Stephen Ward on Italy challenge: 'We believe we can go and get a result'

Ward insists there's no chance of the Ireland squad going into the final Group E clash in downbeat mood.

The League of Ireland was in the spotlight for good reason last week, when the FAI organised a photoshoot at Versailles of the eight ex-League players in the Euro 2016 squad, writes Ciarán Ó Raghallaigh.

Shane Long, Wes Hoolahan, Seamus Coleman, James McClean, Daryl Murphy, Stephen Quinn, David Meyler and Stephen Ward all wore their old club colours – a nod to the role they played in the development of the internationals.
