IF YOU THINK we’re going to ask you who scored Ireland’s winning penalty against Romania, this is not the quiz for you.
Instead, we’re going to glory in the minute details, maybe throw in the odd trick question, anything to ensure you leave this quiz in floods of tears like Gazza in a World Cup semi-final.

Buona fortuna!
