THE GAME WAS only a few minutes old, but it already had the look of one that Stefan Effenberg wasn’t going to enjoy.
A pass that was bound for a team-mate was sent askew by a divot in the playing surface, emitting sarcastic applause from the home supporters.
“Stick to the tennis, Edberg!” recommended one of them.

On the sand dunes near Tramore Beach in Dunfanaghy, the seeds of Donegal s first All-Ireland SFC victory in 20 years were sown.
Jim McGuinness was the mastermind behind the Tir Chonaill s last Sam Maguire Cup triumph in 2012. He also led the county to three Ulster SFC titles during his four-year reign.
The Glenties man joined host Ryan Tubridy on last night s RTÉ Late Late Show Pieta Darkness into Light Special to discuss his switch from gaelic football to soccer and his personal journey.
Speaking of his daunting winter training sessions on the sands of Tramore, McGuinness believes that it was there where the foundations for the success were laid.

Former Roscommon manager Kevin McStay says his money is on Kerry to end Dublin’s reign and capture the Sam Maguire Cup this year.
The Mayo native doesn’t feel the Dubs improved last year despite claiming a sixth All-Ireland title in-a-row and, speaking to Midwest Radio, he said he doesn’t expect Kerry to be caught out this year like they were last November by a late Mark Keane goal in the Munster semi-finals against Cork.
“From this position, my money would absolutely be on Kerry to win the All-Ireland. There’s a lot of football to be played but look what happened last year – Kerry are the Galway of Munster, they ended up with nothing, McStay pointed out.
