RTÉ's montage for Ireland's crunch game against Italy will have you believing again

The Boys in Green take on Italy this evening in Lille.

AFTER SATURDAY’S DEMORALISING defeat at the hands of Belgium, confidence amongst the Irish fans is at a low ebb – but that could be about to change.

RTÉ have produced a stirring montage to get the goosebumps going for even the most pessimistic of fans ahead of tonight’s must-win game against Italy.

The national broadcaster looks back at some of Ireland’s most famous encounters against the Italians – which includes Ray Houghton’s winning goal in USA ’94.

Ireland go into tonight’s game knowing a win will guarantee progression to the knockout stages of Euro 2016 – where Martin O’Neill’s men will join the likes of Northern Ireland, England and Wales.
