    Finally now that those jokers "Northern Ireland" have no chance to get through to the World Cup, the country can concentrate on the proper Ireland getting there! :icon_mrgreen:

    Ireland win this and we will have least got the play offs wrapped up, but more importantly we have a chance to win the group. Im going for 1-0 Ireland. Going to be a huge game, bring on Saturday!

    Hope we can beat them but would settle for a draw and a guaranteed playoff.

    hmmm a tricky one for me; i like Ireland obviously because Aiden plays for them to spite our countrys wonderful SFA and i generally like to see them do well even though i dont actively support them

    on the other hand i am half italian and love to see the nation of my forefathers do well! ideal scanerio for me would be that they both get to the finals and can then stick some money on both of them to win it; though i have been giving england serious consideration!!! :52:

    italy do have a habit of winning the important games even when not playing well; v scotland couple years ago for example but they are not the force they were and the worrying thing for Lippi is that there doesnt seem to be a lot of great young italian players coming through the ranks, i mean del perio (great player that he is) is still in the team!

    wonder how trappatoni would be viewed in italy if he screwed up their qualification lol!

    Should be a fantatsic atmosphere at Croke Park for this one. The Italians though are past masters if not the ultimate masters at getting the results they need on stages such as this. I am going for a 1-1 draw. Although I hope I am way off and Ireland can record a historic win over the World Champions.

    Having said all that Italy plays Cyprus at home next Wednesday only needing a point to win the group even if we beat them on Saturday. So unless something outlandish happens over the next 7 days Italy will win the group and Ireland will take second and the playoff spot.

    I hate the FAI they are shower of thieving *, they are everything that is wrong with football, they dont give a * about the normal fan anymore so I usually don't give a * about Ireland unless we are playing Norn Iron or Engerland. But now that other shower of * UEFA have seeded the draw for the qualifers because some of the bigger countrys might not make it, which is an absolute disgrace, I will now cheer for Ireland and hope they knock one off the cheating * "big nations" out!!! but I still dont think Ireland wll make it, we are just not good enough, Our midield is *!!

    Rant over:icon_mrgreen:

    Would settle for a draw but really hope we can pull this one off. Topping the group would be excellent and our only real chance of going through because of the seeds in the play-off:31:
