The only mistake done in this qualification is Ireland's defeat of Russia, a team in the FIFA ranking higher than them.

Ireland has two time series result when opponents Slovakia. Luckily, they can bring home one point from Russia in Moscow.

The new Irish enlisting to qualify for the group stage in 1988, ie, when Jack Charlton led the team can perform in the finals in West Germany.

They were able to beat England, played a draw with the Soviet Union, and lost to the Netherlands. Ireland had become an important participant in the group round.

They must undergo a play-off with a face the Netherlands in 1996 and Turkey in 2000.

Ireland also failed in two qualification afterwards. However, thanks to the slick appearance, they were finally able to advance to the finals in 2012.

Robbie Keane Ireland Republic
Football Captain

The Italian who has won many titles that have faced public criticism often leveled Ireland.

There is a great regret that experienced 72-year-old man related tactical methods and selection of the squad.

However, there is an indisputable fact, Trapattoni has passed the Irish to a great tournament for the first time in a decade. Moreover, two years ago, they have failed in the play-offs for the 2010 World Cup due to Theirry Henry's handball that helped France win.

Trap seems less to get praise from connoisseurs of football since his playing style is more like applying a holding pattern, an aggressive midfielder, and the speed of the wing players.

Ireland is actually a reactive rather than proactive team. However, the evidence they qualify for the big competition that Trapattoni can stifle any criticism against him.

Irish players back numbered 10 it can donate a lot of goals for his country, when other players can not do. Keane could get into the ranks of important players on the international level, despite his club career precisely the opposite.

Keane have had a disappointing career at Inter and Liverpool. He was described as dichotomous players, between Keane and Keane for the country to the club. However, there are only two active players who can transcend international goal record Keane, ie Stern John and Miroslav Klose, and only Hakan Suker and Jon-Dahl Tomasson who has scored more goals than him in European Championship qualifying.

Keane is a player who remains alive, though still have to face to face with the last defender. He can wait in the penalty box to perform the initial reaction and then scored, opponents clubs from various levels.

31-year-old striker will not have many opportunities in international tournaments, but the Irish certainly will always miss him when he was retired.

Kevin Doyle , Ireland

Ireland has great players such as Liam Brady, Roy Keane or Paul McGrath who took part in tough matches.

Trapattoni's farm team known so nimble opponents that are difficult to spend rather than the collective power of individuals to serve their resistance.

To deal with tough opponents, the Irish are usually put high expectations on Shay Given to guarantee a strong defense.

35-year-old keeper conceded just twice in seven competitive international matches. Ireland's reputation as a team to survive can be seen at a high dependence on Given.

Aston Villa goalkeeper was a world-class goalkeeper. The main drawback in the race itself is on the balls. However, veteran goalkeeper who has 119 caps incised it is one of the best players of his generation.

Wigan midfielder's 21-year-old had been in two hearts, between Ireland, the land of his fathers, and Scotland, his homeland.

He was finally able to close any doubts related to its international service to undergo competitive debut for Ireland versus Macedonia in March 2010.

Shay Given , Ireland Goalkeeper

He still could be a lot to prove to Trapattoni, who had summoned him to a squad, but withdrew due to injury.

However, in the course according to Euro 2012, McCarthy has a lot of chances that he be eligible to show in the finals. He is a young player most likely berlatenta who enter into the final squad of 23 players. He has the passing of accurate, precise positioning, and high responsibility.

The Derby Day Mancini VS Ferguson The FA CUP

The FA CUP
Manchester City Vs United

Sport News 2012 - Roberto Mancini has found only one solution to solve the shortage problem that plagued players Manchester City (Man City).

He considers this problem can only be overcome if Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan gave back capital spending for the sake of the players. That's what Mancini revealed when answering questions at a press conference ahead of the FA Cup third round duel against local rivals Manchester United (MU) on Etihad, today.

Knowing Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko injury, Gareth Barry sanctioned ban on playing, and the brothers Toure (Kolo and Yaya) is absent because it answers the call state, Mancini assess his squad need additional ammo if Man City will end the 2011/2012 season with success. "We do not like Manchester United or Chelsea. They are used to cope with injury crisis.

