QuoteGiven would **** on the German team.
Finnan as a Liverpool player would make it.
Thats it.
Given is better than any keeper they have . Ignoring current international form for Ireland Keane, Finnan, Duff and Dunne would walk ito the German squad.

I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
You'd have to ignore current domestic form too for Duff, Dunne and possibly even Keane to walk anywhere.Originally Posted by Qwerty

Don't agree about Dunne, City's problem is their attack, not their defence
Dunne? I don't watch a lot of Man City but he got official premierleague motm against Arsenal (h), Reading (a), Boro (h), Newcastle (h), Sheffield United (a) and Bolton (a). He was 2nd for motm away to Liverpool and 3rd against West Ham, Everton and Portsmouth. Out of 22 players that's a lot of times he has been one of the best 3 players on the pitch. What makes you think he was off form? He's a lot better than any of the centre halfs that have played for Germany in this campaign.
With a 100% fully fit squad i could only see Given Finnan and Stephen Reid get close to their squad. Possibly Richard Dunne too, remember Robert Huth has a number of caps and he is far from great
Not only would they select David Connolly - but they would continue to select him intermittently over the next 10 years!!
Need to get a result against them???
At the moment im more worried about getting a result against wales and slovakia and that is by no means certain - never mind beating Germany!!
Fair point about Dunne, I don't watch much Man City either and was going more on the team's position rather than his performances. I do still feel that he has been inconsistent for Ireland though and wouldn't be considered an improvement on the current crop of German centre-halves

I agree. He's a bit of a donkey. Funny thing is I reckon O'Shea would get into the German squad but obviously not due to his quality as a footballer.
best irish player ever was a lad from waterford called mark sheehan - scored every friday / saturday night without fail no problem pulling em in
I have a head only Snow White would love
It's strange how the attitude has changed since we played Germany, back then a lot of people saw Germany as a team we could get a result against, the Germans are nowhere near as good as they used be and they have been inconsistent in recent qualification campaigns.
If you had posted this question prior to the Germany game you would have got a very different response.
Here is another way of looking at it, how many members of the German squad would play in the top 10 teams Premiership? These German players are attracting no interest from England, Spain or Italy which says a lot.
As individuals they are not impressive really, they have some good midfielders and Klose and Podolski ( most over rated player at World Cup ) are decent. Their defenders are not really very good, big yes.
O'Gara
O'Driscoll
D'Arcy
Horgan
Stringer
O'Connell
Hayes
and maybe one or two others.
This thread should be about how many of our players would get in the San Marino team. Answer - none.
