We have so many questions.

It was a heady night for Irish sport. Not only did they beat world champions Germany in a memorable Euro 2016 qualifying match in the Aviva, they also received congratulations form the most unlikely of places.

Among the many people tweeting their joy and congratulations to the lads was Justin Bieber - Keane may know Bieber from his time in LA but he's not known for his interest in Irish soccer, to be honest.

The controversy-prone singer tweeted his congrats to "my brother Keano and the Irish squad".

He also included what he said was a video from the squad bus of the team listening to Bieber's song "What do You Mean" after their win.

Riiiight…

Of course, there's no way of telling who the hell is on that bus or when or where it was filmed. And the bus seems a bit more subdued than we would have imagined.

But, ok, we'll buy it.

And the Biebs wasn't the only celeb tweeting the lads - but the others were a little more invested in the outcome.
