Has there ever been a more successfuly campaign at senior level on the international stage?
Five wins from five with one game remaining, it has been a remarkable run of games for Eileen Gleeson's side.Coming off the back of the chaos of the World Cup exit and loss of head coach Vera Pauw, the Ireland team were expected to hit the ground running in September as the Nations League kicked off.All the hard work to qualify for the summer's World Cup might have been lost had Ireland struggled in their group, however, they have continued to push forward and have done so in style with several comprehensive victories en route to winning every game thus far in their campaign.Gleeson's side had their group won with two games to spare and have already guaranteed a place in League A thanks to that particular accolade, and they will now look to continue that winning mentality and maintain momentum with a win in Belfast against a team that they easily accounted for at the Aviva Stadium in September.Irrespective of the quality of opposition in their League B group, this Ireland team have got the job done with minimum fuss and put themselves in a great position heading into next year's Euro 2025 qualifying campaign. Goodbye Gleeson? Eileen Gleeson has done her best to stay out of the spotlight throughout her role as interim head coach of this Ireland team.
