OH IRELAND (PART MLVII)
On more than one occasion while speaking to the press on Wednesday, John O’Shea stressed the need for “a more Irish performance” when the international side he helps coach take on Portugal in Lisbon on Saturday. Considering the Republic of Ireland have been utterly hopeless in recent failed campaigns to make major tournaments, and currently sit bottom of their Geopolitics World Cup qualifying group, cynics might say that what is actually required against CR7 and chums is a less Irish performance. But if “Sheasy” thinks slathering the troops with Kerrygold, sending them out on to the pitch waving knobbly sticks and ordering them to Riverdance through the national anthem might help keep the score down, then Football Daily is wholeheartedly in favour of the idea.
