VIDEO: RTÉ’s opening montage for Ireland vs Italy will make you believe we can win

Carl Kinsella

The moment of truth is upon us.

Starting with an inspiring monologue from Conor McGregor ahead of their 1-1 draw with Sweden, it’s fair to say that RTÉ have got their coverage of Ireland’s Euro 2016 campaign pretty spot-on.

They’ve upped their game with the pre-match montage for tonight’s decisive clash with Italy, which will either see Ireland tumble out of the tournament or power through to the knock-out rounds.

The video features goals from our (relatively) successful games with Italy during the qualifying campaign for the 2010 World Cup – as well as the times that they’ve broken our hearts (we’re looking at you Schillaci).

Most importantly, the video shows Ray Houghton’s winner against the Italians in 1994 – which encapsulates exactly what the boys in green need to do tonight: win.
