Appearances
They were sleeping on the floor of fire stations.
They were going to police stations and saying, we haven't got anywhere to sleep, can we please sleep here?
They were such good people and they were so excited to be there.
And I'll never forget, they played Ireland at the end of the group and the song that they sing...
which follows the team everywhere, they sung it, they were losing, they were going out in the last group game, they were losing to Italy, and they had about two-thirds of the stadium, I think we were in Poznan, and they sung this song from about the 82nd minute of the game, Fields of Athenry, and they sung it, and they sung it, and they sung it, and they got to 90 minutes, and they carried on singing it through time added on, and Jean-Luigi Buffon was the goalkeeper at that end, the island end, although it was like the island two-thirds, if you know what I mean.
and he went round, after they celebrated getting through, he went round very slowly, and the Ireland fans didn't leave, and he went round very slowly, and he applauded them all, he clapped them all, he waved to loads of people, and I spoke to him at a Champions League game for Juventus afterwards, in kind of basic English, which was my basic English, but I spoke to him, and he said that memory of those Ireland fans will last with him forever.
This is Gianluigi Buffon, he's seen and done everything, and for those fans, I really hope they get something to cheer about this time.
You're listening to the Sky Sports Euro 2016 podcast.
Right, let's focus on England-Russia, of course, which kicked off England's campaign in the group on Saturday night in Marseille.
We're all excited about this game.
We're recording this podcast on Thursday afternoon.
Nick, Friday morning you'll be travelling down to Marseille to see the official Matchday Minus One press conference with Roy Hodgson, as they call it, and giving us all the build-up.
from down there.
Before we talk specifically about Russia, let's hear from a journalist who we were able to grab a quick chat with earlier today at the England press conference, who was there representing the Russian media.
His name is Anton Matveev and he gave us his take on how England are perceived in Russia and what he's expecting from Saturday night's game.
And in terms of a goal-scoring threat, where would that come from?
I think there are a couple of key players missing, aren't there?
So you think all three will play?
All three strikers that have been called into the squad, they will start?
Obviously the Premier League is watched all over the world and I know people in Russia will watch it.
