Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Republic of Ireland’s game against Slovenia in the Nations League League B Group 2. The Slovenian gave the Irish team a humiliation away from home and now it’s a chance for revenge for Carla Ward’s side. But as a consequence of that heavy loss in Ward’s second game at the helm, Ireland require a five-goal victory over Slovenia tonight to achieve automatic promotion to League A.

Antonio Garcia, Maria Martínez i José López. Tres noms i cognoms que es repeteixen per milers a Catalunya i que són, de fet, els més freqüents al país, segons les dades de l'Idescat relatives a l'any 2024. Segons la dita, de Joseps, Joans i ases, n'hi ha per totes les cases, tot i que a la Catalunya actual els Antonio (85.593) i les Maria (84.803) --i la variant castellana María-- els prenen la davantera.

What’s the story with Euro 2028 qualifying then? Ireland will not be guaranteed a place at the 2028 European Championships, despite being a host nation, but the odds are still in our favour with Uefa holding spots for the two highest-ranked of the four co-hosts – England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland – who don’t qualify automatically. Northern Ireland are no longer considered a host nation. I thought we were guaranteed after Casement did not get over the line?

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, from Bilbao. Kick-off is at 8pm. There is a lot at stake here, with not only a trophy, which would be Spurs’s first since 2008, but Champions League qualification for two teams that have really struggled in the Premier League. At 16th and 17th place in the league, it’s not the strongest teams they’ve had in their history, to put it mildly, but it makes the game all the more intriguing.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Leinster football final between Louth and Meath from Croke Park. Throw-in is at 4.15pm. This is the first provincial decider without Dublin since 2010 and Meath’s surprise defeat of the Dubs in the semi-final may have saved the Leinster championship. There is certainly a different buzz about the final this time, especially as it is a rerun of the controversial Leinster final of 2010 and the last minute Joe Sheridan goal that left Louth fans so aggrieved.
