Ireland!

The European championships in football have finally started! This might be the best time, just before the matches when everyone is still hopeful. When just surfing around the internet, I found a couple of nice Irish songs, which I really enjoyed. 

"You'll never beat the Irish!!!"

"If I get nil,

you get nil,

if we don't score,

no-one will,

you say we're dull,

but we think we're brill,

and we all get nil,

together!!!"

We have now listened to these two songs numerous times. I also found another funny song about the Irish team, which can be worth listening to once. 

The lyrics describes the whole experience of the euros. It starts with the trip to Poland and continues describing the score in the group stage matches. Of course it tells the story of how Ireland manages to go through the group to face England in the quarterfinals. It then ends with an impressive 4-0 victory over the English. I really enjoy the fact that the songs ends there. It perfectly fits the Irish mentality, if we beat the English, then who cares about getting a medal...

GOOD LUCK IRELAND!!!
