Breen and Ireland do their homework

GARY BREEN yesterday highlighted the importance of video evidence had become in Ireland’s preparations for matches under Brian Kerr.

The video file has suddenly assumed a major role in tactics and analysis. Breen, who was again in sparkling form for Ireland in the 2-1 win over Georgia, said in Tirana yesterday: "You'd be very arrogant and naive to think you could just turn up not knowing anything about the opposition, and play well against them.

It is very important to do your homework and we have done plenty of that on this trip."
