What response from McAuley?

And who's Portugal's gifted player - Meireles? Certainly not the Salford RedSox reject.

How could big Davy play up front AND right back? That's just silly

Don't mean to rain on your parade Earl, or any of you for that matter. I just don't know what you boys see in International football. I dunno, maybe it's just me but I think it's one of the biggest hoodwinks of the modern era. Best of luck to yiz anyway.

Not a problem
Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned, was brought up in the days when playing for your Country actually meant something.

Too many of the big earners couldn't give a monkeys now, plus the big time Charlie managers get annoyed (which is sweet) when their players are called up.

This is it Earl. For example how many of the players who say they are proud to play for their country will be on the Azerbaijan trip compared to those who go on the Portugal trip. I'd say the difference will be like night and day.

There was certainly a time when it meant something Earl, those days are long gone. It's not NI per se, it's the same the world over. Anybody who thinks Ronaldo will play at Windsor will be sadly disappointed.
