Duff issues rallying call to team-mates
After beating Paraguay 2-1 at the RDS, Duff and his colleagues are now hoping to add the Algerians’ scalp at the same venue tomorrow evening, a game which will be watched by Fabio Capello’s assistant Franco Baldini as the England management team use the opportunity to run the rule over their World Cup Group C opponents.
There’s no South African adventure for the Irish to look forward to, of course, but Duff reckons that this week’s games are all about developing momentum to take through August’s friendly against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium and on into the European Championship qualifiers the following month,.
