“I can’t imagine any other country, countries in the world who are far worse off than us, playing on something like that. I don’t think it’s too much to ask, just for a pitch that’s even watered. It’s so dangerous. It’s 激しく揺する hard.
“One or two of the lads have 選ぶd up 傷害s. I’m amazed there hasn’t been more but give it time. But you know, we’re the Irish team, it’s a laugh and a joke. We shouldn’t 推定する／予想する too much.”
The substandard training 施設s were “the tip of the iceberg” for a player who 発表するd he would retire from international football at the end of the tournament ? a 決定／判定勝ち（する） that would be taken out of his 手渡すs.

The bombshell story 脅すd to derail their World Cup and even saw Irish 総理大臣 Bertie Ahern 開始する，打ち上げる a 企て，努力，提案 to 解決する the 列／漕ぐ／騒動, but that was not enough to change things.
The 損失 was done and Keane 長，率いるd 支援する to Manchester from Saipan.
“I feel 広大な／多数の／重要な and have a （疑いを）晴らす 良心,” the Cork-born midfielder said ahead of 搭乗 a flight to England.
“I am happy to be going home to see my family it’s good to be going home.
“I have no 悔いるs. There are more important things to worry about.”
Ireland went の上に draw with 結局の finalists Germany and finish second in their group, before 屈服するing out to Spain in an excruciating last-16 刑罰，罰則 shootout 敗北・負かす.
