Gibraltar boss Allen Bula insists Brazil should also be classed as minnows if his newcomers to the big stage are to carry that tag. UEFA's 54th full member nation will contest its second competitive game against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Saturday evening having been trounced 7-0 by Poland in its first Euro 2016 qualifier last month. However, Bula bristles as the minnow tag despite his country boasting a population of less than 30,000 people and just 600 registered footballers, and used World Cup hosts Brazil's semi-final horror show against Germany to support his case. Gibraltar prepare for Republic of Ireland tie at Aviva Stadium, Dublin on Friday
