Lars Lagerback Ireland Quotations

We had a bad day at work. I don't think we've had such a day since 1998 when we started versus Spain, but respect to Ireland - they were much more aggressive, much more concentrated and we did not play as a team.

It's an important game for us, the first time all the professional players are called. Ireland has a good side with a new manager and will give us a great game. They will play a strong game and it's vital to us to have a good performance. The result is of secondary importance.
