Irish, Swedish fans sing ABBA's 'Dancing Queen' ahead of match

Twitter

The world would be a better place if all football supporters treated the build up to an international match with the same joy that Irish and Swedish fans displayed ahead of Monday's encounter.

Rather than battering each other to a bloody pulp on the streets of France, the two fan bases decided to enjoy themselves with a rendition of ABBA's "Dancing Queen."

Both sets of fans took a chance on each other that violence wouldn't flare up like the nasty scenes in Marseille where Russian and English fans battled each other on the streets and inside the Stade Velodrome.

It was the type of violence that suggests the two fans bases won't partake in a conga line any time soon:

Ireland and Sweden will clash later in the day in hopes of eventually setting themselves up for a future scenario where the winner takes all.
