The Republic of Ireland's supporters have a reputation as some of the most passionate in the football world, and they are most definitely seeking to keep up that name in Euro 2016. 

The Boys in Green take on Sweden on Monday in their first clash of the tournament, in Paris' Stade de France. 

And Zlatan Ibrahimovic's men will have to tackle a healthy support for Martin O'Neill's men, if scenes in the French capital earlier in the day are anything to go by.
