The Republic of Ireland team to play Brazil at the Emirates Stadium, Tuesday at 8.05 is: Shay Given (Manchester City); Stephen Kelly (Fulham), Paul McShane (Hull City), Sean St Ledger (Preston North End), Kevin Kilbane (Wigan Athletic); Liam Lawrence (Stoke City), Glenn Whelan (Stoke City), Keith Andrews (Blackburn Rovers), Damien Duff (Fulham); Leon Best (Newcastle United), Kevin Doyle (Wolverhampton Wanderers).

What an amazing 3 points, although some will argue that Chelsea lost the plot in the second-half, having 2 players sent off. We don’t mind though. “Rock on City!”

Clean sheets are rare in the Premiership but Shay will be happy with that albeit not with the result.

Haha, we had to laugh here as Shay is quite a character both on and off the pitch. :-)

I’d dearly love to see City go at Man Utd. on their home turf and take another victory at Old Trafford to proceed to the final, but one things for certain, they won’t roll over without a fight. :-)

These should be two red-hot encounters.”Semi finals are great but people only remember the cup winners. We are all set up to achieve something here. We want to win a trophy”.

On the new Manager:“He is quite a cool and relaxed guy but he knows what he wants from the team,” declared Given who has managed three clean sheets in succession under the Italian. Since he arrived we have worked hard on defending as a unit. We have worked a lot on shadow play and where he wants everyone to be when we don’t have the ball. He is adamant about how he wants the team to set up. I have been impressed by him.

“I owe Mark Hughes a lot for bringing me to the club but as a professional you have to move on. The owners made the decision to change and they pay the wages.”

“The aim is still to try and win something this season. We made a good start in the FA Cup at the weekend and we a close to a final in the Carling Cup.

“We have only lost twice all season so we are doing ok. One of those was against United and I have to admit it took a long while to get over that result. We played well that day without any reward. Hopefully it will be different on Wednesday night.”
