Ireland look to Big Ron in Rio

IRELAND’S World Cup 2014 destiny will be partly in the hands of Ronaldo this evening.

That’s the Brazilian Ronaldo, of course, the striker they called ‘O Fenomeno’.

The now larger than life legend will assist rising star Paulo Henrique Ganso in taking care of the European section of this evening’s draw, which will take place at approximately 8.15pm Irish time, an hour and a quarter into full proceedings at the Marinia da Gloria in Rio.
