WATCH: ESPN couldn’t get over the Irish fans at the Euros when filming them in Paris

COYBIG!

Irish fans are making quite the name for themselves at home and abroad during these Euros. Buzzfeed France have already paid Ireland the ultimate compliment, and now ESPN have been blown away by our support at Euro 2016.

ESPN FC are filming 10,000 Miles to Paris, which sees them return to the capital for the final on July 10, and episode two, You Boys in Green, was all about the Irish.

It’s safe to say that the presenter, Prez, couldn’t get enough of the Boys in Green, as he started his trip in Dublin to embrace our culture, before finding his way to Paris to get stuck in with the Irish fans.

The magic moment occurs around the four minute mark, when Prez is asking a French fan why the Irish fans are so special, before the camera pans to a very, eh, enthusiastic supporter.

Take a look.
