Will you watch Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Hungary later?

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban will be in attendance and a protest is planned outside the Aviva Stadium.

THE IRISH MEN’S team will get their World Cup qualifying campaign underway at 7.45pm this evening against Hungary at the Aviva Stadium.

Meanwhile, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, a former professional player and noted football fanatic, will be there to cheer on his national team, though no official engagements with any Irish political figures are planned.

A protest will be held outside the stadium from 7pm, due to Orban banning Pride celebrations in Budapest.

On the field, some fans bemoan the international break, instead preferring the action of club football.

So we want to know: Will you watch Ireland versus Hungary tonight?
