If you felt a ripple of excitement coming over the Irish Sea last night it was probably caused by ecstatic celebrations in England at the end of their last-gasp World Cup victory over Tunisia.
It's fair to say that the BBC pundit and the nation in general were delighted with the result and why wouldn't they be? They weren't shy about saying so either, whether that was in the studio or online leading to some people airing the opinion that England fans should pipe down on their celebrations a bit. This tweet by 98FM's Dublin Talks presenter got a few backs up...
listening to the commentators on BBC, you'd swear #England had just won the world cup!! and then @GaryLineker says it was an "exceptional performance".. they must have been watching a different game. You were playing TUNISIA!! #ENGTUN #WorldCup #ENG

All in good spirits no doubt but there's nothing like the World Cup for fanning the flames even if we're not involved.
