TEAMS: Republic of Ireland

The Republic Of Ireland made the World Cup after beating Iran in a tense two-legged play-off. Qualification was thoroughly deserved after Ireland were again drawn in a tough qualifying group along with the world heavyweights Portugal and Holland. It is a tribute to the Irish that they were unbeaten in the group and only missed out on automatic qualification on goal difference.

Despite the loss of Roy Keane, the Republic of Ireland have what it takes to be a success at the World Cup and maybe repeat the memorable quarter-final heroics of Italia 90.
