The last two round of 16 games are upon us.
Sweden play Switzerland in a blockbuster World Cup knockout before all attention turns to the question of whether or not it is, in fact, coming home.
3pm: Sweden v Switzerland
7pm: England v Colombia
Whilst ITV and BBC battle it out over who gets to show what, RTÉ will broadcast both to the Irish public and, to do so, they’ll need two different pundit line-ups.
For the 3pm and 7pm kickoffs, they are opting for two completely different teams but two solid line-ups in fairness.
SWITZERLAND v SWEDEN
Coverage starts: 2.30pm
Presenter: Jacqui Hurley
Pundits: Dietmar Hamann, Damien Duff, Hope Solo
Commentary: Adrian Eames, Brian Kerr
Hope Solo’s debut on Monday drew a strong reaction from the public but she did not sit on the fence and offered some engaging conversation and first-hand experience.

ENGLAND v COLOMBIA

Presenter: Darragh Maloney
Pundits: Richard Dunne, Liam Brady, Eamon Dunphy
Commentary: George Hamilton, Ray Houghton
Both games will be shown live on RTÉ 2.
