As you may know, Ireland play Denmark tonight in the second leg of their World Cup qualifier, with the winning team going on to play in the finals in Russia next summer.
There's a sense of nervous anticipation around the country that feels a bit like the night before you get your Leaving Cert. results. Is tomorrow going to be a national day of mourning, or will the credit unions have queues out the door?
Here are the best tweets about tonight's match (kick off at 7.45pm, FYI):

Weird waking up knowing that Ireland are going to qualify for the World Cup tonight. Not thinking, knowing. I'm never usually this confident about anything

Not that it has much bearing on tonight’s match but Denmark haven’t scored against Ireland since April 1993. Only three games since then but that was their only goal against us since they hammered us in 1985. #coybig

2018 will be the 30th anniversary since we qualified for a first major tournament. 3 Euros and 3 World Cups since, what better way to celebrate Euro 88 than making it to Russia next year. And how lucky are people of my generation to have lived through it all. #COYBIG

Spirit of New Jersey. Spirit of Lille. Spirit of Cardiff. 16 years without a World Cup. Don't let me down Ireland. #COYBIG
