Only eight days to this... does anyone here give us a remote chance? Are we likely to see any moments like Houghton in 88? I'd absolutely love to see us get something, I hate to see shitheads like Dunphy already baying for Stan to go. On the plus side, Keane and Duff seem to be in good form, we may just have our best 6-7 players on the pitch at once, the Germans seem to be having some trouble with injured defenders, and we always seem to give our best displays when we're clear underdogs. That said, you can count the number of great Irish performances since Korea & Japan on one hand (or a couple of fingers, if you discount friendlies) and Stan hasn't shown a whole lot to suggest he really knows what he's doing yet. Are we going to get hammered again, or could some kind of battling draw \ flukey victory be possible?
