Will you watch Ireland play Hungary on Sunday?
Last night’s win means there is still some hope of qualifying for next year’s World Cup.
LAST NIGHT SAW a famous win for the Republic of Ireland team as they managed to stun Portugal – and plenty of their own supporters.
It was a big victory for manager Heimir Hallgrímsson and marked a major turnaround for the team’s fortunes after some difficult years.
Crucially, it also keeps our slim hopes of qualifying for next year’s World Cup alive.
We now need a win away to Hungary who we play at 2pm Sunday. There are complications to exactly how many goals we might need to win by, but let’s not get into that right now.
So today we’re asking – as we seek to keep the good mood alive – will you be watching Ireland play Hungary on Sunday?
