Training should be interesting.
If you’re looking for a silver lining from Ireland’s last warm-up match against Belarus then at least nobody got injured. That’s pretty much it.
The boys in green were far from their best at Turner’s Cross, that opening half should be banished to football hell for all eternity, and Ireland’s assistant manager Roy Keane wasn’t too pleased with the showing in Ireland’s last match before they take on Sweden in Paris.
Here’s what he had to say about the overall performance levels.
