15'
Larsson is allowing Brady plenty of space down the left side of the pitch. Of course, Brady used to be a winger, now playing as a full-back. This is something he has in his game.
14'
Ireland appear to have finally settled into this game now. Although they are still looking to play long over the top quite frequently. Long for Long, you could say. Something they're persisting with.
13'
RANDOLPH SMOTHERS! Berg peeled away from his marker to take down a ball on the chest, but the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper was off his line quickly to dive at the feet of the striker.
12'
11'
HENDRICK HAS A SHOT SAVED! That was Ireland's first real chance of the match. Walters knocked down for Hendricks, but his drive at goal is saved by Isaksson. Good effort.
10'
Randolph has the ball in his hands for the first time in the match. Olsson got down the left side and attempted to swing a cross into he box, it was far too close to the Ireland goalkeeper.
9'
8'
Neither side has really taken a grip of this contest early on. It's quite scrappy and there has been a lot of long balls played over the top. Surely it will settle down at some stage?
7'
There were concerns over Walters' fitness heading into this game, but the Stoke City attacker has recovered in time from an Achilles injury and has made the starting lineup.
6'
5'
The freekick is swung into the Swedish penalty area, but the defending is strong and the ball is cleared. Ireland need to make the most of the set piece opportunities they have.
4'
Ireland have won an early freekick. Brady was brought down by Larsson as he turned back to cross into the box. This is a chance for O'Neill's side to create an opportunity, here.
3'
2'
So it's a supposed one man team against a team unit. Ireland might not have anyone like Ibrahimovic to call upon, but they have a spirit that few teams can match at these championships.
1'
The match is under way at the Stade de France in Paris! It's Republic of Ireland against Sweden.

The two teams are out for the national anthems. The Irish one is rather Irish, considering it builds to a crescendo of 'IREEELAND, IREEELAND.' Must have taken ages to come up with those lyrics.
16:50
16:45
Ibrahimovic is actually without a goal in his last three games against Republic of Ireland. They have been something of a bogey team for him, but he keeps his best displays for the big occasion.
16:40
Four years ago Republic of Ireland were really poor at the European Championships. They are expecting much, much better this time around. They are targeting the last 16 in 2016.
