Will Germany thrash us again?

I think we will be anihalated home and away by the krauts. Another 5 or 6 goal tanking is a real possibility.

4 or under would be a good result

 the typical reaction to a result

It's irrelevant really, our fate will not be decided in our games v Germany. I just hope we are braver than last time and go toe to toe rather than roll over before a ball is kicked

Good jaysus Doyler you cant say that 

Short term, we want quality players to come through for left back, in goal and at least one consistent finisher up front. Our midfield is the only place where we seem to be getting stronger-touch wood. If we had all that then we've some chance, why not? O Neill's no shirker, he's been in the game a while plus the Gerries are always due a bad day.

Longer term, we need at least three home football academies, GAA style funding and facilities and commitment from government for grassroots football all the way up etc etc yadeyadeya. Basically all the stuff that the likes of Mayo Mark bangs on about and we need it pronto pronto pronto. Otherwise the gulf in class between us and the likes of Germany, Spain and the Netherlands is realistically speaking not going to stop widening any time soon.

What affect does my attitude, (actually its more my opinion that we will get tanked) have on the teams performance???   If I think we will win 2-0 it wont change reality.   Its not friendly results though is it thats cause for concern?  Germany hammered Portugal who hammered us.  Germany gave us two hidings last time and we have been getting spanked by Croatia, Spain and Italy who along with Germany and Portugal when we played them respectively were among the top 7 teams in the world. So any top team we play we have been getting a hiding off.  Due to our declining squad and imo very lacklustre management team I fear an absolute mauling.
