How do you produce a scintillating Ireland-Italy football match?

You pick 3 Stoke City players, all set-piece specialists, one of whom (Whelan) scores in the 8th minute from a free kick by another (Lawrence). Italy were very, very lucky with their 89th minute equaliser. Read all about it here.

Off to prepare my Research Methods lecture now: dry but important… Then it's Carter's Wise Children tonight, PR with Yvonne Gaskell tomorrow morning, then something for Communications, then Zoot's doing the Poetry lecture. After that, I simply have to dream up a 2 hour lecture on Much Ado About Nothing. Any ideas?

The same way you get England to play decent football.

You hire an Italian to teach them how to play.

Yes, I'd noted that similarity too. Trappatoni's a cool guy. He's 70 and still joins in all the conditioning routines.

Yes, but our Italian still has his 100% undeafeated record in the qualifiers.
Let's hope the Stokies are fit for the play offs, Voley!
