Sad to say but not too excited about this one. Brazil generally don't kill themselves during their marketing promotions, sorry I mean matches, and our lads don't look to bothered either.
Richard Dunne was saying at the weekend why should the team try as the FAI have not been able to organise a manager for the game. Lord help us, if one of the good guys, and senior player of the year, is saying why bother, for a match at home to Brazil, then it is no wonder the fans are not too enthused.
When we played them 4 years ago the buzz was far bigger than this and it is not just down to some of the big name Brazilian players pulling out. We are the only national team in Europe without a manager.
We have only three friendlies, including the Brazil one, before the WC Campaign begins. The new guy will have then just two games to look at his squad and pick the group for the campaign. I know we don't have a huge group to pick from but there are a few worth a first call (Noel Hunt), a few worth a re-call (Morrison) and a few worth a phone call (Ireland). If these are to be integrated back into a new look team then the process must start now.
If Trap can only start in the summer he is worth waiting for and he can work with Givens or his assistant to get things moving and convince the lads it is worth the effort, we are serious about qualifying.
Sarkozy managed to run France, meet a supermodel 12 years his junior and marry her in the time it has taken Don and the lads to interview some of the worst managers ever to put on a tracksuit with their initials stuck on in little crappy letters.
