"Heimir Hallgrimsson says that tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Portugal will probably be the biggest match of his reign, but admits it could be dictated by events in the other group match in Yerevan beforehand."
"The Boys in Green take on a star-studded Portugal side at a sold-out Landsdowne Road, with the Nations League champions needing just a point to all but top the group and secure automatic qualification to next summer's finals in North America."
Tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Portugal will probably be the biggest match of his reign, though events in the other group match in Yerevan beforehand could dictate its importance. The Boys in Green will face a star-studded Portugal side at a sold-out Lansdowne Road. The Nations League champions need just a point to all but top the group and secure automatic qualification for next summer's World Cup finals in North America. A draw or better for Portugal would nearly guarantee their place, while a different Yerevan result could alter the stakes for the Ireland-Portugal fixture.
