THE CLICHÉ TELLS us there are no easy games in international football but, with Moldova scoring just four times — conceding 20 — and managing two points in their eight games to date, that is demonstrably untrue.

So Ireland should get the three points on Friday but, thanks to the convoluted qualifying system, they may not actually count for anything. That’s because, when it comes to qualifying for the play-offs, results against the bottom team in a group are discounted.

That means Martin O’Neill’s men will not only need to beat Moldova and Wales, but hope that others slip up too.

If you think Ireland can do it, why not have a flutter here.
