I’ve got some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that Ireland will need a minor miracle to qualify from the World Cup play-offs. The good news is that they worked a major miracle to get here.
Thursday’s draw leaves Ireland’s fate in their own hands. If the team plays as well as they did in the last two games, they can make it to the USA.
