Ireland face tough test to qualify despite historic win


DUBLIN (Reuters) - Beating world champions Germany at home for the first time in almost 60 years on Thursday may have won coach Martin O'Neill a place in Ireland's sporting history, but his team are still yet to secure a place at Euro 2016.

Despite the 70th-minute wonder goal from Shane Long that won the game against the run of play, O'Neill's team will need a win or a high-scoring draw against Poland in Warsaw on Sunday to qualify, should leaders Germany pick up a point against Georgia in their final outing.
