Di Maria will be worth every penny after he cleaned house against the Germans last night!
On a more important note Ireland had a b-team out against Oman last night which was a mistake with Sunday's qualifier against Georgia coming up on Sunday. They may be minnows but they will be organized and physically tough, we should have enough to beat them but I'm always wary going into these games as we are no Germany but we have some established players in our ranks and I'm hoping we can nick a play off place come squeaky bum time.
to much talk of 'revenge' from argentina. good result for them and di maria did well, but overall it was a nothing game that shouldnt have even been played. or maybe im just defensive because im german?
Enjoyed the Scotland v Ireland game on Friday night, proper game of football.
Looking forward to the Scotland v England game tonight, should be a cracker. It was close at Wembley last year, poor defending cost Scotland, not sure we've got the best centre defence, that Grant Hanley is shite, Mulgrew would be better in there with Darren Fletcher or James Morrison in the midfield.

So.....England fans were chanting anti Irish-IRA songs at the Italy game. Which was played in Italy.
Some operators!
The match was pretty boring overall, the stadium was also quite empty. Hard to believe there were so many empty seats for an Italy-England game. These friendlies have become pointless. To add to that, Smalling went off injured, like we didn't have enough defensive problems. I just hope it isn't too serious, he's been playing so well recently.

Im sure hes fine, I believe that players HAVE to come off if they have a suspected head injury, so even if it was something minor he still had to go off.

No, the rule is that the ref has to stop the game if there's a suspected head injury, whether they're brought off is dependant on the manager. But just read an article which said there wasn't any head injury but he was actually feeling unwell which is why they pulled him off. So yeah nothing major...phew!
