Sept 06: The Republic of Ireland's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2004 are hanging in the balance after they drew 1-1 with Russia in Dublin on Saturday.
The Irish remain second in Group 10 but are likely to have to beat leaders Switzerland in their final match on 11 October to have any chance of making the finals in Portugal next summer.

Switzerland have a point more than Ireland and Russia three points fewer - but both teams have two more games to play rather than the Republic's one.
A piece of magic from Damien Duff put Ireland ahead in the 35th minute at Lansdowne Road but the Russians equalised before half-time and held on with a degree of comfort to claim the draw.
The result was not the only piece of bad news for the Irish - Kenny Cunningham will miss the game in Switzerland after picking up a yellow card and left-back John O'Shea limped off early in the first half with a knee injury.
The Russians had shackled Ireland effectively for much of the first half and the visitors had fashioned the more convincing chances.
And the introduction of Steven Reid for Lee Carsley at half-time made little difference and the Russians seemed capable of countering any threat.
Kilbane, who had looked lively throughout, produced a driving run at the heart of the Russian defence in the 64th minute but was fouled by Ignashevich, who picked up a yellow card. Bureau Report
