It’s all come down to 90 minutes

THE Republic of Ireland are now 90 minutes away from the World Cup finals. The Republic of Ireland are also 90 minutes away from the playoffs for the World Cup finals.

And the Republic of Ireland are 90 minutes away from failure to qualify for the World Cup finals.

As many suspected right from the outset of this campaign, it has all come down to the game against Switzerland at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday night. And Ireland will have to beat the Swiss without the help of Roy Keane and, now, Damien Duff.
