This is why the Irish are the best fans in the world. When we go to invade we bring three things. Craic. Ceol. and Cash. There are so many moments already. Here are just a few.
This is where we were sitting in the Stade De France for the Ireland V Sweden game.
It was simply incredible.
Careful if you're a Hungarian News Reporter and there's Irish fans around!

This guys pops out to see what the craic is...then pops back in ...then pops back out!! Check out the reaction of the fans to the human cuckoo...Brilliant!
This is what the Euros is all about. Fans together singing in unison and having the craic.
Check out the Irish and Swedish fans here. Life's too short for fighting:
This builder didn't expect to be bringing so many lads to work in his van! We're known for building the world so why stop in France. "Can we win this? YES WE CAN!!"
There was a moment of reflection during the game where the thousands of Irish fans in attendance remembered the young Ballymena man Darren Rodgers who lost his life in a tragic accident in France. At this point in the game the fans sang "Stand Up For The Ulster Man" in tribute:
It wouldn't be a major sporting event without The Fields Of Athenry. The pipes are in fine form here lads!
