Both the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland failed to qualify for the World Cup in 1978. Northern Ireland were no match for World Cup Finalists Holland, meanwhile the Republic of Ireland fell to Michel Platini & France. With the wealth of talent the two teams contained, one can't help but wonder what they could have accomplished if Ireland were united.

Netherlands 2 - 2 N. Ireland (Rotterdam)
Belgium 2 - 0 N. Ireland (Liège)
Iceland 1 - 0 N. Ireland (Reykjavík)
N. Ireland 2 - 0 Iceland (Belfast)
N. Ireland 0 - 1 Netherlands (Belfast)

3. N. Ireland 5 pts
4. Iceland 2 pts

Europe Group 5
France 2 - 0 Ireland (Paris)
