Avoiding Russia was key for Ireland, i reckon they could have a bloody good go at the French - they have improved of late but are no where near the force they were.

Hope they do it as ive got a lot of Irish in my family

haha, i know - im even positive about International sides of which I have no real link !!

To be fair, i usually support the French in tournaments over the English! But as it goes now, il support anyone over England - but thats another story!

You can now play for us!

I actually could as my grandparents are Irish!

All thats stopping me is the excessive alcohol consumption and the distinct lack of football ability!

Apparently Gary Cahill could play for you? Id get him in asap!

I did get a phone call the other week, something about a new stadium to beat those gits from woolwhich, a top four finish and all the abusing of nightblub bouncers I could handle.

Cant remember who it was from, but he sounded twitchy and offered me a few quid

France Right-Back Bacary Sagna Analyses Ireland Squad Ahead Of World Cup Play-Off

The Arsenal full-back has warned his national team-mates that they face a stern challenge if they want to progress to the World Cup finals in South

Although France coach Raymond Domenech dismissed the Republic of Ireland squad as â€œEngland â€˜Bâ€™â€

Domenech comes across as a bit of a fool, I don't think he knows what eh is ding.

I saw in this football blog previeiwng the France v Ireland game that he has has never played the same back four for more than two consecutive games in 16 outings since EURO 2008 and has used seven different centre back pairings - there lies his problem!

As funny as it is I think he will live to regret that 'England' 'B' comment...

it was because of injuries and suspensions.
But the back4 will be Evra - Abidal - Gallas - Sagna
