In a feelgood week for Irish football, U17 defender Finn Sherlock says the youngsters are buzzing ahead of today's "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" against Switzerland in the last 16 of the World Cup.

Colin O’Brien’s young Boys in Green came through the round of 32 on penalties against a tough Canada team who had taken points off of France and Uganda – both sides are also in the Last 16.
