Will Ireland qualify for South Africa 2010?

Ok with three games to go our fate is in our hands with regard to qualifying for the playoffs. We also have an outside shot of topping the group should we get a win at home to the Italians. However, we still have some tricky ties left. Eamo seems confident of three points away to Cyprus but I'm finding it very difficult to…

We might as well ban constant discussion of whether our midfield is too sh1t or not.

Or whether Cyprus can take us.

Or pretty much anything. I fronted an opinion (namely that our only big worry is an injection of talented youth into the sluggish Italians fronted by overated types from middling leagues like Luca Toni), people disagreed, I argued my point rather successfully , then its the end of it (a point, I may add, that out in the real world everyone Ive mentioned it to has agreed with). The thread title was whether we think we can make it to SA. My response was if he comes to Dublin and is faced with the might of McShane and S Kelly, or even Dunne and Finnan, we may drop points. It is not remotely off topic- all discussion (mine at least) related to him recreating his recent form against the Irish squad. As said, I doubt Lippi will pick him, but he should certainly have him in the squad.

I need a wash after that one.

There is no emoticon to express how much I despise Man Utd, doesnt mean I cant rate a player ffs.

I have no idea why you picked out a player who played a handful of games for UTD this season and has never, to my knowledge, been in an Italy squad as a major threat.

Honestly, I think the Italians are more likely to be fearful of score-the-odd-goal Shane Long than us of one of UTD's reserves.
