???
will the NAZI win?
>>66385377
>no Fuchs
Austrian
>no Shaqiri
Injured/ not being risked due to recently having recovered from injury
>no Arnautovich
Also Austrian.
Benches. No Shaqiri or Lichtsteiner through injury. Elvedi's probably with the U21s.
Hello I am here now.

This windy weather lads.

>>66385983
fuck off, this is a proud irish thread, no brits allowed
McGeady is manure.
Watching the game with my Irish wife, should I punch her?
My grandma just called our coach a "huere lumpe yugo". Much love.
I was having a shite and missed the goal
>>66386031
Rather him than McClean
>>66386038
Clean break?
>>66386033
does your wife look like a HT slag?
>>66386033
Wouldn't she divorce you and take your hoarded treasure stolen from gassed jews?
>>66386049
I dunno, they're both not great going forward. At least McClean will be aggressive and put in some daycent tackles when we're playing PTB hoofball.
>>66386033
>with my Irish wife
Germanic shit stop ruining celtic genes
>>66386052
very messy actually it got tangled up on my arsehairs, like trying to clean chocolate pudding off a brush
>>66386073
She's not a slag, pure Catholic qt senpai
>>66386087
Everyone does that without the risk of getting sent off. I trust McGeady to pull something out of his arse like Georgia.
Why is so much of the Swiss natl team Albanian? It would make sense if Albanians were super into football, but I don't get that vibe. Why not more ethnic Swiss? I thought the Albanian immigrant population wasn't a large minority
>>66386110
Haha filthy.
>>66386033
based grandma
>>66386090
The Swiss, much like us Southern Germans, have much Italo-Celtic DNA in them themselves actually
>>66386118
25% of Switzerland aren't even Swiss.
And that's actual immigrants.
Swiss people with foreign parents is an even bigger %.
They're the Singapore of Europe.

D-do Ireland even have a chance of finishing as a best 3rd placed team in the group lads?
I personally think Belgium are the most overrated bastards of all time and Sweden is fuck all without Ibra.
Italy is undoubtebly better than us but they're an inconsistent team - we beat them 2-0 ago a few years back.
Then again maybe that's be being hopeful and delusional.
>>66386188
Based Gandolph.
>>66386238
cohesion will carry the day
>>66386238
I think we have an off chance. I can see us beating Belgium
>>66386238
Might beat Sweden and Belgium might shit the bed. Italy might take it easy against a weak team like Ireland in the group stage and then slip up, but probably not.
>>66386033
>even the fucking coach is a yugoslav
based switzerland aka yugoslavia B aka if only we knew kosovo was gonna become a country
>>66386118
most of them are kosovars, at the time when they had to decide what country to play for, the options were either serbia or switzerland
also I'm pretty sure albanian is a official language in some parts of switzerland
are we beating those neutral swiss bastards lads?
>>66386238
people have been calling it the group of death but I was quite happy with it. There's no clearly outstanding team there.
Belgium are perennial darkhorses who do fuck all and have a shit manager.
Italy are a nation in decline.
Sweden are Ireland tier.
We'll be underdogs heading into all of em but I could equally see us nicking something in every match.
>>66386246
Hmmm
>>66386298
1-0 up scan
>>66386298
Your neutral scum as well desu lad
>Kevin Doyle out
no great shame he's shit
poor Kevin, he's a very nice man
KEVIN NO ;_;

Doyle is goosed.
>>66386348
>Ireland will never team up with Hitler to slaughter the Brits
>>66386279
To be fair Petkovic's Italian is top tier.
ded
>>66386355
He looked like he was quick enough and works hard plus he's good at winning he ball from goalkicks. Which is essentially what Murphy is in the squad to do.
Patrick Bamford dodgy passport when lads?
Murphy is a big guy

Can't see him hanging up his boots before 40. He'll keep playing for LA Galaxy 'till he's that age and if he's still active O'Neill will keep selecting him in the squad.

