Quote: Bob Flapper, Jun 2012I dont think we were lucky to qualify, we had the second best unbeaten run in international football.
We didn't play well in our group games, but we were in a group full of teams that have he ability to go on and win the tournament.
Yeah, but look at who we were up against in qualifying and the results we got. Unbeaten, sure. But we had a pretty easy run too. Armenia, Andorra, Macedonia, Slovakia. Even beating them, we didn't exactly win with style.
As for our Euro2012 group, yeah, we were unlucky with the draw. But at the same time, Spain, Italy and Croatia all have the ability to go on and win the tournament. But Ireland don't.
Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.
