Ivan is fed up with people hoping and believing that the Republic of Ireland national football team is better than it actually is.

Following Tuesday night's comfortable 2-0 win for the Swiss in Geneva over Mick McCarthy's men, Ivan doesn't know what else we'd expect, seen as football is not the national sport, and we've been 'crap' for years.
