What do soccer fans around the world think of this spectical ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmCosY56lRI&lis?
A moment that I will (hopefully) never forget then began at about the 86th minute of the contest. With Spain controlling possession in the midfield and their team minutes away from being eliminated from Euro 2012, a group of Irish fans in the stands began singing "The Fields of Athenry," a folk ballad that is a sporting anthem often heard at football and rugby matches featuring Irish sides or the Ireland National Team. The song picked up momentum little by little. It took about two minutes for the anthem to overcome all other noise inside the stadium, an incredible example of Irish pride and also a show of love for a group of players who were simply beaten by a better team on that evening.
The best part of all for those of us watching on television was that commentators from around the world realised that a truly special moment was occurring, and they, outside of a word here and there, ceased calling the action.
