There is no understating the importance of Slovakia’s match with Northern Ireland on Thursday.
Ninety minutes separate Slovakia from the 2020 UEFA European Championships and Real Salt Lake midfielder Albert Rusnàk is eager to take the field in a match being hyped throughout the country.
“The talks already back home is that it’s the biggest game of the century,” Rusnàk said. “It’s huge. For the people, for the players, for the whole nation, to be honest. I think the whole country will be watching. It’s a big job to do, but it’s something doable. There’s too much on the line.
