    What are our chances here do you think? England don't seem that much better than us and we should be able to beat China anyway

    Quarter Finals should be the goal

    It will all come down to the England game, otherwise we will be relying on the crossover games and that will be a lottery.

    Lads are all training hard though. Alex Cox has decided to move the squad training to Holland now, as the greater part of the squad are based reasonably close.

    Who would have heard of it, the Irish National Team training in Holland. Still I suppose it makes sense

    This was always going to be the toughest game and we came up just short. Last few times we`ve played them we have been hammered, never in the game. Today we competed throughout the game and could have snatched something.
    However all the commentators are saying China won`t be pushovers this time and have drawn England 2-2. This make Tuesdays game crucial
