The Republic of Ireland first surprisingly got the first hat before the draw, and then got the weakest possible opponent of all the disadvantaged teams - if the Irish want to get to the Euros, they have to prove that they are better than Estonia, the biggest sensation in the qualifications. "The most important thing is that the first the match is away from home. The opponent? You can't underestimate anyone in the playoffs, not even the Estonians. As soon as they reached the playoffs, it means they have quality and are mentally strong," said Giovani Trapatoni. Ireland has not played at the European Championship since 1988. , and the last time they played in a major competition was in 2002. Estonia, on the other hand, has never played in a major competition.

"We are still dreaming. I am sure we have a chance," said Konstantin Vasiljev, Amkar midfielder.
