Giovanni Trapattoni: "I am proud to be the manager of the Irish players because the Irish players have heart. But we have achieved results not only with heart because we have met France, Bulgaria, Italy, many other teams and we played the same. We play our football. It's creative enough and it's technical enough. Maybe Spain have one or two more creative players, but football is not only about creative players. Today, football is about balance on the pitch and strength with attitude and also luck. We have attitude, mentality, commitment, technical ability. We don't make bets, but I think we can win. Why not?"(Yahoo)
Spain's key player: Andrés Iniesta Luján. Spain's most impressive player in the last match and the man who looked most likely to cause the Italian defence problems. Expect Iniesta to drift into pockets of space in front of the Ireland defence and be a massive danger with the ball at this feet.
Ireland's Player to Watch: Robbie Keane. Ireland's talisman may be getting on in years now but he will need to come out of his shell if he is pose a threat to Spain. Keane was ineffective against Croatia so he must aim to provide more movement in the box and link up better with strike partner, Kevin Doyle.

Spain vs Ireland Euro 2012 Prediction
Spain go into this match as massive favourites to take three points and Ireland will make it all too easy if they defend in the same manner as they did against Croatia. The high tempo movement in the penalty area by the Spain attackers will prove too much for the Irish so expect a comfortable victory for Vicente Del Bosque's side. Giovanni Trapattoni's rigid formation and the likely negative play from the Republic of Ireland are probably the only factors that will keep the score respectable. (Goal.com)
