🎥 Irish madness: Chaos at the airport and wild scenes in the dressing room | OneFootball

The World Cup dream seemed already shattered, but Ireland’s new football hero Troy Parrott had other ideas. His last-minute winning goal keeps the ‘Boys in Green’ hopes alive. 

At the airport in Ireland’s capital Dublin, the goal in the 96th minute was received like this...

Some travelers are surely willing to risk missing their flight for this. The same could happen to the national players if they celebrate their victory in the locker room for much longer and end up starting their return journey from Hungary late. 

After the celebrations on the pitch, Parrott’s last-minute goal was played on repeat in the locker room. 

The group draw for next year’s World Cup will take place on December 5. But to be there, Ireland still has to get through the playoffs. 

The final playoff draw will take place on November 20, 2025—immediately after the last qualification matches. Then it will be clear which matchups await in March (March 23 to 31, 2026), when Europe seeks its last four World Cup participants.
