Republic of Ireland look to keep Euro 2016 hopes alive against Belgium | INSIDER

The Republic of Ireland will look to keep their hopes of advancing to the Euro 2016 knockout rounds alive on Saturday when they face Belgium.

Ireland opened the tournament successfully with a 1-1 draw against Group E rivals Sweden, while Belgium, considered one of the tournament favorites, dropped their opener 2-0 to Italy. The Irish may have conceded late to Sweden, but were the better side for long stretches of the match.

If the Irish are to upset the Belgians, head coach Martin O’Neill believes that they must once again be aggressive as they were against the Swedes.
