Michael O'Neill: Teams will want to avoid Northern Ireland in World Cup play-off

Northern Ireland have all but confirmed they will have a play-off to get to the World Cup next summer and boss Michael O'Neill reckons nobody will want to meet his side in November.

A 2-0 victory over Czech Republic in Belfast was delivered thanks to first-half goals from West Brom's Jonny Evans and Chris Brunt, with three points enough to guarantee second spot in Group C and virtually assure them of one of the eight play-off spots that are available.
