It's getting close to that time of year again... Ireland has already had 4 training sessions with plans on a few friendly matches in the next couple of weeks... From the word around camp Captain has arranged and secured fixtures with the Whitecaps, Nat'l U-20 team and Glasgow Giants Celtic (they're sharing our training ground prior to their clash with Man. Utd in Seattle)...
In doing so, Ireland is trying to become only the second nation (behind India) to actually train and set curfew for it's players a couple of months before the tourney!!! No water to be consumed after June 15th and a strict diet of shepards pie, bangers and mash, pastie suppers and Kelly O'Bryans Champ... Dosed in loads of salt is a requirement as well as washing it all down with a few pints of Guinness...
Any other countries started preparations yet???
