In the rush to venerate 'the graetest fans in the world' it seems that some historical truths are being mangled. German website Taz.de has made a particular meal out of their story on the Irish fans, calling 'The Fields of Athenry' an IRA song.

From Google translate:
"They are the greatest - and most peaceful - Fans of the world that deserve a better Taem. They held the IRA song "Fields of Athenry" a powerful voice through to the final whistle, while the Spaniards had heard nothing. Sigmund Freud was right when he asserted that the Irishmen were the only people that could not be helped by psychoanalysis? They are full of contradictions and immune to rational thought processes."
