Euro 2016 has made a remarkable number of headlines because of fan violence. UEFA has already threatened to boot England and Russia out of the tournament because of hooliganism. Luckily, there is one nation that brought fans who appear to be partaking in the Euros as a celebration of soccer and not an excuse to throw chairs at people: Ireland.
Yes, that Ireland. The Ireland whose citizens are famous for doing things like drunkenly throwing chairs and punching people.
Or, at least, Ireland brought Irish people on as good of behavior as Irish people can be on.
So far at Euro 2016 the Irish have partaken in much more singing than punching, which is great. They sang some ABBA with the Swedish fans before those countries played to a 1-1 draw.
They also sang the Yaya-Kolo Toure song at a random black guy.

Now, we don't know for certain they were singing the Yaya-Kolo Toure song at this dude just because he's black, but, come on. He seems to be into it though. This moment would be way better if the Toure brothers were playing in Euro 2016 and were not Ivory Coast internationals, though.
The Yaya-Kolo Toure song, it must be said, is one of the catchiest tunes of all time, and a particular favorite here at The18. It's powerful enough to even make Martin Skrtel want to dance.
Let this be a lesson to the Russians and the English and everybody else out there throwing chairs in France: don't throw chairs. Just sing some songs. It's way more fun.
