If Ireland can get to the play-off final, I'd give them a 90 per cent chance of qualifying' Terry Phelan on Ireland's World Cup play-off hopes
"Terry Phelan believes that after a slow start, manager Hallgrimsson can start to build momentum. He states, 'He'll be a national hero if they qualify.'"
"Phelan asserts, 'I think they can win both games, I can't see the teams they'd have to face beating us, they're not as good as Ireland on our day.'"
The Republic of Ireland is on the verge of ending a 24-year World Cup absence, facing the Czech Republic in a play-off semi-final. After a rocky start to the 2026 qualification, Heimir Hallgrimsson's team has turned their fortunes around. Success against the Czech Republic would lead to a final match against either Denmark or North Macedonia. Former player Terry Phelan expresses confidence in Hallgrimsson's ability to guide the team to victory, believing they can win both upcoming matches.
