We’re going to win the thing anyway, right?
You can check out the full draw for Euro 2016 by clicking here, but this is how Irish football fans reacted to the news that Republic of Ireland have been drawn against Belgium, Italy and Sweden, while Northern Ireland have been drawn against Germany, Ukraine and Poland.

As much as I want to get an excuse in early, Group D is the most deadly. Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic and Croatia is nasty. #Euro2016Draw

By the time Euro 2016 comes around I'll have convinced myself that we can beat Sweden, Belgium and Italy.

I'm not saying we can't qualify by any means but there's absolutely no way I'll be persuaded that there's a tougher group than ours.
