Roll up, roll up. It's Everton v Everton, it's Guinness v mmm not really sure, it's U2 v..... well I don't know, but it's Ireland v Croatia and we've got 2 players hopefully getting a game in the Euro Soccer Tournament of the Summer

Gibson and Jelavic were possibly 2 of the best signings of the January transfer window and thankfully we bagged both. Whether Jelavic will get a game is still in question, but with recent injury to Olic, it's looking more likely that he'll at least get a game, whether we like that or not, it's always nice to see an Everton player getting a game for his country. With Modric, Rakitic, Srna, Eduardo etc, Croatia certainly boast some names and are of course coached by ex Evertonian Slaven Bilic

Gibson should be a starter, it will be interesting to see how his bold spot's got on since the end of the season. Not really seen Ireland play that much so I won't be guessing their first XI, but I do like the look of McClean who you'd think would certainly be getting a few minutes at some stage

Stat of the game, Ireland have 11 players based in the Midlands. Gripping stuff there.

Alright, alright!

A proper preview! Excellent work, young man.

It's hard to choose which Everton to support, but I have to go with Jelavic because he is so boss.

Gibson is boss too.... So it's all good.

Ha, cheers man

Very true though, it's win/win here for the Everton neutrals here I guess. Having Croatia in the sweepstake has made me support them all of a sudden, along with the fact they have Jelavic, but I've always got a soft spot for the Republic of Ireland and our man Gibson, so I'm really looking forward to this one
