Ireland - Macedonia is on soon.
Ireland's already mediocre-at-best squad is weakened by injuries. This should be fun. The keeper and 2 of the back 4 have never played a competitive international match before. Worst of all, Kilbane is starting. Robbie Keane isn't match fit at all.
Westwood
Foley Dunne O'Dea Kilbane
McGeady Whelan Gibson Duff
Doyle Keane
Subs: David Forde, Stephen Kelly, James McCarthy, Shane Long, Ciaran Clark, Liam Lawrence, Keith Fahey.
This is David Forde's first call-up. He's from Galway and used to play for Galway United.
I'd prefer Lawrence to McGeady and maybe Long instead of Keane.
FYR Macedonia: 1 Nurerdinoski; 2 Shikov, 3 Popov, 4 Noveski, 15 Grncharov; 8 Shumulikosi, 17 Demiri, 16 Tasevski, 7 Trichovski; 10 Pandev, 11 Naumoski.
Subs: 12 Bogatinov, 5 Metreski, 6 Georgievski, 9 Risticj, 13 Despotovski, 18 Lazevski, 20 Gjurovski.
I don't know any of them except Pandev.
