i told yas stoch is a good player. i actually think this is a good result for us. we're more than capable of beating slovakia home and away. they're not the strongest team in the world. they are vulnerable. i'd be more confident of us beating them than russia. i think russia just underestimated them like they did slovenia in the play offs ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

Slovakia '10 are a completely different problem to us than than Slovakia '07. To go away and win in Russia is a great result for any team.
A draw would have been a better result for us as both teams would have dropped points. Russia's next game is in Dublin too, they won't want to lose two games in a row

well the fact they lost tonight will also make them go all out attack in dublin, which in turn will leave them vulnerable, which we can take advantage of  unless they get themselves an away win to balance out this home defeat, they can almost consider themselves out of the running in only the 3rd game. this is a good position for us when you think about it. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

This result for Slovakia really sets the group into a very interesting battle.
Agree with CPS...Russians will now come to Dublin needing to win back dropped points.
That last minute goal Slovakia got at home to Macedonia may be crucial, let's hope we're not cursing it next year.
3pts for us now against Russia at home next month is even more massive than before.

thanks. Yes, you need take three points, but Russians will be under pressure, this need good tactics. Personaly I no believe, that Russians again no score and it will be hard task to score twice, because Ireland always hard to score. If you win, you almost sign off Russians, on the other hand if you dropp points it will be harder for you in SLovakia. Everything could change many dropped points against Macedonia, we have good draw, because we play over there last game of the campaign and under big pressure and for Macedonia in this tame game for nothing we could win over there. Our coach said that decisives games are in Macedonia, it look right. |

why are people getting so upset and worried already because slovakia beat russia? we were in it to win it..who cares about the other results.. 1 game at a time..and lets go to win them all! yes its true - we now need to beat russia at home or face an uphill challenge but wernt we always looking to win that game! we beat russia at home and they are chasing us and slovakia for the rest of the campaign.. russia had a few years there of doing well but now they are going back to become the 3rd seeded team they once were |

Russia 1 - 0 Slovakia
They came back strongly against Slovakia as they sought an equalising goal. They had the ball in the net in the second half but their claims were correctly disallowed because of an offside decision.
Slovakia competed in the World Cup finals in South Africa in June and they showed the benefits of regular matches together. Their win over Russia meant they went to the top of the table in Group B, a position Ireland can take from them if they succeed in defeating Andorra by more than one goal. Slovakia won their opening game of the tournament when they scored a goal in added time to defeat Macedonia 1-0. ------------- "I Shall Not Be Provoked." Propagandhi, 2010 |

Ups what a problem turned up.I have to go collect my money to Boyle Our coach knew well why he wanted to play Russians early.Advoccat doesnt know his players yet.We were bit lucky but i dont care.I was expecting our second goal in the second half and bit easier game after that.But we are really missing Sestak and Vittek.Skrtel was outstanding today, Stoch kept them busy at back and Hamsik was everywhere. My view is that its going to be harder agianst Ireland cos they never will send 3 strikers at same time on the pitch and never open play as Russians did.Its going to be so hard to create any chances.And it might take only one. But there is Armenia before that and Ireland v Russia where we would like to see a draw. We have a great team now which know how to win tough matches. SVK - NI 2:1 SVK - POL 2:1 ...0:1 5mins. to go CZE - SVK 1:2 NI - SVK 0:2 POL - SVK 0:1 ITA - SVK 2:3 dont count San Marino Draws: SVK - CZE 2:2 NZ - SVK 1:1 Lost twice against Slovenia and once to Paraguay and WC finalist Netherlands. |

simon - I see Vitek, he miss, but Sestak is out of form and who would be benched instead him? - stoch,hamsik,jendrisek or sign off weiss?As a winger is Sestak poor in one to one play and static, hamsik, stoch working hard as you told, they are everywhere and Weiss with more game minutes in Rangers he will improve during the season. We play after october games, in next year march-jun against Andora and autumn rest of the games, till this time youngsters will more mature, somebody new could be added who jump in and we could be far better team, but without sestak he will almost thirty etc... Today Holosko if showed more quality in combination with head, we could win 3-0. But in situations two to two, two to one in many situations he was very poor. Holosko is especialy runner, he work hard with aggression, this is very opposite against Sestak who no working hard enough and is too static. Vitek know lock a ball when we need and play better combinations. We need in future striker who is more complete player. Jendrisek is slowly improving, but he need play first eleven in Schalke, or Sylvester if improved it could be interesting to see.
You right hamsik played very well, I hope Kucka take little break after 16 games in two months for games in October, because in Armenia with poor performance we can easily drop points, but they look mature team, who is not childish... |

I like Sestak style.He is our Inzaghi.He has the same smell for goals and can pick right place in box. I expected more from Holosko today.This game was made to suit him!But midfield was to busy defending and right side was dead for attacks with Karhan.He cant do combinations thats right. Armenia is going to be tricky game and with trying to win some players have to play carefully cos 2 yellows. |

