successful thinking world
Qualifying for the second stage would be a successful World Cup for us. I think we can do it.
clubs joining world
I am absolutely delighted at the prospect of joining a world famous club like Inter.
boys fever world
At Leeds I've tried to concentrate on my club form, but you get caught up in all the World Cup fever once you come back to Ireland and see all the Irish boys again.
teamwork taken world
We have a great sense of togetherness. It is our team spirit that has taken us to this World Cup.
brian lads saying seen spirit team
The team spirit has always been here, it was here under Brian as well. You can't say it wasn't here under Brian because it was. But to have Mick Byrne come back has been nice. You've seen how much all the lads like Mick and that was just my way of saying 'welcome back'.
germans gone great result
That was a great result for England, but it has gone and I don't think the Germans will be welling on it when we play them this summer.
credit full hard second side work
We made hard work of it. They were a much better side in the second half. Full credit to them.
few people saying
There are a few people saying we can't (play together), but we know we can.
kick likes spending time trouble
We get on well and it won't be too much trouble spending so much time with him. He has a strange way of sleeping as he likes to kick off all the blankets and just have them up by his chest.
chance given held trying
We were given no chance against them, but we held our own and we will be trying to do the same this summer.
amount far finals tremendous
There was a tremendous amount of disappointment in missing the World Cup finals in 1998, so they're getting excited about this one and I really think we could do well in the Far East.
easiest germany tremendous
Some have said it is the easiest group at the World Cup, but we realize it won't be like that. Germany are a tremendous side, but to be honest I don't know much about Cameroon and Saudi Arabia.
carried game hopefully
We don't want to get too carried away. We'll take each game as it comes and hopefully in May we'll be there.
bit deliberate luck
It wasn't deliberate handball, but you need a bit of luck.
