Contrasting Fortunes For Home Countries In World Cup Qualifiers.

Disaster for the Republic of Ireland in their World Cup qualifier last night.

They went down 1-0 at home to group leaders Serbia who finished the match with only 10 men.

The Serbs certainly have the Indian sign over their opponents - this was their fifth match in a row against the Irish without defeat.

Wales kept their qualification hopes alive with two late goals in Moldova.
