Ireland's love affair with France is contentious to say the least.

And yet according to the latest poll when it comes to the current France soccer team from coach Didier Deschamps to players such as Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, N'Golo Kante, Eduardo Camavinga, William Saliba and le collectif, the Irish is chorus is 'Je t'aime'.
