Doyle looking to Africa
Wolverhampton Wanderers, 09:41, November 10, 2009 ,
Wolves striker Kevin Doyle is fully focused on the the Republic of Ireland's World Cup play-off and believes they can win.
The striker says he was not overly concerned when the draw saw the Irish paired up against France and he is looking forward to the double header.
Doyle will play against centre-backs William Gallas and Eric Abidal plus other French stars such as Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka and Lassana Diarra in a first keg at home on Saturday before going to Paris next Wednesday.
"We're feeling confident we can win although other people will feel we don't have much chance," said Doyle.
"There's a reason why they are in the play-off draw because they haven't done well in their group.
"I like to play against the top teams and the best players
"We drew with Italy twice (in the group) and we could have easily beaten them.
"I've just gone 26 and I don't know if I'll get another chance to get to a World Cup finals in four years
"They are the world champions and we can do the same against France.
"I've played against bigger teams all my life and got results against them. I don't fear them. I'm looking forward to it."
