Welcome to the Balls.ie Italia 90 liveblog!
It's finally here, Ireland's first ever game in the World Cup and as if it couldn't mean any more; it's against the old enemy.
We're here to take you through the game and get behind Jackie's army on our way to win the World Cup. The game will kick off at 8 pm in the Stadio Sant'Eia in Calgiari, and until then check the video above for the last time Ireland played England two years ago at Euro '88.
