Can Ireland beat France?

[steevie]

France are pretty shit these days so the answer to your question is YES, Ireland can do these.

Still, 6 reasons why Ireland can beat them from this football article on World Cup betting, and these don't even include Domenech using astrology to pick his team! He's managed to upset Thierry Henry now, of all people. Who is apparently the best footballer in the world (cough). Toni and Pique make this list. I just can't believe Hibbert's not on there.

Agree that France is a more appealing team, but I just happen to like the Irish a lot more. Anelka vs Carsley, or Ribery vs Neiler, it's no contest really.

Thanks I guess. Is it really that good? Can't help it, but I'm never fully convinced about that.

It's good mate, you should be proud.

I'm learning a bit of spanish, and am gonna try to push the german on a bit, but could never reach your level of linguistic skills.

Would really love to see us do this, but I have to say if I had the choice I would far sooner see Everton win at least two of the next three games (United, Hull, and them).

No.

France will prevail.

I can't figure out if this is real or not. Neiler, please tell me this is true.

Draw in Croker and a 'brave' defeat in Paris.

Have to agree i see that as the most likly of outcomes but i am going to the game on saturday full of hope.

It's fake, there is no Department of Diplomatic affairs in Ireland... still funny though

I think we can do it over the 2 legs ... Italy couldn't beat us over the 2 legs during the group stage, and they are (arguably) better than France. It's just a pity it's not in Lansdowne Road ... even though the atmosphere will be great in croker tomorrow, I would imagine it would have been a hell of a lot better in lansdowne.

Also, we tend to do well against the better teams in big games like this ...
