We’re not green says Ward

JAMIE WARD predicts Northern Ireland’s qualification experience will pay dividends in their quest to reach the World Cup finals.

Sunday’s 2-0 win over Norway kept Michael O’Neill’s team second in Group C and on course for a place in the play-offs. The Czech Republic are the biggest threat to their ambitions. “We have been in this position before with the Euros so we have the experience of dealing with these type of pressurised games,” said Ward, left.

“We are extremely confident going into every game and are not worried about what the other teams do.”
