      Finland have Hradecky in goal, who’s number one for the most inform team in the world. Their defence is shocking tbf, but they have a Midfield consisting of Jensen, Kamara and Kairinen and an attack consisting of the best strikers in the MLS and Serie B.
      Greece have a man who was Benfica Number one for 5 years in net, a defence consisting of Prem players like Baldock, Tsimikas and Mavropanos as well as some decent back up players from Serie A and the Greek league. Their midfield is quite weak in fairness but in attack they have the MLS player of the year and the one of the best strikers in the Eredivise.
      Ireland have one of the worst keepers to grace the prem in net (tbf wasn’t really his fault, Southampton were horrendous), someone who’s only played 50 professional games by the age of 25 in goal, and someone who conceded 9 goals in one match and has been banished to Bournemouths U21s. In defence they have a Finished Doherty, a Finished Shane Duffy, a Finished Enda Stevens and a Finished John Egan, with Ryan manning who cannot defend to save his life and inexperienced youngsters as back up. Their midfield consists of lower championship and Scottish Prem level players. And their attack relies on an 18 year old boy who’s gone 12 games without a goal, and spurs, Brighton and Norwich rejects.

      ​@@Unclekase Let's be honest Otto Rehhagel was a genius, a miracle worker we might never see again. Your players back then were good, but they needed someone like him to turn them into the best team in Europe. And look at the bright side, at least you're no longer losing against the Faroe Islands
      Here in Poland we're still living the dream of the 1970s and the 1980s. In 1974 we finished third (and had a great shot at winning the whole thing), with Lato winning the Golden Boot, and Żmuda winning the Young Player of the Tournament. That Polish team had some of the best players in the world and they were only denied transfers to the biggest clubs because of politics. Lubański (who got tragically injured right before the tournament in West Germany) was a top target for Real Madrid, the most talented player Poland has ever produced. Real were also willing to pay twice the amount Barcelona splashed on Cruyff on Kazimierz Deyna, our midfield maestro. Lato outscored Gerd Müller, no comments needed. But even taking all of that into account, we have to remember about Kazimierz Górski, our coach, a genius who made all of this work
      Fast forward to the present day... I mean, I don't have to say anything, just look at our Euro qualification group. Three wins in this group, two of them against the Faroe Islands. And we still have a chance to qualify via the playoffs. Thanks UEFA for destroying every last bit of prestige of the European Championship

      As for Poland, yeah, just like so many of the Eastern block nations that were so great in the 70s-90s, mostly political shit helped to destroy these teams. One of the same with Hungary, where my wife is from, and for years the team was a bunch of shit. This has changed by now, Hungary really is a joy to watch lately, although still, the politics of what's behind that is a whole different conversation.
      As for UEFA, on that part I'm really scared for the future really. FIFA and UEFA are really trying to destroy football honestly, and much as I love it, I don't wish for any player to play 80 games a year. Shame indeed.

But then again, Rossi has been working with the Hungarian national team for years. For contrast, our current manager Michał Probierz is the FIFTH appointment since Adam Nawałka resigned after World Cup 2018. No wonder we're a mess. But here's the thing. In the nineties things were bad, really bad. So much corruption in the league and on the international stage it was dreadful. But here's the thing, those players from the past, mostly cucumbers from the Polish Ekstraklasa and benchwarmers from mediocre leagues abroad, had never dropped points twice during one qualifying campaign against an opponent as weak as Moldova.

    Caomihin kelleher is older than bazunu and never was a number 1 goalkeeper for a club team and as a result should not be starting keeper for ireland. Wait until Alison comes back from injury and he'll be warming the bench again and continue for the foreseeable future unless he leaves Liverpool which he should've done years ago. Before anyone comes at me i would like to say I want kelleher to succeed but he doesn't stand a chance no matter how many league cup finals he wins unless he leaves Liverpool. Shay given said it before he's not young anymore (hes 26 this year), he needs to be a 1st choice keeper if he should be seriously considered as a 1st choice for ireland

    As a Rovers fan, Moran definitely has the quality but can get lost in games very easily. Definitely not ready for even the Premier League by a long shot. Szmodics is quality though, will score goals no matter what

    This is how every American soccer fab feels. Our national team has the talent to actually comlete with the world's best, and yet our Federation is content to simply double down on the same stale, corrupt system that has led us to failure after failure.
    I mean we're literally cheering to LOSE in copa america this summer so the manager might get fired before the world cup in 2 years

    Every lad that’s even slightly athletic plays either rugby or Gaelic football in Ireland. That’s what most Irish people prefer and prioritise and that’s what they’re good at.

      Any gaa player who could make it in the premier league would do it, issue is very few are good enough.
      A lot of them aren’t good enough to play in the prem but still could play league of Ireland or in the lower league in England.
      So the option js
      Play pro football for an average wage
      Or play GAA whilst working a full time job, you might even get your uni degree paid off for it.
      If you get cut from your pro team and you can’t get another contract you are unemployed.
      If you don’t make the GAA side one year you’ve still got a job at least.
      GAA is a much safer option which is why they take it over football.

    In the premier league, I do believe this team would survive, but there would be some absolutely devestating losses against Arsenal and Man City, if they actually stay with 3-4-2-1. I reckon place 14-16.
    That said; club football have better possibilities at shaping a team, so it's a hard thing to guess at.
    As for the future in Nations League, I do reckon this Ireland team WILL get a second place, and I wouldn't even be surprised if they draw or win against England at home.
    I do get the comments that claim Irish guy is delusional, but this time i think there is real reason to be optimistic.
    That said; replace szmodics with Franco Umeh before he chooses Nigeria. Absolute class and a name for the future that I believe would be amazing for this Ireland team

    So from my point of view every nation, including Ireland is way better of than us.
