The North Macedonia leaving Skopje to head for Dublin today
Ireland’s opponents in Tuesday’s unwanted friendly, North Macedonia, will travel to Dublin with a cloud over their camp as injury and walkouts – including the retirement of their leading scorer – have reduced their options.
The Macedonians play away to Ireland as a consequence of losing their World Cup play-off semi-final away to Denmark but enthusiasm in their camp is low for their first visit to Dublin since 2011. “This can simply be described as the most unimportant match in the history of the national football team,” the sportmanija.mk website said.
