To all great Irish fans, do not worry lads, you will be there next time. As far as what someone wrote earlier about this group being the toughest, I have to disagree. I think it however proved to be the most surprising group. For the Irish to finish fourth behind Israel, is not something I would have expected a few months ago. How you could not get a result at home against them is a mystery to me, and it was probably an early sign things to come. On that note complements to Israel to finish undefeated in a group that at least on paper included three teams that were better than them. Go Ireland (2010)
