Brian Kerr: Nearly a Euros place for everyone in the audience

Brian Kerr expects to see Mick McCarthy leading Ireland to the expanded Euro Finals in 2020, especially if tomorrow’s draw in Dublin offers the hosts one of the more favourable groups.

“You could end up with a fairly handy group that you should be able to come first or second in, even as a third seed,” he says. “Look at the first seeds and, if you had a choice, you’d take either Switzerland or Poland. Even though Mick and I don’t have great memories of Switzerland — Mick said that to me recently.
