And your Croatia point/comparison ... what is it exactly? As I mentioned, soccer is about as big a sport in Ireland as it is in Canada. By your logic Canada should be world beaters too? Because ...... they've got more people than Croatia?
And re. how can they be this much worse than Spain in 10 years? It wouldn't just happen to be a case of Spain getting very good. Like a WC and EC good. |
Hey they qualified for a 8-team, Euro 88 tournament! I just think they should have built on that. I know Spain got good but Ireland should have gotten good too.
Go back and watch that Ireland-Spain match in Suwon. Ireland went toe to toe, not like the beating they got last night.
