This is it, the decisive
moment for both of the Emerald Isle squads, in this edition of Euro 2016, that
after making all around history as a first time of both squads participating altogether
in an international tournament. Both
North Ireland and the Republic of Ireland playing in a historic second round at
the same time in this edition of Euro 2016.
The time for truth
has arrived and reality for both squads, for one being its first time in a Euro
event and netting its pass into the round of 16 is something to admire by these
group-hardened stance and all around determination. The Norn Iron date with its
cousin the Republic of Wales squad will be a one of a kind match between these
two squads.
Very well, by seeing these
two squads, in their Saturdays date in Parc Des Princes in Paris, considered as
a showdown of epic proportions between two first timers and at the end this
match has all the essence of defined by PKs. One thing we can brace ourselves
will be the duel between these squad’s goalies as the Welsh Dragons count
highly on Wayne Hennessey and for the Norn Iron Michael Mc Govern.
This match can be the
highlight of this Euro- with both squad’s passion and hunger to win and make
all around history by advancing in this tournament. The pressure will be in
both men at the helm of these squads and especially in Michael O’ Neill the Green
and White Army Boss, who will try his best to have his squad advance into the
next rounds.
For the Norn Iron
Boss will be pone of his toughest of challenges to try to make the ultimate of miracles
as the one his squad recently endured with a little help from his friends the
Turks, that netted their pass into the sweet 16. Now the goals of the Green and
White Army are to be in the ultimate eight of this tournament, continue with
their amazing streak, and continue writing their own history.
A duel of Managers, Chris
Coleman from Wales going against Michael O’ Neill from North Ireland will be a
grand showdown of strategies and displaying an awesome football.
On the Republic of
Ireland date with the hosts of this edition of Euro and seen as a payback match
after that handball that eliminated the Green Army a few years ago and left
them out of that World Cup. For the Boys in Green Boss Martin O’ Neill grand
entry into the round of 16 was a feat like no other and seeing a continuance of
his luck along with his Boys.
Still the only
problem for the Republic of Ireland will be his foes by playing not only a
French initial eleven, but also the whole nation, for their Manager is not a problem
as pressure is something this squad has really mastered and surpass since the qualifiers
and recently against Italy.
As the Boys in Green
play on Sunday, hopefully a win from their cousins up North can be of an
inspiration and be something to look for in their difficult but not impossible
quest of advancing into the next stages. For the Green Army their match against
France another squad considered as another of Europe powerhouses, this game foe
do not imply any pressure to the Boys of Erin.
After all the Republic
of Ireland already has beaten squads of the likes of Germany and Italy and
France can be another one of their feats in the era of Michael O’ Neill.
Is this a decisive
moment for both of Erin squads, it is,
as both Green Armies will be put in test on Paris and Lyon to show off their mettle
and determination that put them in this edition of Euro.
