Came back to this after a few years.. To be fair the commentator had not much to say becos the game was done.. Think Spain took it easy. But yes class supporters.

Actually, no, he deliberately didn't speak to give the audience the feeling of the atmosphere in the stadium, even years after he said, he felt it was his duty to shut up to honor the Irish supporters

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.

[@sokratissuckacockalus2408]

Thank you. Needed that today

[@konradleszczynski7246]

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.

[@ianstephenson9721]

That's the Irish spirit. They have a deep love for their country and will stick by it until the very end. That's what makes Irish people so special.

[@arkadiuszkurnat7637]

[@pcset12]

[@jamesmurphy4021]

Unfortunately which is a huge understatement - Ireland is now no--more thanks to successive corrupt governments. It is being taken over by massive illegal migration from foreign lands that do not respect or value Irish culture or our way of life - Our beautiful little island is being over-run by Islam and Moslems and we have no-where else to go - this is our only home-and it is being over-run and destroyed by our thoughly corrupt political leaders. They must surely be made accountable !!!

[@Patch801]

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.

By the football or the fans

[@Sean0780]

I remember watching this game back in 2012. I started watching football earlier in the year at 31 years old while my mom was in the ICU for weeks before succumbing to her illness. I think I watched all the Euro matches that I could handle, and when the Irish started belting out The Fields of Athenry, it gave me goosebumps. My mom celebrated her Irish ancestry, so it definitely gave me the sense of her presence!

[@raslo1568]

On the pitch: Spain 4-0 Ireland On the grandstands: Spain 0-4 Ireland And I am Spanish! To be honest I didnt know the lyrics until now. Its a very beautiful and sad song. Irish people are brave and worthy. I am so proud because we had a brotherhood centuries ago and we helped eachother so much. Proud to be catholic

[@jimmyc9166]

Not just a Brotherhood but a bloodline, at the end of the last ice age ( younger dryas ) it was the people from northern Spain that repopulated the newly exposed Ireland...

[@dannyjamison2462]

Craig Rand My father used to say in 70's and 80's when he used to follow his club around the country and Europe, away games used to be all about the day out with his friends and others he only ever at football games and the football game itself was kind of just there.

[@nickcoletti6906]

@@bryanmurphy1107 Sorry Bryan, I didn't see your comment for a long time. Hope you can excuse me. Here the full translation of all the commentator said: We like to listen when the Irish fans sing the end of the game. The Spaniards hit the right note today. It was a great composition of twists and turns. In possession, it was a prime example of how to master a predictable opponent with limited resources, how to set him up and make up for everything in the second half in terms of consistent chance exploitation that was missed in the first half. (End) That's not the end of the song, but the Spaniards said it all with their performance on the pitch. Torres receives instructions for the first interview he is about to give. 4:0 defeated the world and European champions harmless Irish, fully deserved at the height. Kind regards! ;)
