Soccer
Seamus Coleman knows that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a hard man to stop tonight.
The Republic of Ireland face Portugal in a World Cup qualifier in Faro.
It's a 7.45pm kick off, as Stephen Kenny's men bid for their first points of the campaign.
If Ronaldo finds the net, he will break the all time international goalscoring record.
Captain Coleman knows Ireland must also play their own way:
Elsewhere in the group, Luxembourg host Azerbaijan at the same time.
Scotland meanwhile are away to Denmark.

Last week's gold medal winner Ellen Keane was second in her heat and she has qualified for the final of the SM9 200 metres individual medley.
That takes place just after 10.30am Irish time.
And it's another personal best for Limerick swimmer Roisin Ni Riain.
With a time of 1 minute 20.81 seconds, she has made the final of the SB13 100 metres breaststroke and is back in the pool just after 11am.
Phil Eagelsham missed out on a place in the shooting final.
