The team as a whole isnt particularly exciting but when you have those sorts of players you can usually count on a moment of individual brilliance to stand out.
Ireland dont have a single flare player in their team, their best player is Shay Given and he is their goalie. The rest of them are pretty average players who play for average teams. Their next two best players are Keane and Dunne who play for Tottenham and Villa, That says alot about them really.
