    The same team that played against Croatia.

    Duff captains the side on the occasion of his 100th cap.

    Given
    O'Shea
    Dunne
    St Ledger
    Ward
    Duff(C)
    Andrews
    Whelan
    McGeady
    Keane
    Doyle


    I am hoping we will put in a bit of a showing.


    Ireland 5-4 winners<ok>

    Di Natale getting no service at all. Thankfully. He has incredible movement.

    Ireland much the better team so far.

    Italy score from a corner after Given makes a **** of a save.

    As soon as I wrote about di natale he started coming into it.

    At least they're giving a better account of themselves, but Shay has had a serious loss of confidence as well as form - heart goes out to the guy.

    True that but come on, the Irish have won only in their fantastic support, the team has about the same quality as a Conference side.

    i dont agree. We have quality players and some poor ones too. The style, formation and personnel that Trappatoni goes for can get results to qualify but to do no more than that. And that still is an achievment.

    McGeady off for Long.

    Strange one. McGeady has been our best player but Long brings a real physicality

    Andrews sent off. Ref gave italy everything then ballotelli scored a rocket. Again from a corner.

    Trap took McGeady off and immediately allowed Ward to play further up the pitch.

    In that situation then Hunt or McClean had to come on.

    Is that why most of our players play in the premiership?