While we had this time involved the league title race. We need a new signing, "said Mancini, told the Manchester Evening News. Mancini aware of activity in the transfer market will create a position of financial abuse-prone Man City UEFA fair play. For that he was ready to throw some of his men unused to the club's financial balance sheet remains in balance.

FA Cup Derby City Vs United

Through the statement, Mancini also admits mentally nicknamed The Citizens-Man City-not as tough rivals in the competition to occupy the throne of England. Just a few kilometers from Carrington Training Centre media room, exercise center Man City, Sir Alex Ferguson found a similar question about the injury crisis that strikes MU.

However, different reactions are given the Scottish skipper. Ferguson is reluctant to recruit new players. He insisted on the attitude that has been shown many times, namely the full confidence of every individual, including young player. Ferguson dismissed the rumors that have linked even interest in Manchester United to a player, one of which brought the issue of Chelsea's Frank Lampard icon.

"The advantage in the Man City. But, we did not panic. We have the experience to overcome this problem, "said Ferguson. Worth the wait if Ferguson will stick to his convictions if the Red Devils Manchester United-nickname-again humiliated neighbors on game day, such as painful 1-6 defeat at the meeting of the Premier League at Old Trafford, October last year.

As the January transfer window opened, it was likely due to the establishment of Ferguson's faltering temptation to buy new signing. Even so, the obvious differences in approach in solving Mancini and Ferguson problem.Mancini choose instant solutions through recruiting new ammunition with Ferguson put the long-term process through the maturation of young players.

Although they have money to spend, although MU lately because of accumulated debts must save club owners the Glazer family, Fergie reluctant to abandon the philosophy that made him successfully lead MU past 25 years. By contrast the steps taken both coaches deserves understandable. As acknowledged Mancini, The Citizens need time to build their young team.

However, the magnitude dependence Man City to Sheikh Mansour endowment fund can be a blunder in the future. Remember a few years ago. Roman Abramovich has poured most of the funds as Chelsea polish and set aside for the education of young players. But where these talents? Josh McEachran and Gael Kakuta not being played.

Sir Alex Ferguson Vs Roberto Mancini

Patrick van Aanholt and Jeffrey Bruma entrusted to another club. While Michael Mancienne, Jack Cork, and Michael Woods sold due to lack of grazing opportunities. Man City likely to make the same mistake if you keep buying star players and abandoning their academy students.

Therefore, the maturation of Abdul Razak, Nedum Onuoha, Alex Nimely, or Dedryck Boyata will not be maximized because more often dwelt on the bench watching David Silva et al in action. So, what's the point Man City issued approximately 100 million pounds to establish university young players?

Andrea Pirlo

Had raised concerns that often plagued the Buffon's injury be a problem for Italy. However, the concern was annihilated after Buffon appeared nine times in Serie A with Juvetnus Italy.

Max Allegri made some mistakes since taking over as coach of AC Milan, but let Andrea Pirlo leaving the San Siro with a status of free transfer at the end of the season starts to look like the most bizarre transfers in history.

Pirlo rediscover his best performance at Juventus, and became a key component of the Bianconeri rejuvenation project under coach Antonio Conte.

Gianluigi Buffon , Italy Goalkeeper

Pirlo in the midfield position Italy is in danger, after the disastrous 2010 World Cup. However, after the success at Euro 2012 qualifier, 34-year-old playmaker became one of the names on the core team Prandelli.

Prandelli said: "No players are able to create space and time like Pirlo.

Mario Balotelli perhaps the most controversial players at this time. As a result, people become easy to forget the extraordinary talent.

Suddenly, Balotelli becomes very important for Italy, following the catastrophic injuries suffered by Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano.

Stocky, Balotelli is an explosive striker, clever, and full of finesse, as shown in the derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Masi he was 21 years old, and believed to be a big player in the future. Euro 2012 may be the beginning of the tournament that justifies a lot of opinions about it.
