They should really consider hanging a framed photo of this Robbie Brady celebration up in the Louvre.
Robbie Brady's dramatic late winner against the Italians was a thing of absolute beauty. The best player on the pitch made a magnificent run from midfield, worked himself into that perfect position between the defence and the goalkeeper, before nodding Wes Hoolahan's marvelously-weighted cross past Salvatore Sirigu and into the Italian net. His subsequent celebration with his girlfriend and brother after the match will undoubtedly go down as one of the most iconic moments in Irish football history. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/745729913018290176?lang=en One photo of this beautiful cathartic moment could legitimately be placed in an art gallery. As Martyn Rosney pointed out on Twitter, it complies with the style of composition known as the Rule of Thirds (or the Golden Ratio), a technique implemented by the great painters of the Renaissance. https://twitter.com/rosney/status/745744383916519425 Caravaggio, eat your heart out. Your boys took a hell of a beating on Wednesday night.
