Irish Fans singing EURO 2012 Spain - Ireland

This is still one of my favorite moments in any sport. Absolutely beautiful, nothing else need be said.

But you have to say that the German commentor really had a feeling for the situation and he was paying respect to the irish fans by not saying almost anything.

Respect to the German commentator

Best fans ever yeah they loss 4-0 but they don't loss their proud , biggest respect to Irish people

Wrong end of a 4-0 scoreline, facing elimination... and just listen. That's heart, man. That takes heart. I'll never forget this. Thanks for the upload. "If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough."

I will never forget this. At the time I was in absolute awe at what was going on and almost moved to tears, still am today. Much, much respect from Portugal.

Irish fans the best! Greetings from Russia

This is one of few magical moments, which I remember from this Euro. I was a kid then and felt much respect for Irish fans. For me it was something new, something astonishing that fans can be so proud of their team and their country when they are losing 4-0 and support them until the end. Moments like this taught me that you should always believe in yourself, your team, your family or nation. Even if a win is impossible, just fight for yourself and show the world your best side to make you remembered and admired like the Irish fans.

Just a beautiful moment in world football. Outplayed, outshone, of course. No question. Outclassed? Out-voiced? Not a chance. Their journey had ended long before, plain to see. The legacy that that group of fans were determined to leave was nothing less than sublime. Beautiful.

I remember of this. I was drunk from Italia-Croatia. And this chant, woke me up from my hangover. Respect from Italy. Irish best fans in the world.

Married a polish girl in 2011, was at this game and all my polish relatives and friends never miss a chance to talk about this game and the Irish fans in general, it was a galvanising moment in my relationship with my inlaws. The polish news had special reports from cities all over poland with Irish fans having fun and cleaning up trash in the city, and funny banners written in Polish seeking polish girls hanging outside bars 😂. It was really enjoyable having my inlaws transfixed with Irishness and translate news reports for me and being thoroughly impressed with Irish character to point of bamboozled. It was after a period of 10 years where Ireland had a lot of polish come to ireland for work so there was a lot of curiousity to visit poland and many Irish had polish friends there to show them about and put Irish wit and humour in polish on banners and flags. It was a great time.

Supporter of Ireland are great! Respect from France.

I have no connection with spain or ireland. But i have watched this magical moment so many times over the years.

This is what supporting your nation is about. Camaraderie, togetherness and a sense of belonging. It doesn't matter what the score is - it's only a game after all. God bless the Irish fans!

huge respect from a english and and wigan fan, showing what being a football fan is all about. singing your heart out and doing your part not only for your team and yourself, but your county. brilliant!!!

I cry. The Irish fans is the best. Respect from the Poland.

I remember this, I was watching the last minutes of the game in awe. Irish are such special people. Respect from Spain.

Absolutely Great Irish Fans! , long live Ireland. Love from Syria.
