Táimid Fhrainc Ceangailte are the exact words of a proud national
sqaud that earned its pass with an all around pride and determination, as it
translates in Gaelic as France bound!
Seal and delivered is what one man work speaks for himself after
taking his squad to the grand fete of European soccer to be celebrated in
France this upcoming 2016.
For the Norn Iron
Manager Michael O’ Neill, he has really done a superb job at the helm of this
national team with a lineup of promising and hardened superstar’s ready for
everything since day one in the qualifiers in Group F.
And indeed this squad
really showed off being seeded in a not so easy group that included the likes
of Hungary, Greece a past Euro champion, Romania, Finland and modest Faroe
Islands.
Still the
determination and focus on the real deal was a part of the Green and White Army
that this time showed up and play their best ever football and never let its
followers down as well its manager who injected a lot of optimism in all of
them.
Here we have a squad
that everything was its first time as tops in this group and its finals to
qualify for their pass in Euro and playing against an unmotivated Greek
national team not playing like in its old days.
An initial eleven
that really fought its way through the qualifiers and really delivered for its side
with a very inspired and on target captain Steven Davis who contributed with
two goals in the 35’ and 58’ as the go ahead goal and another contributor to
the cause in Killarmook striker Josh Magennis who scored another on the 49’.
Confirming the
expected as North Ireland wrapped up the inevitable and what they were seeing
from some time back after a series of wondrous and one of a kind performance
from its chap’s since the start of the Euro knockout rounds.
One more match as a
compromise will be this Sunday at Helsinki were the Norn Iron will play its
last match against an already eliminated Finnish National Team at Helsinki to
close in what many have labeled as a successful Euro run.
This is it and more
to come from a new and ambitious Norn Iron seeking one more time another
stellar performance and continue with its new spectacular football that netted
them their utmost and unforgettable pass considered as an historical in this
squad.
Hail to the man at
its helm and his belief in his Boys in Green and White and surpassing all of
the skeptics and non-believers’ odds given to this squad, by the way he
silenced many mouths and left many in state of disarray.
Bravo Fhoireann peile náisiúnta i dTuaisceart Éireann for your one of a kind achievement and many continued successes in
your France adventure and challenge up ahead, Dea-buachaillí Ádh mór i Glas agus Bán!
