Bale's the big threat

Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman at Thursday’s press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game against Wales at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin (kickoff local time, 7:45; EST 3:45 p.m.). The Republic currently lead World Cup Qualifying European Region Group D with 10 points (after four games played), while Serbia is second with eight, and Wales third with six. Serbia will visit Georgia, while Austrian host last-placed Moldova. Assistant Manager Roy Keane has denied that Ireland would be content to settle for a point rather than three points against the Welsh, who are welcoming the return of Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale to their lineup. “We’re here to win,” Keane said.
