The game, like all others, will be broadcast live on RTE - but it's an acronym for that game which has caught the eye of the former Sinn Féin leader.
Similar to FIFA, RTE use three-letter codes to refer to teams in copy and on scoreboards
So for Monday's clash, we have ENG for England - and IRA for Iran.
One man who won't be supporting England on Monday will be Roy Keane.
The Manchester United legend will jet out to the desert state ahead of the tournament kicking off to work as a pundit on ITV's coverage.
The former Ireland captain was asked by Richards who he would be supporting at the tournament, with the ex-England defender following up with the question: "Are you one of us?"
Keane's facial expression said it all as he dodged the question and gave his verdict on who he wants to see crowned champions.
"They're obviously going to get into the knockout stages. I fancy them with the players they have. Obviously the brilliant goalkeepers so I'm looking forward to seeing Brazil."
Gary Neville interrupted to point out the Brazilians could have two Manchester United players in Fred and Casemiro playing in midfield, to which Keane replied: "Yeah, there you go. It's the weak spot but they've got other players who can cover that."
