    What is the best possible Irish team to field? My guess would be (usign a basic 4-4-2 formation)

    GK: Given

    LB: Harte (ugh... just for the free kicks)
    CB: Cunningham
    CB: Carr
    RB: Finnan (maybe Gary Kelly)

    LM: DUFF (not Kilbane, or Reed, or anybody DUFF ON THE WING)
    CM: Kinsella
    CM: Holland
    RM: Carsley

    CF: Robbie Keane
    CF: Morrison

    Subs: Kilbane, Gary Kelly, Steven Reed, somebody, sub-goalie (I cant think of his name since he's very new... Kiely wasa great backup, shame)

    Carr at centre half!? What!?

    I'd go for this, by the way...

    Gk - Given

    Dl - Finnan
    Dr - Carr
    Dc - Cunningham
    Dc - O'Shea

    Ml - Duff
    Mr - Reid
    Mc - Carsley
    Mc - Delap

    Fc - Keane
    Sc - Morrison

    I say Fc for Keane as he should drop deep as often as possible, he's at his most dangerous doing that, whereas Morrison should hang around the box, be a presence and score the goals.

    I agree, the real R. Keane plays best at cf.

    I agree, the real R. Keane plays best at cf. That said, it would be nice for Roy to kiss and make up. Great lineup.
