The O’Neill-Keane dream team era is off to a positive start as we open a new chapter in the Irish football story. Coaching, grassroots, promotion and domestic soccer are all in the pot on the YBIG Football Show this week.
Two games into the reign of O’Neill/Keane and the shot in the arm to Irish soccer has been like an adrenaline rush following the tedium of Trap’s last days. A positive display against Latvia followed by more of the same in Poland before an element of tiredness set in has given everyone reason for optimism. If only we’d had this six months ago. Here’s ten talking points.
The O’Neill era got off to a winning start as Ireland posted a 3-0 victory over Latvia at the Aviva Stadium. After the match, the new boss expressed his delight with the performance of his players.
