Subconsciously supporting the Boys in Green

Michael O’Neill’s Northern Ireland are poised for the knock-out stages of Euro 2016. Their 2-0 win over Ukraine made up for the disappointment of losing their opener to Poland.

Up next are Germany, on Tuesday. For now, their thousands of travelling fans are soaking up the atmosphere, views and beverages on offer in France.

These three Northern Irish fans were spotted on the streets today and, unfortunately for them, their jersey selection was outstanding. Nice, subconscious show of support for Ireland ahead of their game with Belgium.
