The entire country is waking up from the best type of dream, a McClean dream.
Ireland are heading for the world up play-offs following their win in Wales last night.
Martin O'Neill's side will be in next week's draw for the World Cup play-offs thanks to the legend that is James McClean sticking one in the back of the net in the 57th minute.

Then followed 38 minutes of an excruciating nail-biting waiting game until the ref blew his whistle and it was official.

Whenever Roy Keane is caught smiling on camera, it feels like something illicit has happened, like shifting in school at lunchtime. #IREvWAL