>>66386638
Robbie Brady what was that clearance ffs.
FFS lads our defense is so shit, how raped are we for the euro?
>>66386567
Is there actually anyone better than him though? Helps having a hard man in the team what with this squad relying on 100% heart anyway
Is our whole strategy based on greasy headers?
>>66386659
it's our year la hopp schwiiz
>>66386659
get Senderos back in there
>>66386659
you need Djourou
>>66386624
He needs to be taken off at halftime for Zuffi.
>>66386659
Need Djourou back as stupid as that sounds.
>>66386661
I want him to start as he doesn't run around like a headless chicken and let teams have as much freedom through the middle as they want. I'll take that in exchange for a few overly-cautious passes.
If people want to complain get onto McCarthy for doing fuck all for most games.
>>66386681
>>66386690
Djourou mind
He has mono though.
>>66386668
>camp outside the edge of the box
>try to play it out

but to be fair we've pioneered hoofball and are quite effective with it
>>66386668
> Doyle AND long
You can bet your mother's sweet fat fanny it will be
Also unrelated but
>61% possession
> only one (1) more shot then Ireland
I knew I made the right call not tuning in to this match
time for half time cups a tae
>>66386708
Isn't Netherlands France on? Anyone not Irish or Swiss should be watching that
>>66386704
>tfw getting flashbacks of how many goals Senderos and Djourou cost Arsenal over the years
Swiss defenders are garbage
>>66386730
Djourou's actually become alright over the years. Senderos is still shit though. I'd unironically rather see Wüthrich or Elvedi playing in his place.
>>66386696
Agreed
James gets lots of hype because he plays le tippy tappy style but all I see from his supposed technique is another generic ball winner, his passing is barely better than whelans when you get down to it
I think Henderson was the guy playing on the left/center of midfield that one game who won a penalty, he's quite good I like his ambition
>>66386723
all these games are shit desu
is club football back next weekend?
>>66386668
Remember the Poland game?
It was one of the most frustrating fecking games I've ever seen.
>2-1 down
>2 people in the other half of the pitch
>I know what to do
>HOOOF
I don't get why people were so anti-Trapattoni.
As if we'd turn into 2008 Spain as soon as he left.
>>66386723
watched it until the 0-2 and the cringey 14th minute tribute to cruyff, this game is better
>>66386723
Apparently Holland are already 2 nil down so no point
> cruyff dies
> Dutch sport dies with him
F to pay respects
>>66386730
Yeah I'm an arse fan, fucking pissed about that because they're both Genevan and I'm from Geneva. Because of those cunts I support the Arse and what has it brought me? Only pain and suffering.
It pains me to say it but they're shit. We need a healthy Lichtsteiner to get this shite in order.
>>66386757
>tfw don't even know half our squad
What's with so many non swiss playing for the NT?
by the way: RETURN US RODRIGUEZ YOU FUCKING RICH BASTARDS
>>66386757
Hendrick? I'm a fan of Hendrick yeah. Don't know how you start Whelan, McCarthy, Hendrick and Hoolahan in the same team without Hoolahan as a winger though. Not sire about 41212
>>66386771
We're a terrible team quality wise, hoofball is our best tactic.
>>66386784
At least Lorenzo Gonzalez is a Servette youth product. He's meant to be promising.
>>66386791
>RETURN US
>born here

Leicester matches back when
>>66386816
blasphemy
>>66386816
DELET THIS
>>66386824
my exact thoughts
mahrez just got an assist btw
>>66386816
But it's good Friday ya daft cunt
>>66386797
4-4-1-1
Hoolahan in the hole with whelan/McCarthy in the centre, Keane is a legend but he's too fucking crocked now, only bring him on if > we need a goal
Either quinn on the left, or hendrick (>>66386789 fuck me I barely know the team as well lmao, they are shite of late tho tbf) if the opposition are actually competent in possession like Germany or something, against the likes of Sweden a natural winger
I've got a bottle of jamesons here, going to have at it
>>66386816
Nothing like cheeky blasphemy on a Friday before seeing relations on the Sunday
>>66386854
Ebin
Hope he stays beyond the year but he probably won't with how big he's gotten in reputation, even Xavi trying to woo him
Also I found out yesterday I have family in Leicester and someone who's teaching at the university, HAHA TIME TO BANDWAGON THANKS A MILLION UNCLE AMBROSE
gonna have a cheeky pancake with a bit of nutella and a cup of tea lads
finish off watching this shit and then time for a decent film, I'm thinking the battle of algiers
/comfy/
is this match worth tuning into or is it predictably uninteresting?
>>66386923
Nah he'll probably stay. He isn't actually good enough for Barca yet. He's not efficient enough with his talent. I know he's great now but he can be even better. Another year with Leicester in the CL would help him become the player he can be.
Windy night in Dublin
>>66386975
yes
>>66386975
it's not so great
>>66386975
It's predictably shit
>>66386975
Do you have to ask
>>66386939
My mum went off to the bakery to get me a bagel, already had me tea though

