Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, today (October 30) announced a 25 man squad for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying play off against France in Croke Park on November 14 (kick off 20.00 hrs) and in Stade de France, four days in later, on November 18 (kick off 21.00 hrs – 20.00 hrs Irish time).

Giovanni Trapattoni said, “We performed strongly throughout the qualifying group stages. We were undefeated in all ten games and this is a reflection of how we have played and also the mental strength of this team. France have a strong squad but we go into this play off knowing that we are only 180 minutes away from qualifying for the World Cup.”
