Raymond Domenech Match Quotations

If we lose against the Faeroes, the Ireland match will no longer be decisive. It will just be a friendly. I'm not saying the Faeroe Islands are Brazil, but you have to beat them to play a worthwhile match in Ireland.

We have reviewed the tape of the match and there were many situations in which we looked anything but comfortable. They put us under a lot of pressure and we were lucky to win.

I'm happy with what the guys tried to do tonight. This was the kind of match which helps you prepare for the future. We can still be confident.

It's a concrete argument. If we had played on Nov. 16, the players would be back to their clubs the following day and playing a match on Saturday (Nov. 19), followed by crucial European Cup matches. I put myself in the position of a club coach.

I decided that Fabien is going to play the first match and Greg will be the goalkeeper for the second,

The match with the Faroe Islands is so far away that I am not worried.
