  • Ireland unlikely to face England in a friendly

Football Association of Ireland chief executive John Delaney has admitted a friendly against England before Euro 2012 is unlikely.

England could meet the Republic of Ireland in the quarter-finals of next summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

There had been suggestions the teams could meet in the build-up to the finals.

But Delaney told Ken Doherty's show on Sunshine FM: "The England game is looking less likely for May.

"The fact from the English perspective that we could play them in the quarter-finals...they're not that keen to do it in May, but they're keen to come sooner rather than later after that.

"But it's highly unlikely that it would be May now."

Ireland have been drawn in Group C at Euro 2012 alongside Spain, Italy and Croatia, while England are in Group D with France, Sweden and Ukraine.

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
