Dare to Dream, the motto for North Ireland



Dreams are what give life its all-round essence and for the Norn Iron, dreaming of another major event is something within their reach and aims.

After their amazing presentation and one of a kind performance in the past Euros, the Boys in Green and White are determined for the impossible of feats and looking forward to score another success in the Michael O’ Neill era.

With group C in full play, 26 March will be an important date from the northern part of the Emerald Isle and going against a discreet Norway national squad, playing as a local.

As Windsor Park in the background and a whole nation behind the second placeholders in their group, the Norn Iron is up and ready to start something serious and spectacular in this World Cup qualifiers.

This group is hungry, ambitious, and looking forward to a second round play, seals the deal with a pass as a European representative to Russia 2018, and continues making history under the mandate Michael O’ Neill.

So far, with Germany in the lead of group C and Northern Ireland trailing by just five points anything can happen, but for now, second place is a good spot to advance into the next rounds and there demonstrate their mettle.

That is the utmost goal of Manager Michael O’ Neill.

Showing off the readiness and new faces, the Green and White bunch is already complete as its Manager already trimmed his roster and with returning players as well new faces that can make their debut and maybe the difference.

Leaving several players out due to injuries and suspensions, new players is the highlight of the recent call up by the Norn Iron Boss O’ Neill.

As key players in the off list as Paddy Mc Nair- knee, keeper Trevor Carson and striker Billy Mc Kay- groin and Will Grigg- knee are the list of absents but that opened the doors to other players already recovered and poised for the challenge.

Very well with the suspension of Shane Ferguson comes the call up for Oldham Ryan Mc Laughlin, Corry Evans from Blackburn, and Craig Carthcart from Watford and 39 year old veteran keeper from Linfield Roy Carroll.

Another highlight of the Green and White Army will be its defensive backfield composed by a foursome from the English Premier League in Jonny Evans and Gareth Mc Auley from West Brom, Watford’s Craig Carthcart to make up his threesome. 

The list of 24 for the Norn Iron is complete with players from English Premiership and Championship, Scottish Premiership and North Ireland Premiership.

At the end, the North Ireland squads is up, ready to net three points of gold from the Norwegians, and ready themselves to their next match at Baku, and face a renewed Azerbaijani squad on June 10.

No surprise if this squad delivers a key win and with the support of its faithful at the colossus of Belfast to deliver a win and continue adding points in their favor, if they would like to make the trek to Russia 2018.
