The atmosphere is going to be amazing.

They’ve spent the best part of the weekend living it up in Paris, but for those lucky enough to get a ticket to today’s opener against Sweden, the time has come to get down to business. If the events of the last couple of days are anything to go by, the Ireland team are going to be greeted with an almighty atmosphere when they step out on to the pitch at the Stade de France. With more than two hours to go to the game, Irish fans were arriving at the stadium in their droves and they were already making a lot of noise, as is captured here by JOE reader Barry Dempsey at a train station nearby. https://twitter.com/debarry78/status/742353794361659392 And that’s only the start of it; this is going to be something special. Cheers to Barry Dempsey for sending this our way. Got a story for JOE? Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102 or mail editorial@JOE.ie.
