Heimir Hallgrimsson: England want to win World Cup, Ireland just to get there

Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson says England’s appointment of Thomas Tuchel with the mission of winning the World Cup shows the difference between the two teams.

Hallgrimsson brings his side to Wembley to conclude their Nations League group stage on Sunday, knowing they are guaranteed to finish third in League B Group 2 and therefore set for a two-legged play-off against a second-placed team from League C in March.

They will then begin their quest to qualify for a first World Cup since 2002 in the summer.
