Italy already basically guaranteed top. Italians only tend to do what's necessary and not much more. I think Ireland will have a terrific chance of getting a result against them if they did manage a draw against Belgium today.
I don't personally. I think they have to go for it here.

Don't think so either 3 draws will probably be enough.

Agree when Italy don't have anything at stake they don't care

If they go for it and lose fair chance they will be bottom of group

At least the manager saw sense and left out Fellani for Dembele.

But that's the thing, if they try to play for a draw here, I think they will lose. Too much quality in the Belgian squad.

Belgium showing good attacking intent, Ireland being very firm and resolute in defence. Match already has a good feel to it.

Lukaku is lucky to be starting this game, he was pretty rubbish against Italy.

Ireland look poor so far but this is a big step in class from Sweden

Not really anyone of a decent standard.

I suppose they could try De Bruyne up top.

Supposedly Batshuayi is a good player

Origi plays for Liverpool and looked a threat when he played; albeit very inconsistent

De Bruyne clearly back on his game - terrific player.

It is very easy to forget about him, his club manager certainly has on a fair few occasions!

Hazard blazes it!

Terrific ball in by De Bruyne.

There is Fellaini as well that they could bring on, if they wanted a better headerer of the ball.

Doing what he did for most of the previous season with Chelsea, the previous season's Hazard would have buried that chance.

Snatched by Hazard, should have done better.

Traditionally you always think of republic being better than Northern Ireland but I am not so sure anymore

Ireland have got to be careful, they're having too many scares at the moment.

There have been one or two strong fouls but it's not especially dirty.
