England vs Republic of Ireland History

The Three Lions won the FIFA World Cup in 1966 on home soil and have spent the following decades desperately seeking a fresh triumph. That World Cup win came off the back of a memorable 4-2 extra-time win over West Germany at Wembley Stadium, and a succession of national team coaches have tried in vain to replicate this success. The likes of Sir Bobby Robson and Terry Venables tried manfully to do so before Gareth Southgate got painfully close on a number of occasions. He took England to the Semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, where they lost to Croatia and then to the finals of both Euro 2020 and Euro 2024, where fans were dealt a blow, first via penalties against Italy at Wembley, and then being edged out 2-1 by Spain in Germany.

The Republic of Ireland had universally failed to qualify for any major tournaments prior to the appointment of Jack Charlton as their national team coach in 1986; ironically, he was part of the England set-up that won in 1966. He became an immediate cult hero in Ireland and helped the Boys in Green get to the Quarter-finals of Italia 1990 and then took the team to the finals of the World Cup again in 1994. However, though Mick McCarthy performed well as Charlton’s successor, a series of managers have failed to come close to repeating the feats of the much-loved boss.

England vs Republic of Ireland Head-to-Head

These two national teams first met in competitive action in the qualifying for the 1958 FIFA World Cup, with England winning 5-1 at home and drawing in Ireland. In 1988, the two sides met in the European Championship finals, with Ray Houghton scoring a famous winner in Stuttgart. They played again at the FIFA 1990 World Cup, with Gary Lineker opening the scoring for Bobby Robson’s side before Kevin Sheedy leveled in Cagliari.
