How well do you know these Irish football anthems... in Swedish

What’s the Swedish for ‘Give it a lash, Jack’?
3.00pm, 11 Jun 2016

BY NOW, WE know you’re well familiar with Ireland’s favourite football anthems.

However, ahead of the Euro 2016 opener with Sweden on Monday, we thought we’d throw in a twist and see just how well you knew them… in Swedish.

To make it a bit easier, we just want the name of the song the line comes from.

With special thanks to our Swedish source, Isabella Alexis O’Rourke, for the translations.
