… As you do.

It’s fair to say that the vast majority of Irish supporters at home and abroad couldn’t contain their delight when Robbie Brady converted Wes Hoolahan’s cross and sent millions of people into a state of delirium.

Those very celebrations continued long into the night around the world, especially in the venue of the match, Lille, where a few Irish fans decided to cool off/get even more excited and take a nice dip in the local fountain.

We love the voice of reason at the beginning of the clip, who reminds the brave volunteers to “make sure you have no phone in your pocket”. Sound out.

Take a look.
