[QUOTE="jomjom, post: 769821, member: 73037"] And even then, a good chunk of us were not exactly confident. I know for sure that myself and my mates definitely weren't. Many had belief that we [I]could[/I], and therefore not entirely implausible that we would win, but I don't know a single person who thought that Ireland would trounce Argentina - from fans, to journalists, to the team and Schmidt himself. I'm pretty sure it's only Argentinians and the odd Kiwi who thinks that the Irish thought we would walk over Argentina :) As soon as that France match finished I knew it was going to be so difficult, and I felt a little awkward seeing how some Irish people were celebrating that victory - all we did was top a pool full of average teams... Honestly, I hope we meet Argentina again in 2019! At this point they're as good a rival as Wales. [/QUOTE]
