Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has delayed finalising his team for
Saturday's World Cup play-off first leg against France at Croke Park.
Below is a list of teams with some quality players which will unfortunately miss the World Cup
next summer:
Ireland- The Irish team may not be the most talented to miss out on
qualification but certainly was unjustly eliminated by France. The Ireland squad is not as deep as
other but has talented players such as Aiden McGeady who plays as a winger and/or forward for
Celtic.
In my piece yesterday, I discussed all of the reasons that Ireland's potential qualification was
better for World Football than France's would be. I detailed my reasoning without any mention that
a group of hard working custodians of the game should not be denied by a group of talented but
unsporting cheats.
