Domenech: Ireland tough but predictable

FRANCE coach Raymond Domenech has described the Republic of Ireland as “predictable” after Thierry Henry’s strike proved deadly in Dublin.

But he also issued a warning to any French players who believe the hard work has been done in their mission to reach the World Cup finals.

His players are now level on points with Switzerland at the top of group four, but second on goal difference, and they face the Swiss next month in Berne, before finishing their qualifying campaign against Cyprus.
