We're live!

12:21

Had a little snafu with the link on the World Cup Blog site, should be fixed

12:25

Still haven't founnd any lineups,

12:27

The RTE pundits say that our best chance is to kick Berbatov and the Petrovs and make it a war. 2 of them say draw, 2 of them say a Bulgaria win.

12:30

The Bulgarians look mean when they're singing their anthem. It's like the Irish anthem is a symbol of pride and the Bulgarian anthem is a symbol of power, pretty funny.

12:32

Ireland lineup: Given, Dunne, O'Shea, St. Ledger, Kilbane, Duff, Whelan, Andres, Hunt, Folan, Keane

12:33

VERY happy that we're starting Folan over Best, didn't think Trapp would do that after his comments. I'd rather see McGeady than Duff, since he was rubbish this season for Newcastle and rubbish against Nigeria.

12:37

Solid attacking movement from ROI early

12:39

We've got to close these guys down, you can't let a team pass it around all day

12:39

Folan does well to hold the ball up and distribute to Duff, good cross to Hunt, header is saved

12:40

Seconds later, Folan's shot is saved. Very good stuff from Folan and Ireland early, just need more from the center mids.

12:41

Man United fans wish they'd seen this kind of intensity in Berbatov's eyes once this season

12:43

Folan does well to win a corner

12:44

Duff's corner is quality. Dunne flicks it towards the net, Keane thinks he has less room than he does and misses and acrobatic finish when he had time to take a touch in the 6

12:45

Man, is Bulgaria's whole game trying to beat the offside trap?

12:45

Richard Dunne with a brilliant tackle to prevent both an opportunity in the box and a corner, putting it out for a throw

12:47

Bulgaria corner, Berbatov looking brilliant

12:47

O'Shea clears

12:48

Folan appears to create a chance but is called for a foul

12:50

Folan and S. Petrov knock heads, looks nasty :(
