England need a win over Ireland to top Group B of League B of the Nations League, with Irish manager Heimir Hallgrimsson however urging his players to perform at Wembley as they did against Greece and Finland. .

Victory over Finland a few 24 hours ago allowed Ireland to avoid automatic relegation to League C of the Nations League, but that doesn’t mean the Irish will be going… tourism to London on Sunday (17/11).

On the contrary, the match against England – which is burning for the three points – is a challenge for them, which was made clear by their coach, Heimir Hallgrimsson.

“We are coming from a win on Thursday and we have nothing to lose. We will try to play like we did in the second half of the match against Greece and Finland.

“I’ve never played at Wembley but it’s always an honor to play in places like Wembley. It’s always an honor to face the best teams in the world and England is one of them.”the 57-year-old Icelander pointed out, to add:

“When you play against the best, that helps you progress. You’re up against the biggest talents in football and they’re ready to expose your weaknesses.”
