It’s one of the major sporting days in Irish history.
We’re not quite sure if you’re aware, but Ireland are taking on France in Lyon on Sunday in the last 16 of Euro 2016… and, it’s safe to say, that one or two people excited.
If Martin O’Neill’s men pull this one off it will definitely go down as one of the greatest sporting achievements in the history of Irish sport so, with that in mind, it’s understandable that people are feeling a mixture of massive excitement and humongous trepidation.
The emotions are running high and here’s what’s been going on.
Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it. #COYBIGhttps://t.co/3PAAxeQ0HH