Date Posted: 07 Sep 2010 at 5:12pm
i'd disagree man. we won't show them any respect. we'll know that if we beat them, it's a 2 horse race between ourselves and slovakia. the problem was in the last qualifiers, we didn't play italy until march in the 2010 qualifying and it was away so we were always going to go for the draw and be happy with that. here, we have a situation where we're in the driving seat and if we win, it's going to be very very difficult for russia as we'll be on 9 points from the same number of games and they're only on 3. sets us up beatifully for the slovakia game. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

simon- inzaghi style?!  Sestak never play on the offside line, we play one striker, he cant take this position and wingers are there better. i dont see him as a useful, if vitek,holosko,jendrisek keep fit. maybe in games, if we play two strikers...he slowly will be sign off i predict. He not played against Italy, Netherland. Let now he not played in Russia, all our best games he mess. I see him, that he lost little motivation to improve and fall into stagnation. I have seen him in Turkish league, last season with Bochum was poor, he had injuries, but i see his mentality from TV reports what is inside him, we qualified WC and he said: we can be happy, that we qualified, already is this enough, something like that never say skrtel,hamsik,stoch,weiss they have more inspiring mentality...

cps89- you right, if Ireland beat Russia, for them begining serious trouble, because every next dropped point make them out not only from first position, but possibly from second. If everybody earn 18 points (maccedonia,armenia,andorra) there sure Ireland or Slovakia make more than 24 points, what is Russians maximum, next draw in Slovakia, or in Macedonia sign them off definitely...you right.
But on the other hand propagandhi seen thinking about that, if Russia beat Ireland what will happen in Irish players heads. it is not good draw for you, because after four days you come to Zilina and we know, that we going sign off Ireland and you need three points back.. |
Posted By: simon
Date Posted: 07 Sep 2010 at 5:48pm
I hate that mentality : we achieved enough cos we qualified...but Vittek had 2 maybe 3 bad years for national team and he scored 4 goals on WC.So i dont write Sestak off yet.Hope he will bounce back even better! |

| but what was wrong with Vitek under carpet?? he got knee injury and one year he not played football and then you need get full fitness very long time. I no sign off sestak definitely, but I only see situation in squad, what tactic we play. Once again: we play 4-2-3-1 behind central striker-sestak cannot play, are best options: stoch-hamsik-weiss(jendrisek superb play against Italy) and Sestak has difficulty play this, because he has problem to run back and defending. He will in 2012 almost thirty, till this time stoch-hamsik no chance take their possition and weiss,jendrisek improve a lot. Central striker can play only holosko or vitek, then Nemec, or Oravec. But I dont see space for Sestak. Last qualification he played, because stoch,weiss only came in as unexperienced, but why you think he was benched in WC? because in weiss tactics he is unusefull. When we wont have injuries, probably there arising troubles with him, same scenario as Mintal, Jakubko opened mounths and i have seen Sestak talks : why i was benched in WC i deserved etc. this is not good for team spirit. Only injuries, cards could bring him back for several games.. |

everybody is beatable in national football between first three pots, but have you seen todays Russians game? is hard to say Russians played bad football, they had several semi-chances they no dissapointed me, but we Slovaks were very tricky [;) with seven defence orientated players] be aware of Russians. |

well we'll be playing on the artificial patch in the olympic stadium and it will be a bigger, more hostile crowd so might be more of a task then slovakia had today. also, the goal was an absolute gift from russia. just saying all the same, i always felt that both sides are beatable if we have the right mentality. ------------- My dream has always been to play for the Republic of Ireland - James McClean. |

Carmody no one expected Slovakia to take all 3 points from that game tonight apart from Barlow, when Trap would have looked at all the games he would have had Russia to be on 6 points after 2 games and not Slovakia, its a disaster IMO, need to go and beat Slovakia next month or else it could be a long campaign.
For the record I cant see us beating Slovakia or Russia away by the way.

If we want to qualify on top from this group, we should be concentrating on our results and not sh*tting ourselves about others. We have 6 points, good confidence and neither Russia or Slovakia are world beaters, far from it. Our lads are capable of beating both of these sides at home and hopefully have enough character these days to go away to both countries and get a result.

I think both Russia and Slovakia are better technically than Italy and of course a lot of teams are better than the French team that we faced. I think they will probably be the two hardest tests of the Trap era. Of course we showed way too much tactical naivete in both Italy matches. I hope history doesn't repeat itself. Maybe the fact that Trap isn't from Eastern Europe will help. I'm resigned to the fact that Kilbane will start both games which will put us at a huge disadvantage from the off. I just hope that Andrews comes in for Green because the stars aren't aligning for a Fahey or Gibson start and of course Meyler, McCarthy and Wilson are stories for a different day. I don't need to elaborate on my opinions of Green and Kilbane. God bless the lad (Green) but he isn't up to this level and Kilbane played adequately against Armenia and Andorra but Russia and Slovakia have some of the best young wingers in international football and I fear that Killer won't know what will hit him. ------------- "I Shall Not Be Provoked."
