Oh lads, the nerves.
It’s one of Ireland’s most important games in years, as the Boys in Green take on Belgium in their second group game of Euro 2016.
With kick-off in Bordeaux set for 2pm, Irish supporters in Ireland, France and throughout the world are buzzing with excitement, nerves and tension before the start of the match.
Here are the best tweets to whet the appetite.
#IRLBEL Hoping for a point today but #Bel mugged by #Italy will be much better – we must be even better than against #SWE #COYBIG

Hopefully these Belgians end up as disappointed as that Belgian girl I met for a tinder date. I'm sorry I wasn't taller Rosie. #IRLBEL
