Someone probably needs to tell the RTE News channel that Ireland have beaten Hungary #HUNIRL #COYBIG
A screenshot from the RTE News channel which has this text at the bottom of the screen: 'Confidence is high, belief is building game by game, but can Ireland put in another heroic performance just 3 days after an energy-sapping, high octane victory over Portugal?'
