Staunton getting the job,but he has shown on tonights performance by Ireland that Kerr was the wrong man in charge for our world cup campaign. Hopefully Stan can continue the impetus and confidence gained from tonight to qualify for Euro 2008.