Question. How good would our national team be if GAA wasn't the most popular sport in the country?
>>66387009
He isn't playing at all at Leicester, normal to keep him out
Had a halftime fap, am I going to hell?
>>66387049
world champions
>>66387049
Slightly better I guess.
>>66387056
yeah but we all are so w/e
>>66387026
probably plebeian on my part not have seen it by now desu
>>66387049
Probably much the same, slightly better players but same shit style
>>66387049
there would just be more deadly shoulders
>>66387019
Homemade by friend of the family m8, it's called a morning glory bagel or something I'm hype
>>66387049
My uncle went to visit the ol' family and took pictures
Of course my young cousin has a GAA shirt on, the future of Irish soccer is not bright lads...
>>66387049
the best player i knew growing up chose gaa and now plays for Dublin. if he chose soccer he might have got somewhere
Switzerland need the return of Johan Vonlanthen to lead the clockwork lads to glory!
remember when Given retired and then came out of retirement and then played one game and then everyone thought he retired but he just became Ireland's fourth choice keeper?
I remember that time.
>>66387073
Might watch master and commander again tonight myself
>>66387110
I think Seamus Coleman was elite in gaa no? Only switched over to soccer at age 16/17 iirc
>>66387108
I dont know we have lots of black people now maybe we can be the new france
>>66387126
TAKE THAT MAN BELOW AND CLAP HIM IN IRONS!
>>66387108
Ireland need to snap out of this GAA(GAY) shit.
Stop being potatoniggers and invest into GRASSROOTS S*CCER YOU PALE BASTARDS.
>>66387156
If it wasn't GAA it'd be rugby tbqh.
>>66387139
quite possibly. Shane Long played hurling at a high level also
>>66387156
Hurling > all other shit sports
>>66387148
> Randolph
> Walters
Meh/10
Although Walters is based I don't think they'd be much of an upgrade
>>66387148
The Africans I know were never particularly great at soccer but they were excellent with athletics. So we have a few gold medals to look forward to,
>>66387181
There's a team of blacks in futsal at college and they're very good. Got that classic strength but also probably the best on the ball in the tournament
>>66387049
Literally going to the Dublin/Donegal game tomorrow. Even a meaningless league game is more entertaining than this soccer shit.
>>66387156
Its Irish culture in a nutshell. Best part is the players dont get paid even though the tv rights have been sold to sky sports and you need to pay 500 euro a year to watch it which goes straight to corrupt selfappointed shitcunts.

I'm pretty sure he's in the third division.
>>66387181
>>66387115
>he bought into the Vonlanthen meme
>>66387198
If Ireland ever win a tournament where most of the players are black it won't count as an Irish win.
Qatar have imported powerniggers and they're suddenly winning every game they play because these players got citizenship.
It wouldn't be an Irish win.
>>66387181
We can play with 6 fast black wingers up front to recieve the hoofballs and 5 GAA bogmen at the back to kick it
>>66387209
>>66387217
The legend will never die. Still the youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros.
is mcgeady's crossing accuracy over/under 5% lads?

>>66387333
Starvation is not a sport
>>66387321
no. if we had a half decent left back he wouldn't be playing there
>>66387333
Africans went centuries without even being able to read and write.
Due to this we have no idea what the fuck they were doing for hundreds of years (unless you count cave paintings).
>>66387275
>O'Kane
literally never heard of hre
>>66387349
Ward is back starting for Burnely. Considering any LB we have is just going to be hoofing it 95% of the time we may as well play our biggest.
This game is bleak.
>>66387275

>>66387364
i'd like brady closer to goal desu so bring back ward imho
he was our best attacking player playing at left back in the last competitive match
>>66387391
what about the niggersniggers
>>66387404
That was my thinking really. Having Brady closer to link up with Hoolahan is probably the closest we'll get to creating chances with passes.
>>66387387
close enough
bournemouth will win the league next year

I'm watching this "spoort"
Now what?
Jesus, Ruefer is a pessimistic cunt.

Why is Hoolahan so good? He's not even English.
>>66387770
He's right sometimes though
You'd think that these players aren't getting paid.
Even 3rd Liga has better passing and forward playing.
>this team is going to France
God help us
>>66387736

>>66387836
Italy are shite against deep defences, and Belgium are massively overrated. I'm scared of Ibra but a cheeky 0-0 isn't out of the question.
>>66387857
He's right sometimes, but he exaggerates far too much. The team is either flawless or complete shit in his eyes.
>>66387859
So does Roger Federer, he's still the GOAT.
>>66387922
