Heimir Hallgrimsson believes the draw for the World Cup 2026 was relatively positive for Ireland, indicating no runaway winners are likely, which increases qualification chances.
Hallgrimsson noted, "I think it's a group that definitely teams will take points from each other... makes it more possible to qualify." He expressed neutral sentiments regarding the draw's potential.
Regarding Portugal and Denmark, he commented, "Both these teams play similar types of football. Both possession teams... Portugal has better individuals, but Denmark has a good collective team."
Hallgrimsson preferred the structured qualifiers, saying, "The most important thing for us was to be in a group of four teams... It comes quick. It finishes in three months."
