Irish soldiers come to a standstill in Syria to tune in to Dublin for the All-Ireland final

The eyes of the world on Croke Park.

The Dublin and Kerry All-Ireland final is so big that they’re even watching it in Syria.

Brave soldiers in the Golan Heights stopped on Sunday to tune in to the capital city and watch the biggest day of the Irish sporting calendar.

Barry Jones also posted a class photo of the same group bunched around to watch the Mayo and Dublin replay in the semi final but, needless to say, the decider between the Kingdom and the Dubs is taking greater precedence.

Fair play folks, this is great to see.
