E' l'Irlanda, anche se per la "distanza" da qui sembra il pianeta di un'altra galassia...

Robbie Keane today delivered a simple message to the Republic of Ireland's emerging crop of youngsters: 'Go and enjoy yourselves'.
Reading striker Shane Long makes his debut against San Marino in tonight's European Championship qualifier at the Serravalle Stadium, partnering captain Keane in attack.
Another six potential debutants in Stephen Hunt, Darron Gibson, Stephen Quinn, Anthony Stokes, Andy Keogh and Darren Randolph will be anxiously wondering if they are on the bench.
Keane has been impressed by what he has seen from the young boys in green, who almost upstaged their more experienced counterparts in a 10-a-side training match at the ground yesterday, and is happy to offer advice as and when it is needed.
He said: 'With the young players coming in, you see things and try to help them as much as you can. I've spoken to Shane, told him a few things and he took them on board, so hopefully things will work out between us.'
