Pilkington: We have 'great chance' of qualifying for Brazil

He might not have hooked up with his international teammates yet, but new boy in green Anthony Pilkington believes Ireland have a ‘great chance’ of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup despite a less than promising start to the campaign.

Pilkington, who received his Irish passport yesterday ahead of his imminent debut against Poland next Wednesday evening at the Aviva Stadium, believes the influx of new faces, including Norwich City teammate Wes Hoolahan, can help them over the line.
