Staunton: Under pressure after failing to qualify
Steve Staunton’s reign as Republic of Ireland manager is under scrutiny after the Football Association of Ireland confirmed an emergency board meeting will be held this week.
One by one, the Eagles trudged from the locker room, down the hall, through a rotunda and into the auditorium for a rare Monday team meeting.

Quotes of the week
In another installment in its “Gary’s Quest” series, Washington Times reporter Mike Jones writes that there are issues between Gary Russell, Jr. and the Olympic way of doing things.
Jones reports that Russell has dealt with homesickness as well as some nagging injuries as Russell and the rest of the US Olympic Team get ready for the AIBA World Championships that start today in Chicago.
So it has come to this; requiring favours from Israel or Macedonia with home advantage but little else in their favour in the penultimate round of European Championship qualifying matches next month.
