    AGAIN!

    I suppose it's a case of the FAI trying to gain a few extra quid to pay for the new stadium and playing Brazil will guarantee sales.

    I like the little threat to the GAA though, "reduce your fees or we're going to England!"

    Does anyone else think that it will be an absolute joke if this game is played in England? Excluding most of your fanbase for an extra few million. The more and more these middlemen agencies come in and organise games the less chance we will have of seeing big teams coming to Ireland for friendlies. I cant see the long term benefit it will bring to football in Ireland either

    Last Brazil game was brilliant for one reason only. The Brazil subs would warm up together in a big group every 7/8 mins. S.Hunt would go out whenever they did and bump into them and bark at them like a dog. Lunatic.

    Boycott it. Maybe the increased financial pressure on the FAI will force Delaney and co. out into the cold were they belong.

    No, that would be boring. Brazil have some amazing players and getting the chance to see them live is brilliant.

    Hopefully we will be able to see the best of the Brazilians and Argentinians in Dublin in 2010
