Keane’s war cry
ROBBIE Keane has warned reigning champions Italy the Republic of Ireland are ready to inflict more pain on them as the qualifying campaign comes to a head.
Ireland stunned the world champions on Wednesday when Keane snatched an equaliser.
Now, the Irish could even leapfrog Italy with a win in Bulgaria in June.
Keane, asked if his team could actually win Group Eight, said: “Of course we can.”
Ireland midfielder Stephen Hunt added: “We controlled the match and in the wind-up we could have snatched all three points.”
