Hey Liverpool fans. This is my first time to create a thread on this forum go easy on me, There are thousands of Liverpool fans in Ireland and even more people from Liverpool with strong Irish family connections. I am from Dublin myself and we are very excited over here about Euro 2012 as it is our 1st time to qualify for a major tournament in 10 years. This comes at a great time for Ireland as we have never had so many quality players to choose from, We have real dept in the squad now. Some top young players and new names emerging all the time. Selecting our squad for the tournament will be a tough task for our management team of Trapattoni and Tardelli,
Right now our starting line up is
Given
Kelly Dunne St Ledger Ward
Andrews Whelan
Duff McGeady
Doyle Keane
But we have so many options now that we didn't have a few years ago. Players like James McCarthy (Wigan). Seamus Coleman ( Everton). Ciaran Clark (Aston Villa). Shane Long (WBA). Anthony Stokes (Celtic). Leon Best (Newcastle). John Walters (Stoke) We have player who have emerged in the last few mounts that have to be considered. Like James McClean (Sunderland). Anthony Pilkington. (Norwich) and Wes Hoolahan ( Norwich) and Robbie Brady( Hull City). Other players like Shea Given, John O'Shea and Darron Gibson have made good move for their Ireland careers. Moving away from Manchester to Aston Vila, Sunderland and Everton where they will get the games they need to be sharp for Ireland.
Everything really seem to be coming together at the right time for us, We have been drawn into the Group of Death at the Euros with Spain. Italy and Croatia. But the team will give it their all. Not a single critic will give us a chance. But that's when Ireland are at their best. We love being the underdog, We may not have the individual quality of Spain. But they better be ready for a battle. Because Ireland is the most vicious underdog in world football, If any team comes up against us thinking they will just walk away with a win. They have another thing coming.
