Carl Kinsella

Has everyone recovered? No? We didn’t think so.

Ireland is in a state of elated shock this morning after Robbie Brady’s header put us through to the last 16 of a major tournament for the first time since 2002.

The boys in green overcame the odds last night with a commanding display against Italy and will now face off with hosts France in the second round of Euro 2016 on Sunday.

The reality of the challenge hasn’t really sunken in yet as pretty much all Irish football fans are still in a stunned stupor.

For those of you who want to bask in the glory of last night for just a little while longer, check out these Twitter posts from Ireland’s heroes:
