Robbie using winter loan to get in perfect shape for summer

ROBBIE KEANE hopes to be at the top of his game for Euro 2012 after a Premier League loan spell at Aston Villa and more MLS football with Los Angeles Galaxy.

This could be Keane’s last opportunity to play for Ireland in a major competition and he cannot wait to get on the plane to Poland even if they must compete with Spain, Italy and Croatia once they get there.

“It looks like an easy group, we always wanted to get Spain!” Keane joked. “It is a tough group but we know the history of Ireland and we are always good when we are underdogs. I am sure we will go there and give a good account of ourselves.”
