Keane: We can't afford to lose

Robbie Keane will lead an all-out assault on Sweden as the Republic of Ireland attempt to make a decisive breakthrough in their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Manager Giovanni Trapattoni has set his sights on four points from Friday's clash with the Swedes at the Aviva Stadium and Tuesday's trip to Vienna to give his side a firm foothold in the race for the runners-up spot in Group C.
