World Cup draw is difficult



Croke Stadium, Dublin



They are placed in group C. The good news is they were not placed in Spains group. The Netherlands would have been tricky too

1.  Germany
2.  Sweden
3.  Republic of Ireland
4.  Austria
5.  Fareo Island
6.  Kazakhstan

The Bad

·        The Germans have been at every finals tournament since 1954.



·        They’ve won three of the 15 they’ve participated in

·         finished second twice and third three times

·       

The good :

• German game will fill Croke Park and this will add a nice profit in FAI.
•   Better TV revenue with Germany also.

  

Euro 2012

                     Presently Germany leads Group A with 7 wins and no loses. They have most goals for 22 and least against 3. I think only Spain would have been a worse draw than Germany. So it looks like the Boy’s in Green will battle Sweden for 2^nd spot and the playoff against. The playoff will be the 8 next best 2^nd place finishers. So it will be important to win ever game.
