Troy Parrott Laments Missed Opportunities as Ireland Held to Goalless Draw by North Macedonia

Republic of Ireland’s Troy Parrott expressed deep disappointment over his finishing, stating he “wasn’t good enough in front of goal” during their goalless friendly with North Macedonia. Despite a disallowed goal and hitting the post, the striker took responsibility for failing to convert opportunities, which also prevented him from matching Robbie Keane’s scoring record. Parrott, however, was heartened by the strong fan turnout and the team’s renewed connection with their supporters.
