2016 - 41: MOTD Live - Republic of Ireland v Sweden

Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the Euro 2016 group match between the Republic of Ireland and Sweden at the Stade de France.

The Republic of Ireland are taking part in their third European Championship campaign, and will be hopeful of winning only their second ever finals match – the last was a famous victory against England at Euro '88.

Like the Irish, Sweden had to come through the play-offs to qualify for this tournament, with the goals of brilliant striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic proving decisive. With tricky games against Belgium and Italy to come in the group stage, both sides will be desperate to get off to a winning start. Alan Shearer and Kevin Kilbane provide studio analysis, with commentary from Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson.
