This love letter from a Frenchman to the Irish supporters will make your day

We know we think we're great - but it's nice to hear it from our hosts.

If you're feeling a bit down today, this might do you good (plus it's Friday!).

A Frenchman has written the nation a love letter that's going viral on Facebook.

Translated by Celine Venet Le Riche, Olivier Sauton wrote this ridiculously sweet letter to the Irish fans, praising their "generosity, brotherhood and good atmosphere" and, most importantly, apologising for Thierry Henry.

"You do honor to your country, your people, to your ancestors. Even drunk, you're a gentleman. Even with your belly sticking over your shirt, you have class.

"Even defeated, you're in good spirits. I love you, the Irish, and I think I am telling the truth when I say the whole France that has fallen under your charm. You have so conquered us than you reign over us already. "

Stop, you're making us blush.

Here it is in full:

A bit OTT but we'll take it!

This line though: "You drink so much! I‘ve never seeing anything like it. And you're beautiful when you drink! You sing, you laugh, you make friends and I rarely see you vomit."

Oh Olivier, you sweet, summer child.

You have no idea.
