They only went and did it!
Our boys in green have made their way to the World Cup play-offs after their 1-0 win over Wales last night.
And the man that made it all happen, James McClean has been since classed as a god.
Here’s what people have been saying on Twitter:
I would say James McClean should be king but I don't think he likes the monarchy. So I'll say he should be God.

And he’s been awarded with the prestigious award of ‘the freedom of Coppers’:
James McClean, you have the freedom of Coppers. 🙌
