THE SUB ZERO temperatures of Stockholm’s Friends Arena is the venue for Ireland’s World Cup qualifier tonight.
Giovanni Trapattoni’s team take on the Scandinavians then host Austria at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday as they bid to earn a place-off place for Brazil 2014.
Avoiding defeat is essential to keep our hopes alive and while two wins is a bit much to expect, Ireland should be aiming for four points to put themselves in position to finish runner-up.
So how do you think they will fare in the two games?

I’m not the biggest fan of Trapp, but anyone hoping we lose is quite obviously a cretin. The assumption that we’re the greatest fans in the world must be one of the greatest myths going.
no option for 3 points?
lose tonight win on Tuesday , 3pts
3pts seems most likely tbh
None hopefully and then trap can f..k off back to Italy with him self.
Such a low key build up! Didnt even realise game was on tonight till last Monday! No one gives a jolt anymore
No enough players that are household names any more ,

1 point! A hammering tonight! Draw Wednesday night! Then traps head !
4 points, lucky draw tonight and a win for the next game…
1 point at home vs Austria
Score line from these 2 upcoming matches will resemble Ireland’s entry into the Eurovision 0 points as was shown in an old Father Ted episode piss take the Eurovision Song Contest null points 0.
