6,000 miles across the world, there are a group of Thai kids who have really upped the motivation game as we approach the opening match of Euro 2016.
You’ve probably seen the Thai Tims before. They’ve recorded songs dedicated to the All-Ireland final and Katie Taylor in the past but they’ve truly outdone themselves with their effort ahead of the European Championships.
Paul Lennon of the Good Child Foundation works with children with special needs in Thailand and has passed on an infectious passion for all things Ireland.
Anything less than reaching the final will be a failure having listened to this!
“A frying pan, a camper van. Off to the Euros.
“Eggs and bacon all the way, down to Bordeaux.
“Paris has the Mona Lisa by Leonardo.
“Bon Voyage, don’t get lost on the metro.
“Sweden, Belgium, Italy – prepare for sorrow
“You’ll never beat the Irish at the Euros.
“Martin O’Neill leads the team, he’s our hero
“And the man from Cork City is Roy Keano.
“Fans from Dublin, Derry, Limerick, Mayo and Carlow
“From Belfast, Monaghan, Wicklow and Sligo.
“The Irish team and the Irish fans are a mighty combo
“And the craic will be ninety at the Euros.
