Just in case the whole country wasn’t nervous and emotional enough already, RTÉ started their coverage of today’s football with this.

Martin O’Neill’s men prepare to take on hosts in the last 16 of the European Championships, knowing that a win would be this country’s greatest footballing victory of all time.
So fans already psyched up, Luke Kelly singing Raglan Road was almost too much for many.
Woah @RTEsoccer's Luke Kelly start there put something in my eye. #COYBIG #IRLFRA

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it. #COYBIGhttps://t.co/4tAFpPUoAY
