"There’s absolutely nothing going on in my head at the minute. It’s probably the best feeling I have ever had. "I had Covid before the last camp, and it knocked me out of that. I've barely played a minute, and then to come on tonight and get a goal, it’s unbelievable. In such a big game for the qualifiers as well. It’s an amazing moment."[caption id="attachment_241049" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

"We knew, going into the group, what we needed. You look at the group and people would probably go, Italy and Sweden, they are the two best teams, but there’s no reason we’re not better than them. We played Italy the other night, a tight game, and probably a bit unfortunate not to come away with a 1-1. "And to come tonight against Sweden, you play 90 minutes, and you think, there’s no reason for us to have any fear, because we're Ireland. We can be better than these teams. It's lovely to beat them."https://twitter.com/RTEsoccer/status/1460715671680176133 Asked what the best moment of the night was, O'Neill joked, "The goal, obviously!" "No, the three points," he added. "It keeps us alive. It gives us the incentive in March, and the next round of qualifiers. If we can pull off results like this, we can pull off more of them. So, brilliant."
