"Swiss will be 'Keane' to impress" says Robbie

Ireland met Switzerland in the qualifiers to Euro 2004 and came out losers on both occasions, firstly a 2-1 defeat in Dublin followed by a 2-0 loss in that crucial group decider in Basle.


The Tallaght born striker told Tottenham Hotspurs' official website: "They are a tough side and did well against us in the two games - it is going to be a difficult game for England."

"When you are playing in championship games - I don´t care what anybody says - in that environment there are no easy games."

Keane and his Irish colleagues will face the Swiss once again inthe World Cup 2006 qualifiers which begin in September.
