Brian Kerr expects to see Mick McCarthy leading Ireland to the expanded Euro Finals in 2020, especially if tomorrow’s draw in Dublin offers the hosts one of the morefavourable groups. “With the second lot of teams, if you’re picking it today based on the Nations League, you’d pick Iceland. “Of course he had, but I don’t think the quality of the players rules out being competitive in a group,” he says. A lot of those countries would be delighted to have players playing in the Championship but they’re not good enough. All of us know Stephen, have seen his progress and seen how his teams have played.
