The Republic of Ireland’s next fixture is a friendly at home to Switzerland on March 25th, Good Friday, and we think we’ve found the perfect warm-up.

Martin O’Neill’s men have all returned to their clubs and will not meet up as a group again until Easter week, so what better way to reignite that camaraderie we saw last night in the Aviva than by undertaking the keepy-up bin challenge.

James Rodriguez and his Colombia team-mates showed how it was done ahead of tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Argentina in Barranquilla.

Without Lionel Messi, Argentina face an uphill battle to get their qualifying campaign back on track. With just two points from three games, last year’s World Cup finalists are second bottom of the 10-team South American group, seven points behind leaders Ecuador.

If Colombia replicate these skills on their Caribbean coast tonight, Argentina could be in more bother.

Elsewhere in South American qualifying later today, leaders Ecuador are away to Venezuela, Uruguay host Chile, Bolivia travel to Paraguay and Brazil welcome Peru.
