Il Trap Makes Plans for Croatia


Giovanni Trapattoni announced on Friday a provisional 32 man selection from which a squad will be chosen to face Croatia on August 10. 

Making the announcement at the FAI AGM Festival of Football in Co. Clare, the Republic of Ireland manager said, "Following on from our last successful trip with four wins behind us, this game will be an important decider ahead of our next EURO 2012 qualifier game versus Slovakia on September 2. Many players will be given the opportunity to shine against a very strong opposition. Croatia are currently ranked 8th in FIFA's World Rankings, and will undoubtedly be a tough match for us."
