We know ourselves we need to be better and that’s what we’re going to do Andrew Omobamidele Asked if he had a message for the fans, he said: “I think just kind of reinforce that every single body on this team wants to play for Ireland and is proud and knows it’s a privilege to put on the green jersey. “We know ourselves we need to be better and that’s what we’re going to do.” Having succumbed to early goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish at the weekend, Ireland made it to half-time against the Greeks intact, but Fotis Ioannidis broke the deadlock five minutes after the restart and Christos Tzolis sealed victory at the death. He said: “It’s obviously a good finish, but that’s a real sucker punch for us after a positive first half.
