10th November, the second on 15th. The way the Irish have played all through the group stages they should have won automatic qualification. England are in the World Cup finals and Ireland were a far superior team. Lucky England could only draw with Greece. When Ireland do qualify, they will do a hell of a lot better next year and will be a worry to any team.
Irish soccer is on the march.
This weekend Premiership action resumes, with the clash of Liverpool and Leeds on Saturday, the match of the day from Anfield. Motherwell 5.30 pm start. The most surprising play in the early part of the soccer season is the very poor displays by the goalkeepers. We saw two well outside free kicks last Saturday, only being admired going into the net. The keepers don't move.
