Former Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane says anyone who thinks Ireland have no chance at Euro 2016 is "ill informed".
Having watched Ireland's opponents Italy, Sweden and Belgium over the qualification campaign, Kilbane reckons the group is not as difficult as Ireland's doomed 2012 tournament - when Giovanni Trapattoni's team didn't win a match.
Speaking to 98FM's Now That's What I Call Sport, the ex-Everton and Wigan player said spots in Martin O'Neill's final 23 man squad will be hard to come by, but the majority of the squad almost picks itself.
Kevin also discussed the selection issues facing O'Neill, why Louis Van Gaal may not last at Manchester United until the end of the season and why players need to be very careful when Tweeting.
Kevin Kilbane was speaking at the AVIVA FAI Junior Cup 1/4 final draw, video thanks to Ed Scannell.
