question:
It is the game which, ultimately, could define the success or otherwise of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane’s expensive Republic of Ireland tenure. Installed amid much fanfare 18 months ago, £1million-per-year O’Neill and his assistant Keane – with a £600,000 salary - were given a remit of qualification for Euro 2016, a task made easier by the expansion to a 24-team format. Defeat against Poland at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, however, would all but render redundant any hope of automatic progression to next summer’s finals in France.

question:
Jose Mourinho was forced to defend new £8millon signing Asmir Begovic as Chelsea suffered a humbling 4-2 defeat to a New York Red Bulls team largely made up of youth team players and reserves on the first fixture of their US tour. Begovic had a nightmare start after coming on for the second-half for Thibaut Courtois, as Chelsea endured a calamitous period in which they conceded four goals including one scored by a 16-year-old high school kid, Tyler Adams, in a performance which Mourinho labelled a ‘disaster.’ The Chelsea manager claimed that the fact they had only trained for six days and that they had been doing double sessions accounted for the shock result, with the Red Bulls fielding a reserve side which plays in the US third division, as their first team had played in a US Open Cup fixture the night before.Chelsea were beaten 4-2 by New York Red Bulls in first America tour gameNew goalkeeper Asmir Begovic made a couple of calamitous errorsBut Jose Mourinho defended his £8m signing, saying he was tiredManager said Begovic would start next match against Paris Saint-Germain

question:
Wisconsin's Republican governor Scott Walker became the 20th major party candidate for president on Monday with a speech that name-checked Planned Parenthood, the ISIS terror army, Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin and the Kohl's chain of department stores. The early GOP favorite has waited month after month to enter the race as others leaped in, but finally declared his availability for the White House in a suburb of Milwaukee. Walker cast himself as the economic and military heir to Ronald Reagan, and a hardscrabble survivor with a statewide record that, he says, can scale up to the size of a nation.Walker joins the fray with 14 other Republicans and five DemocratsPitches Kohl's Department Stores as a volume-pricing example of how the US tax code should reach more workers with lower ratesSlams Obama for 'leading from behind,' being weak on Iran and Russia, and failing to be a friend to IsraelPledges to repeal Obamacare and green-light the Keystone XL pipelineCasual Walker wore no necktie and spoke with a lapel microphone – reciting a memorized speech without a teleprompter – and enters the race in 2nd place in polls
