Wilkinson seeks to play football rather than the ‘tennis’ match that broke out in Cardiff first leg
The former Canadian international is not a fan of Ireland’s style of play – or lack thereof – under Eileen Gleeson.
The zingers kept coming: “We matched their energy, and we get on the ball more and play, but what Ireland does is Eileen’s problem.” “I don’t feel like it’s on our shoulders, it is in our soul, this is our home,” said Gleeson. “We love playing in the Aviva. We love the crowd. It is magical.” In terms of income for the debt-ridden FAI, qualification to the Euros is believed to be worth €1.8 million, which would include €600,000 for expenses around Switzerland 2025 and a similar direct payment to players.For Euro 2022 in England, Uefa distributed €16 million for a 16-team tournament which pales in comparison to the €331 million divided among 24 nations at the men’s tournament in Germany.
