[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 922938, member: 55747"] I think you are being a bit too optimistic, and to be completely honest, it's kind of a "thing" with the irish. Phrases like "the best generation" (2007) and "back to back champions" (2015) come to mind. Every year before a world cup (or thereabouts) your team does well and your countrymen's expectations explode. It's quite amazing because in my experience the irish tend to be incredibly self-critical with anything and everything, except when it comes to rugby and world cups. If you have a tiny bit below average day and England/France/Scotland/Wales has an above average game, they can beat you. It's not a stretch. [/QUOTE]
