While it is possible to follow and enjoy multiple sports, Irish fans couldn't help but remind people that when all is said and done, nothing comes close to a big result for the Ireland football team.
Rugby has been having it's moment over the last few year, given the success of the team, but nothing comes close to the hype that a big football result creates.

After the game, manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said: "I think they got scared in the end, so they dropped off.
"I want to give them credit, they were probably better than us on the day, especially in the first half, we were struggling.
"We were passive, I don't know why we were scared in the beginning, but it looked like we were off, especially the first, I would say, 15 minutes.
"We started by conceding three or four corners in a row, they scored from one, four minutes, we are 1-0 down and we need two goals to qualify.
"The guys kept on believing and we kept on knocking and took chances, and when you take chances sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, and luckily for us it worked today.
"We had three strikers up front in the end, and sometimes you're punished for doing things like this, but luckily for us we weren't today.
"I think in the end it was good to concede so early and we had time to recover, it's strange to say it, but we had more time to recover and basically had nothing to lose and that's what we said at half-time, we basically had nothing to lose."
