Evening all. We're all a bit dry with how BIG everything has to be nowadays, but there's no doubt about it: this is absolutely enormous. And I've not the slightest idea what's going to happen.

The bouncing has started around the ground. Denmark look pretty calm, as you'd expect from a side in the form that they are. Ireland are sitting back.

Denmark get it into Cornelius, inside the box, and he lays back for Kvist, who crosses towards Jorgensen ... Ireland get it away.

Ireland hump it into the mixah, where Cornelius is stationed to head away.

Duffy climbs over Cornelius, Cornelius backs in, free-kick Ireland.

Ireland set us away!

Swoon.

Denmark have seven on yellows, incidentally.

Fireworks pre-match, interesting behaviours.

The Irish belt out theirs, but the Danes go even harder, or at least, there are more of them.

The players line up and flares and smoke do their thing. Anthem time.

Here they come! The Parken is lively...

Kevin Doyle reckons Ireland will win 1-0. Course he does.

Similarly, weird to think Avram Grant managed to take Ghana to non-qualification.

And Morocco are there too. Weird to think Marc Wilmots made a mess with Cote d'Ivoire; who could possibly have predicted such a thing?

Eight Ireland players are on yellow cards. No problem, I'm sure.

I strongly recommend this.

Martin O'Neill says O'Dowda has pace and is playing well - he'll be in Robbie Brady's position on the right with McClean on the left. He then gets annoyed at questions as to why he's playing particular players but says Murphy scored twice against Moldova and all the calls are close ones.
