Well, as I said, there ARE only 2 Keanos... Cameroon were a better side than this German side - media was getting carried away with that Saudi result (although it'll probably get them through in 1st place, sadly). A country that aspires to the semis/final shouldn't be conceding the ball for large parts of the game to little Ireland - Argentina and Italy, to start with, will rip them to pieces. Cameroon might even manage it.

Keane is definitely onto a loser if he's going down that road - Irish football has been all the richer for all the Plastic Paddies down the years - Mancini, Heighway, Lawro, Sheedy, Houghton, Hughton, Aldo, Cas.... one of the precious few rewards for all those waves of emigration. Plus, we are an ENGLISH team, after all - English style of play - has been another of our strengths - even if it's not pretty to watch. The actual English team should try it too, mebbe :->

Great result for the Yanks too - goals scored by 2 fellas that Ireland didn't need the services of too (O'Brien, MacBride). Now, how will Uruguay's O'Neill do tomorrow against the cocks of the walk ???
