Do NI supporters also tend to root for the ROI and vice-versa?

I went to the same school as Martin O'Neill (about 40 years later in fairness.) |

Northern Ireland supporter here but cheering on the Republic today, hope at least one half of Ireland can get off to a good start!
Also heard that the ROI fans have organised a minute's applause for the Northern Ireland fan who died in Nice yesterday. Great to see true fans on both sides of the border reclaiming the sport from the bigots! |

He is coming off a great personal season, so he will be in a great place mentally, and most likely having already having his future sorted out after the tournament, so only having this to focus on, will mean he will be very dangerous.
He knows what club he's going to and he's in a really good position just to focus on the team as you say. This could be the beginning of a very special tournament for Sweden and Ibrahimovic. |

Apparently Irish and Swedish fans have been ordering rounds of beer and drinking with each other and both fans have been singing loudly, but it's been friendly. That's what football should be.

Well, Ibrahimović has had a terrific build up from you guys for this match. I see he hasn't scored for Sweden since November 2015, so I guess he has been saving himself for the big one this year. Hope you are all right as he can be very spectacular.

I have a feeling this might be a thriller but I hope not as I bet against thought

Were it that all countries had an anthem as stirring as Ireland's.
