Republic of Ireland: (v Italy) Henderson (Aston Villa); Kelly (Tottenham Hotspur), Cooney (Coventry City), Paisley (Longford Town), Kohlmann (Borussia Dortmund); Flood (Manchester City), Keegan (Leeds United), Foley (Liverpool), Kearney (Cork City); Murphy (Waterford United), Bradley (Arsenal).
Cooney, born in Australia, is making his Ireland debut. I think Murphy is, too. It is certainly his first start. Match kicked off at 4:00 Irish Time, no word on a score. Final Score: Ireland 1-0 Italy.
A Liam Kearney goal on 81 minutes. |
