HI JUDE
Irish viewers delight at Roy Keane’s reaction in ITV studio to Jude Bellingham wonder goal that rescued England
A bigger challenge than Slovakia now awaits England in the last-eight though
ROY KEANE epitomised the bulk of Irish people while watching on from the ITV studio as Jude Bellingham spared England's blushes.
After being a non-factor for the entire game, the 21-year-old pulled a brilliant bicycle kick out of the bag in the 96th minute.

Understandably, this set off raucous scenes of joy up and down England - and even in ITV's studio out in Germany.
But amidst all of the hooping and hollering one figure barely seemed to care.
Keane took a step to the side as Ian Wright, Gary Neville et al. collectively lost their minds as Bellingham rescued their Euros campaign from the brink of an embarrassing elimination.
Irish eyes enjoyed how unbothered Keane was by the whole scene.

One fan joked: "Keane disgusted at the noise emanating from Neville."
While another added: "Roy speaking for us all there without saying a word."
Meanwhile another commenter posted: "Roy is all of us thinking they’ll be insufferable now!!"
Prior to that moment of genius England had not managed a single shot on target and would have deserved the ignominy of losing in the last-16 to a side ranked 45th in the world.

He had watched 11 elite footballers seemingly forget how to play football, without resorting to his bench - the England manager’s long-doubted in-game management as bad as ever in his 99th match in charge.
If England do not raise their game significantly when he reaches his century next weekend, they will be sent packing by a very useful Swiss side.
Phil Foden, the Footballer of the Year who never really does it for England, was particularly bad - somehow straying offside for a tap-in which should have seen the Three Lions level early in the second half.
A first-half strike from Ivan Schranz had sent England to the brink of a defeat which would have been every bit as bad as the 2016 humiliation by Iceland.
Kobbie Mainoo started - as he absolutely should have done from the start - in place of Conor Gallagher but that was it in terms of team changes.
Slovakia had beaten Belgium in a VAR-infested opener but had failed to kick on from that one shock victory and had finished third in their group.
So with Switzerland having dispatched of defending champions Italy with ease, a neutral would probably back Granit Xhaka and Co to come out on top in Saturday's affair.
The other confirmed quarter-final tie could serve as a de facto final as hosts Germany will lock horns with the tournament's most impressive team so far in Spain.
